MP3 or WMA are two of the compression formats that let you enjoy a world of digital music on your GoGear player. Download MP3 or WMA songs from authorized music sites on the Internet or create your own MP3 or WMA music files by ripping your audio CDs and transferring them onto your player.

Fast Downloads From Your PC via USB 2.0
Transferring large music and video data files at high speed from the computer to your portable MP3 or MP3 video player is now a breeze, thanks to the USB 2.0 device that comes with your player. Just connect it to the USB 2.0 port of the computer using the cable provided for the speedy process to start. And your music is ready to go wherever you go.

Voice Recording to Take Notes or Record Anything, Anytime
Voice recording converts your GoGear player into a handy dictation machine. Besides playing music or listening to radio, you can also record notes or reminders for work or school, record shopping lists and phone numbers – even song lyrics. By pressing the recording button and speaking into the built-in microphone, voice messages are compressed and stored in the built-in internal memory. Voice recording gives you a highly portable voice recorder allowing you to record anything, anytime and anywhere.

Customer Reviews

Very Nice Basic mp3 Player
I am very happy with this mp3 player. This is my first real mp3 player, and I decided videos and pictures weren't something I needed or wanted, so I first considered an iPod Shuffle. After my brother reminded me that with iPod comes the mandatory iTunes, however, I decided to look for another brand. I decided to go with Philips because I've had many good experiences with their products in the past.

The player itself is very nice, like the other reviewer said, being made of metal is great and it feels very durable. It's very easy to use and has the features I wanted. You can shuffle and repeat songs and all that good stuff. Adding music is really simple, just drag and drop. The sound quality is really good. The battery life is great. You just plug in into your computer to charge it and it doesn't take long at all. I've never had it go completely dead thus far.

The earphones are great. This was the main reason I chose this model over the red, 4 GB version that comes with regular earphones. I guess I have small ears because I always have problems with earbuds hurting my ears and falling out. Because of the little wrap around piece on these however, it is easy to get this pair to stay, and stay comfortably. I wear this when I clean my house and even when I look under my couch, turning my head almost completely upside down, these still don't fall out.

I also love the little case it comes with. I didn't really think I'd use this when I bought it, but I was wrong. This consists of two pieces, a stretchy arm band, and then a very snug case for the player itself. It makes the player feel very protected and has a velcro loop thing that you can attach to the arm band or a belt loop (much more convenient than putting the player in your pocket, which is what I thought I'd do). There is also a little loop at the very top which I guess could be used to attach it to a keychain or something similar.

All in all I would definitely buy this again, in fact my mother is thinking about getting one for herself.

Excellent iPod Shuffle Alternative
This MP3 player is an excellent alternative to Apple's iPod Shuffle. The Philips player has more features, like an FM radio and voice recording, and is very well built with a mostly metal case.

Unlike some other small, inexpensive MP3 players that are cheaply built, this player feels solid and of good quality. I purchased this for exercising to replace a Sandisk player whose headphone jack failed after only 3 months. The Philips player feels solidly built.

I considered the Shuffle, but the Philips is also really small and has more features for less money including a handy case. As a second player that's extremely small and lightweight, I'd recommend the Philips GoGear SA1929 near the top of the list compared to alternatives.

Great MP3 player
I bought this mainly to listen to when I work out. I am very happy with the product! the sound quality is great and it comes with head phones, a carrying case, and arm band. It is very simple to operate and holds a charge for a long time. The head phones also stay in securely, they don't fall out. I highly reccomend this product to anyone in need of a nice user friendly MP3 player.
