Summary: Couldn't workout without this thing!!
Review: I've read a few bad reviews about this MP3, but have to say I haven't had any trouble at all with mine! I love it!! The software was easy for me to load (I have windows ME) and is user friendly I think as far as downloading music. It is great to run with and holds plenty enough music to get me through a heart-pounding workout!
If I had to say anything bad it would be that I don't care for the headphones. They don't fit in my ears that well at times and when running they have slipped out especially when I start sweating. So, I will replace those. Also, the remote thing it comes with is kind of wasteful. I have yet to use it. But, besides that, I love this thing and when/if it stops working, I will get another!

Summary: difficult at first but worth it
Review: Like everyone else, I had trouble at first downloading it. I then just followed the setup from the disk and then found it easy if I read everything. I have windows ME and had very little problems. It just took awhile due to the fact that there is not an instruction guide. In all, I am having no problems with it and it is great to work out with. The arm band is great and its easy to use once you get the hang of it.

Summary: I've bought 5 of these!! they go KAPOOT on you!!
Review: Okay at first loved this even purchased the one with more memory 128 and the little window, however after some time they just up and die on you!! in fact I have 4 of these sitting in my car at this very minute that have all just died???? I'm going to get a box and send them all out to Phillips because this was ridiculous. I would recommend doing some major investigating for all the MP 3 players out there I have had my collection for about 2 years now. The arm band is handy, they are small enough not to get in your way, it holds enough music for a hour work out, down loading the music is fairly simple once you get the hang of it, but sometimes (it may just be my computer) the computer doesn't recognize that is it there.
Oh yea and the rubber buttons can become a challenge to press down on you end ruining the face of the player because sometimes you'll have to use your finger nails which eventually cuts into the rubber.

Summary: Horrible experience - do not buy this
Review: Simply stated - this product just isn't compatible with XP. Even if it installs correctly it will fail after a period of the player sitting idle or the player batteries running down.Technical support is a joke, they have a "customer is always wrong attitude" if you can reach them. This thing may, or may not, work for you but I don't recommend taking the risk.

Summary: Software trouble
Review: Software does not work with Mac OSX. Hopefully there is a download on the Nike-Philips wesite.

Summary: Truly for the active and on the go.
Review: The bad first: Complaints about the instructions is valid. Instructions are cryptic at best. But if you know anything about computers, you'll be fine. If you don't, this is what you do: install the Nike psa software to format the internal hard drive. You only need to format your drive when it has to be erased and reset. If you have Windows XP, it will auto-detect the psa when you plug it in the USB port. Just stick the CD in when prompted. WARNING: Windows XP will tell you the software isn't qualified. Just accept and continue. Then install the Music Match software to download music to your psa. Once the Music Match software is installed, you can read on-line instructions on how to use it. What else? The headphones do suck. But you can probably afford to buy a better pair with the $200-$300 you save by NOT buying the iPod. The good: If you run, if you're physically active, if you go to the gym, this is the best. It's not bulky. In fact it's pretty ergonomic. I saw some guy trying to lift weights with a rectangular iPod hanging in a pouch from his triceps. It looked dorky. By contrast I had someone tell me the psa looked "sexy." Nice, eh? That's why you go to the gym, right? I got caught in a rainstorm with this thing. No problem. It's not waterproof, but the design will keep it intact so long as you don't dive into a puddle of water. You choose: The equalizer is limited. But if you've been running for 30 minutes in 80 degree heat, you're not thinking Bang and Olufsen here, ya know? Batteries aren't rechargeable. One AAA will last you about a week if you're really active. That kinda sucks when your battery peters out halfway through your run in the middle of nowhere. All in all, I'm in love with my little psa. But do yourself a favor and get the 128 MB player instead. The 64 MB IS NOT upgradeable, and you'll want the 2 hours that 128 MB will give you.

Summary: Software is ridiculous
Review: The Nike PSA player itself looks like a great little device, and is the perfect size for working out. I wouldn't know firsthand, though, because I never could get the driver software to install. The MusicMatch software installed quickly on Windows XP, but the drivers would not. After trying all of the updates from the Philips websites, and Firmware updates, still, nothing. This was all attempted by a network engineer who troubleshoots software and hardware installations for a living. I then attempted to use the Philips help line, but they were of no help at all. After reading numerous reviews, it is clear to me that there are definite problems with the software, and it's not worth taking a chance by purchasing this product.

Summary: up & "running" in 5 minutes
Review: the reviews above made me worry - but as a sucker for "small electronics" and a runner I could not resist the nike-philips psa64 (psa[64 ???).
My experience was different from the reviews; I plugged the device in my PC (running XP) - loaded the CD&drivers; even ignored the recommended reboot - using Microsoft's Media Player 9 I could load a mix of MP3 and WMA-files and I was off in literally a couple of minutes. Easy! I am not impressed by the instructions (no suggestion on what is required and what is mandatory - see WMP use) and the software install (not certified my MS and why ask to reboot if not needed?) - hence 4 stars, not 5...

Summary: Runners/Cyclist perfet MP3 PLayer
Review: This is a fine piece of electronic, nice sound, nice and easy controls, very nice the arm band, but the headphones are a little heavy and keep falling off the ears, just replace them with a regular headphones and you are good to go! 64 megs holds up o 15 mp3's good enough to my work out routine. I wish they made a belt holder or something like that. OVERALL, preatty nice MP3 Player. PS: If you are st00pid and don't know how to install it..., don't write a bad review....
