Summary: No Windows 2000 support,
Review: Do not buy a Philips Rush. The software only supports Windows 98. It does not support Windows 2000 or Mac. Think you'll just use a SmartMedia card reader like SanDisk ImageMate to transfer MP3 files? Think again, the Rush will not play normal "unsecure" MP3 files, they have to be encrypted with the RealJukeBox software. The Rush also does not support Windows Media Audio, the firmware is not upgradable, and it is expensive..

Summary: Philips Rush SA 107 64MB -Think twice before you buy.
Review: Guess what, I bought a Phillips Rush 64MB MP3 player, double the price of the above one and absolutely no use at all!!!! I am in situation where I can't use it or throw it.That's really a cute little piece which attracted me, but I can't transfer files from my hard disk to the device. Called up the customer service, they never ever got such an error...!!! Now what??? And more over it doesn't work in Windows NT or 2000, only with 98. So give a second thought on this item.

Summary: No software problems
Review: I bought a Philips RUSH SA107, and I was worried because of the reviews on how terrible the software was. Here's my experience.
* Software does not work under Windows 2000?: It works perfectly. After installing Real Jukebox 1, just remember to install the patch for Windows 98 (also comes with the CD, works with Windows 2000 as well). Then Real Jukebox 1 can recognize RUSH. I did it on both Windows 2000 Server and Professional. The only reason I upgrade to Real Jukebox 2 (even though they recommend against it) is that it allows me to modify song details (title, artist ...)
* Can load 96kbps songs and lower only?: It's true that you can't encode MP3 more than 96kbps with Real Jukebox, unless you get their free add-in. However, even though I don't have that add-in (Real update server ...[stinks]!!), I can load 128kbps songs and higher to RUSH smoothly. The solution: encode your songs with other softwares (plenty of them) and use Real to load them to RUSH. With 128kbs, the sound is perfectly clear to my experience.
So, the software problems can be solved if you try.

Summary: Its good but its not amazing.
Review: I bought this for my self thinking that I was gonna have an amazing mp3 player since it was made by philips which is amazing in technology. I lean to them as my favorite company any ways to the mp3 player. I got the mp3 player and i put a song on it and decided to listen to it seeing how clear the sound was it was kind of clear but not totally. So i thought ok not bad but then i decided to take a run with it and i could barely hear anything except for the on coming traffic it wasnt loud enough and sometimes it would skip not very much but some times. I could only store about 8 songs cause most of my songs were 5 mega bytes so i was mad about that.

Summary: A decent player at a decent price
Review: I bought this mp3 player anticipating some technical problems involving windows 2000. Although I updated my real player software and went through all the motions, the program could not find the device. One review claimed no problems. Perhaps he/she was running 2000 professional instead of server, and used a usb line instead of a parallel. Whatever the case, I had a win98 machine and everything worked smoothly. The sound quality was decent and I haven't had any problems. Overall it's a nice little player and isn't bulky like a cd player or walkman. With the 32 mb smart media card you get nearly an albums worth of material.

Review: I bought this player because I wanted something very basic and it is fantistic! It works very well with Windows ME and has a pretty fast download time. It is very portable.

Summary: A waste of money and TIME!
Review: i got this player 2 years ago for christmas...
i like the size and some of the options that it has...
what it sucks about this player is that when you are uploading th songs, your are not uploading MP3...so its gonna take longer...maybe a couple years...
also this mp3 player is based in LPT1 connection, so it makes the player one of the slowest players in the world when you are uploading songs....
also, you CANT use this MP3 on WINDOWS XP...theres no windows xp driver.....
adding to all this, PHILIPS COSTUMER SERVICE SUCKS!! they dont know anything about their products...
so, if u wanna buy a very cheap MP3 player DO NOT think about buying this one, even if is $5....

Summary: Too Bad
Review: I purchased my Rush SA107 30 days ago. The unit comes with all the accessories that you would need, however, they are to no avail when the main unit doesn't work. This is my second unit. The first one had a bad connection for the audio output. The unit I currently have also has a bad audio output jack but I learned to live with that.
The unit keeps shutting off after a minute or two. I just got off the phone with Rush support and it appears this one is defective. I will soon be on my third unit.
I bought mine at a discounted price($...) instead of $.... Had I spent the full reatil price I really would be sick.
My advice is to keep looking, don't stop with this unit. It is a slick unit and would be great if it worked as it was supposed to unfortunately, this isn't the case.
