Summary: Big Regrets!!!
Review: This is one of the worst purchases I have ever made! I am not that bothered by the 8 hours I spent trying to get the device to work. The directions are awful; the software is terrible; and the effort required to download the first set of songs was hardly worth it! Once I finally figured out how to download songs, things seemed OK. The device was working well and the sound quality was pretty good. This lasted for 3 months and then one side of the headphones just stopped working. Philips sent me new headphones, no questions asked, and I was up and running once again. Things appeared to be going fine until another 7 months passed and one side of the new headphones stopped working. OK . . .I figured I would just learn to live with this problem, but then the headphones just stopped working all together! I called Philips. They were supposed to send me new headphones a month ago and I still have not received them yet! I haven't even had this product for one year!! At this point I don't want new headphones. Instead I am going to buy a different device. My overall experience with this product was bad and I would therefore not recommend that anyone purchase this unit. It is poorly made and I think Philips knows this!

Summary: All Good Things Don't Come In Small Packages
Review: This is the first MP3 player I have owned. It is a great size
for athletes to use during exercise. I find it to be light weight and the arm band is very comfortable. The extension is nice but somewhat on the high maintenance end if you just want to put the player on and run. Sound is good and skipping is not an issue.
Downsides I found were that it came with very limited instructions for downloading music and reinstallation of software is often necessary to get your computer to recognize the device. After two weeks of ownership it has demagnitized twice despite taking all of the necessary precautions. And good luck if you need customer support. It only took 12 tries to get through to them. Best to try at 7:00amEST.
Overall, good size and fun to use, but downloading or changing your music can take some time.

Summary: Piece of Crap, Don't Bother, Seriously
Review: This item is a pure piece of crap! First of all it does not work well with WinXP. Had to find out the hard way it would only find the driver need if you have Win 2000 or 98. The frustration of trying to install the music was hardly worth it so that you can only download about 14 songs! If you have Win 2000 or 98 and want something that will only last you a couple of months, this is the product for you. Tried to contact Phillips, they act is if they didn't even realize they made this product. If you need a serious piece of equipment PLEASE DO NOT GO WITH PHILLIPS! Consider yourself warned, do not become a victim. I will never purchase another Phillips item again! I would give it zero stars, but hey i had to put something.
