I got this player for Christmas, and so far I have found no fault with it. The battery last for an incredibly vast amount of time, its pretty cool looking, and it holds a decent amount of songs, (pretty good if you use mainly for jogging) The one thing that I felt compelled to tell some buyer after reading some reviews was that you don't have to flip through all the songs to get to the one you want. Instead of clicking on music in the main menu, just click on folder view, then it goes to "music" just click next/fast forward button instead of clicking play and it allows you to look at all your files. Well I think if you want a handy, cheap and a quality product, I definitely recommend this. Good choice for my son
I bought this for my 15 year old son as an inexpensive replacement after he lost his Creative Zen Micro. It seemed a bit foolish to buy him another mp3 player, but I felt sorry for him since he'd saved his money for months to buy the Creative, then lost it in a matter of weeks. Not Bad...
The userbility of this player is good and simple. Two complaints: the size of earbud, it's a bit on the large size...at least for me. The software, I hate Musicmatch, it works fine but I'm not finding it to be very simple. Who knows, next week after I've worked with it more I may like it too. I've had this player for about a week now and I've had no problems as yet, even when I'm jogging. I would recomend this player to whoever wants a nice player and doesn't want to spend alot of money. Pleased with purchase
I love the player. The addition of the FM tuner is a major bonus. Downloading to it is easy, recharges quickly, fidelity is good, and the small size is great. My only small complaint is that it does not start back up at the song you were playing after shutting down the unit. Good value for the price.
This is my first MP3 player. It is easy to set up and use. It's also compact and light, and has a bright screen - perfect for exercise and other outdoor activities. Holds approx. 125 songs or many, many hours of lectures, conference calls, audio books, etc. Not good for podcasts
The device itself is nice looking, easy to use, connects to your computer without a cable, and has surprisingly good FM reception (compared to my last player anyway). There is one huge problem with it though; it does not remember where in a file you were when you shut it off. This is a big problem for listening to podcasts. If I shut the player off 30 minutes into a 1 hour show, I need to fast-forward the show to get back to where I left off when I turn it back on. This is a glaring oversight, even for 2-minute music files. Hopefully they'll fix this in a firmware update sometime soon. VERY RELIABLE, SLEEK WORTH EVERY CENT...
As I type this review, I am currently listening to my nifty new Philips SA178 Solid State 512 Mb Rechargeable, and can't stop bragging to my friends about how great this MP3 player has turned out to be. The best feature, by far, has to be the rechargeable capability, which allows for you not to worry about having to replace the battery every 2 days...I just plug into my computer, organize my music, and I go! Perfect for the marathon I trained for! As soon as Philips makes one with a larger capacity, I'm upgrading immediately. Do not buy this MP3 player.
I bought this mp3 player just after Christmas. It worked great at first but slowly the battery started to fail. Eventually, it would not hold a charge at all, I would let it charge all night and it would only run for about 15 seconds before powering down. Pretty nice - not so good for voice recording
I picked this up at Costco, even though I hadn't seen anyone mention it as good for voice recording, because I *love* Costco's return policy. No hassle pretty much no matter *when* you bring it back. It was $80. I found it pretty easy to use right out of the box but it did require reading the manual to figure some things out. Still, not too hard. awesome gadget
it has got one of the cleanest sounds with the PHILIPS ear phones it comes with. it is very convenient with the built in usb drive. since your battery is being charged every time you plug it in to the usb, your mp3 player is always ready to go. Great Little player
This is a really great player. I've only had it a week but I love it. There is no fast forward button but like most devices like this if you hold the foward key down it will fast forward or rewind. Very nice player!
This little machine is great! Low price and so far seems like quality product. I havent had it that long so I wouldnt know. I think really the only thing I do not like about it is that when you pause a song it will turn itself off in about a minute. Kind of annoying if you are trying to talk to someone so you pause it then you have to restart it and filter through to the last song you had going. Other than that when I first listened to it I had thought the headphones were a little cheap. The reason is because the default EQ settings have everything off, so I switched to Custom mode and WOW what a difference! The sound quality was amazing crystal clear. For your money pick this MP3 player up as you will be glad you did. its sooooo cool
hi i am 19 and i got this mp3 a gift from the us and its really cool and its soo good and you can record any thing on the radio music and many on the radio to record so this is the #1 player best choice Love the features
Having an USB recharge is wonderful - no batteries to replace regularly. Can easily switch modes, and it will remember reliably what your last setting was for. You will love this little gem and 512 mb is more music that you really need to carry around. very very sturdy
I forgot to take this player out of my pants pocket before it went through the wash. I was crushed when I pulled it out of the washing machine. I let it dry out and plugged it into my computer to recharge. I surprised when it began to charge and I could see my files on the screen. I was delighted when an hour later it booted up and played my songs! Do not buy this MP3 player
I bought this mp3 player just after Christmas. It worked great at first but slowly the battery started to fail. Eventually, it would not hold a charge at all, I would let it charge all night and it would only run for about 15 seconds before powering down. Good for the money
This is a great little device, for its price point. And the built-in FM is addictive; I wouldn't buy a player without FM, now that I've tried it. mp3 player for people with tiny fingers, huge ears and a lot of patience
I have bought this MP3 player a month ago and I have been using it daily while driving to work, Go Gear
Go Gear has a great sound and is user friendly. The USB direct loading makes this an easy to use MP3 player. No Playlist
I bought this player (Actually the SA178/07) for my wife. It is small, and the FM tuner is a real plus. But the only way to create a play list is to rename the mp3 files so the order you want them to play is how they list in alphanumerical order. This is a real drag. We'll probably take it back. We're using Windows Media Player 9, not 10. Awesome !!!
This is the best MP3 ever! My parents bought it for me for a XMAS gift and I only have had to charge it once since 2005 christmas! Tough, great sound, cool lighted screen, awesome voice recorder, (Good for comedy) awesome radio, what's not in this awesome little MP3? I'm 11 and responsible as an 11, so what's surprising is there's no scratches whatsoever on this MP3! I know, amazing. Buy it and you won't regret it, I promise! Don't buy this product
I bought 4 units of this product as Christmas gifts for myself, my wife and teenage kids. Three of them died within the first two months of very light use. I was successful in returning two of the units for a full refund, however, I'm stuck with one dead unit, and waiting for the fourth to die any day now. I got replacement iPod shuffles for the kids. The iPods have performed flawlessly for a number of months. Great Gift
I recently purchased this mp3 player for my brother for Christmas. He really enjoys it...at ten years old anyways. I personally have an ipod, and love it. This, on the plus side has a sleek and very cool design, and can hold a reasonable amount of songs for him, in addition to being priced resonably. I found it irksome in some aspects though. I.e., it has no click wheel or anything resembling one. It gets annoying to keep pushing the next button; but the good outweighs the bad, OVERALL: a good buy i would say Powered, in part, by Yahoo!
