junk

 

This MP3 player is a piece of junk. Don't buy it. I have had nothing but problems with it & you will have to spend more money on it for items that need repair. This thing is worthless. I will now have to buy an ipod. So, I wasted what I paid for the MP3.

Loving It

 

I purchased this player in anticipation of a long flight, and so far, I've loved it. It sounds good and has several different equalization settings (including custom), and even the included earbuds are of decent quality and fairly comfortable. The...

Great Value for the Price

 

My wife and I both own an 8 GB Phillips MP3 player and we're very pleased with it. The feel of the unit is solid. Transferring songs to the player through Windows Media Player was a breeze. The online manual is very clear. All the software loaded...
