Philips GoGear SA5245 w/ Bluetooth (4GB)

The GoGear SA5245BT is one of Philips' best-executed MP3 players in the past year, offering an attractive design along with advanced features such as Bluetooth wireless audio and Rhapsody subscription music DNA. There's nothing revolutionary about the...

The Philips GoGear SA5245BT MP3 player includes music, video, and photo playback, FM radio, voice recording, Rhapsody subscription music support, above-average earbuds, and wireless stereo Bluetooth audio

The Philips GoGear SA5245BT isn't flashy or slim, and it's not the most affordable player in town. Videos require conversion before syncing, and audio enhancement features are few

If you're looking for a Bluetooth-compatible MP3 player or you want to make the most of your Rhapsody music subscription, the Philips GoGear SA5245BT offers a well-rounded set of features at an attractive price.

Works with OS X as USB Storage Device

Although I'm a rabid Mac fanboy and own several iPods, I have grown weary of waiting for Apple to implement onboard support for the Bluetooth A2DP profile to support wireless stereo headphones. I ordered this MP3 player explicitly because it supports...

Great! All in one player

After using it for a little while, I found that it is really having all kinds of functions more than I needed. And it is great for value really.
