Philips GoGear HDD1620 6 GB

This MP3 layer is an insult to all other mp3 players out there which actually work. The thing constantly freezes up on you (upon which you have to restart it by pressing the volume up and power key together). When it freezes the thing will keep playing through the playlist, wasting your power but refuses to take any kind of instruction from you, the owner. The picture slideshow function sounds nifty, if only I could get it to work. This thing has a wonderful knack to stay away from logic and ease of use, everything you do with it must be an adventure in of itself! For 6 gigs you get a good number of songs, and the windows media player ...  Read the complete review

This mp3 player is great!! There I said it, diving head first into a statement that leads you thinking, prove it!! I can't prove it, but I can tell you a little why I think it is great!! 1st off, it looks great, going through any mp3 player section, this one stands out, shiny with blue on it!!

I am surprised by some of the bad reviews on this product, as I purchased it and had hardly any problems with it whatsoever.

The main display colour and brightness can also be changed to suit whatever mood you are in. The fact that the touchpads light up make the player attractive and it can ...  Read the complete review

On the contrary to the Philips HDD1620 6.1G player. My HDD1630 6G player turned out to be a black brick with ear buds. With a fresh install of Windows XP professional and updated WM10, not recognized by media player or firmware manager. I was able to download a patch from Philips and get my PC to regognize it as a USB device but that's it. Not accessable through anything after two days straight. I called Philips and it's on it's way back for replacement. I am in hopes that it is defective and a new one will work out as great as the reviewed ...  Read the complete review
