This mp3 player offers you great MP3 and WMA playback, at a relatively cheap price. You also get reception from roughly 20 different radio stations and you can watch video clips (in 220 x 176 pixels) as long as they are the correct format. The 1.8" colour screen gives you great photo viewing and easy navigation with the icons having ...  Read the complete review

I'm not a keen fan of inventive technology however simple it appears to be, and so went looking for an MP3 download player in Argos. I was amazed at just how expensive these little wizard gadgets can be (the more select brands) even though many do have video features and other complimentary tools I wouldn't have a clue where to start ...  Read the complete review

I got this product for my dad at xmas and have been trying to organise some playlists on it. Just worked out how to do it.When you go to the music folder where all your tunes are, organise them into different folders and name them seperately. Organise the folders like playlists. When you turn on the device go to folder view on the main menu and you'll find all your organised folders and listen to them like you would a playlist. Best I could do.Hope this helps someone.

Very disappointing as I was looking forward to using it, mainly for radio and MP3 files. Transferring files was easy but I could find no way to create playlists - note plural - as indicated on the menu.I contact Philips support. Can I copy existing playlists across? No. Can I create a playlist offline and copy it across? No. Can I create more thatn one playlist on the player itself? No.After what felt like pulling teeth, I finally got the answer that it does not support multiple playlists. How bizarre is that? Why would anyone want a single playlist??So major disappointment but the retail store was good enough to take it back...;-)Pity 'cos I liked it in other respects.

Totally unsuitable for me as the output is unsufficient for car stereos or other external devices. When used with max volume for those - sound quality is distorted, especially on bass range which is limited on the low range too.Loaded with good functions but the basics not done well. Maybe this all is caused by the hearing protection claims.Startup is rather slow too. Like starting a Windows OS. Charging with USB cord only. No independent charger included ie. needs available PC to keep it powered up.Video clips can be played in one format only - conversion from one format only. Video quality acceptable with obvious size limitations.Sorry. Was a very bad deal for me.
