WAY UNDERRATED
I'll start by saying that I've owned this Mp3 player for a little over a year. Because of some of the scarier doom and gloom reviews I have been reluctant to post a review... I didn't want to jinx my good luck, and I also wanted to make sure I had enough time to find all the little quirks and/or issues that could arise... but now I'm ready...
after all this time I still find myself occasionally in awe of what a sleek, and sexy machine this is... the blue glow of the touch screen contr...

The problem's not with the player
I wish I'd given as much thought to purchasing this mp3 player as I give to professional system evaluations. But the experience has been instructive, since it reflects what often happens with new, complex toys.
I chose the Philips player because (1) it's not an iPod, (2) it's made for use with Windows, and (3) it has lots of storage. Why no iPod? Don't like proprietary systems (as if Windows wasn't proprietary). Why Windows? All my stuff is Windows. Why lots of storage? I have a goodl...

Expires with Battery
The Philips HDD line looks sleek and has some cool features, but all of that is wasted when you find out that the battery was factory installed and must be replaced by the factory at a cost of $143.73. Their customer service is neither apologetic or concerned about the cost or retaining a customer.
My advise is to avoid the Philips HDD line like the plague!

Stay Away, FAR AWAY!
I bought 2 of these (for my wife and I) because they were $100 off at a local store. At first when I was only putting 10-20 albums on them they seemed to work just fine. Then I started ripping all of my albums and trying to add them as well as some pictures that I was trying to put on, and everything broke down.
Where to begin...I spend days trying to fix these things, reading about them, trying to auto sync, manual sync, reset, anything I found posted by anyone to get them working ...

Philips HDD6330 Jukebox a Great Buy!
I think many of the negative reviews of this product are exaggerated. Here is what I've experienced with my Philips 30GB player: 1)Customer service is friendly and they go out of their way to help you with your questions. However, some people don't bother reading directions and they end up damaging the player or doing things incorrectly. 2) The battery life will only give you the max if you know how to charge a battery. If you don't do it right then you will not get the max time out of your bat...

I wanted this =(
Man, I asked for this for Christmas, but alas my wishes were not fullfilled. All I got was the crappy Samsung 4gb P.O.S and couple Tshirts with a Mcdonalds gift card. I can't even buy an efffing value meal. This looks soo cool, its all black and shiny.

Upset to Boot
I purchased this HDD6330/17 only to discover that it will freeze. I got it replaced but the second one froze, too. I got a refund. I called the technical support of Philips and visited their website to learn why. I had to go through many links before coming across the one that would answer my question. What was said under the tech support did not match what had happened. It was suppose to just unfreeze and not erase the music following the steps, but it erased all of the 386 songs that I h...

Buggy Firmware, Slow, Lousy Headphones. I got burned.
For my first mp3 player, I wanted to avoid the iPod, because I wanted to avoid using iTunes. I got this player for Christmas 2005.
I liked it because:
(1) it worked with Windows Media Player
(2) the large 30GB capacity
(3) the slick look.
(4) it displays pics
(5) it supports album art
(6) it has a radio and voice recorder
(7) the handsome up/down scrolling method
(8) support for protected .wma files
(9) upload songs from any PC

Works great for me
Don't know what is wrong with the other users, but I have Yahoo unlimited and this works fine with my subscription music. As other reviews on the net show, it transfers fast, and using WMP as the engine, it tracks what is on the device already so it makes it easy for me to drag tracks to it and load it up.
Then, I create playlists in WMP10 and just transfer the playlists thru it since Yahoo does not have the ability to transfer playlist to this device yet.
I also loaded th...

Pretty nice
I haven't had any problems with things disappearing or anything like that. It has frozen probably 3 times in the 4 months I've had it. I set it down for a few hours, let the battery run out, and charged it back up. Everything was still there--no problems (it's possible I have a bad mp3 on there). The only issue I'm having with it isn't the mp3 player--it's me being a Linux-noob (trying to figure out how to mount it so it can copy and paste like an external hard drive). The slide is really ...
