Two Major Flaws
I bought this product a week ago and am returning it asap, and I rarely return things, as I can usually find a way to work around things. I am a previous owner of an iPod Nano, and that may be coloring my criticisms, so take this as some disclosure.
First, I found that random shuffle isn't really random. On the iPod I had, when I requested a random shuffle, it would actually shuffle the music and I could not detect any patterns in music sequence between any two shuffles. Not so wit...

I Wanted This To Work.....
I don't normally right reviews but felt it was my duty to do so with this product. I purchased this product at Wal-Mart. My initial impression was that it was a slick and stylish player. Very small, compact, thin... So far so good.
The problem comes when you actually try to use it. Not user friendly at all. It's very easy to add music files to the player, however, it is very difficult to play them as expected. YOU CAN'T MAKE A PLAYLIST!!!! I am used to adding tons of music to a...

For the price, amazingly good.
I am VERY happy with the product. PERFECT for LINUX. I have found this device amazingly good for the price, for sound, audio, pics, text and more. I am using with Linux (Ubuntu) and it is totally compatible with and usable in Linux. I also used this product and its SW in Windows, but like most things, it is faster in Linux. Even conversion of videos to SMV format is easy with the enclosed SW for Windows, OR the superior smv_encode for Linux which is available online. Might not be as perfect...

A great purchase
We bought this for our 11 year old son for Christmas. He and my husband both get a lot of use out of it. It holds a lot of music and holds videos and movies. The sound and picture are very clear. It's also very light and compact. I definitely recommend this product!

Another unsatified customer
Let me start with saying that although the players were a big disappointment I have to admit the sound quality was good when they would play. I initially bought this player from Walmart without doing any research (big mistake), Walmart had it for $59 + tax for a total of just over $63. At first I was not able to play with it much so by the time i sat down and really started using it I found that it had some glitches like the thing would lock up and have to be reset, there were alot of times wh...

Playlist feature bummer
I agree w/ the second reviewer.... WHY have a menu item playlists (notice the plural) & not let you make any playlists, my phone is a better mp3 player in those respects, I should not have wasted my money, I stupidly thought a machine dedicated to only one purpose would have more music playing features -not less :<

I'm very pleased.
I don't know why everyone is bashing this player. If you ask me, it's a great player. For a 4 GB player, you can't beat the price. I bought mine for $75 from Wal Mart and I see them on here much cheaper.
I'll start with the playlist. I really don't see the issue here. Plug the player into a USB port, open it up, open the playlist folder and create a new folder and put your songs in it. Not difficult at all.
Pictures - The picture viewer is alright, though I think it only ac...

Great Sound
It is a great product for the price and the quality.
Sound is much better than the iPod I had before.

Great Little Player for the Price
This is a great little no frills player for a great price. The reviewers are correct about the video and the playlist issues, but if all you want is a great little music player, it's just fine.
The sound is great thanks for Philips patented FullSound technology.....basically it's supposed to scan the file and add missing elements back (or compensate for) to the losses with any compressed file. I have to say, it sounds quite nice.
Loading the player is easy using Windows Exp...

Junk
Think constantly froze during regular use. Had to carry a sharp object to repeatedly reset the thing. Finally completely crapped out after 3 months. Bought a zune and couldn't be happier now. This is the last Philips product I'll ever purchase. Not even worth the $50 they sell for now.
