I got this item for my birthday this year and noticed straight off just how easy it was to use! I was abit dubious at first, but It came with all the right tools to get me started, such as a Cd and manual. I found it easy to transfer my music/videos onto this mp3 player, all i had to do was put a Cd into my computers DVD or re-writeable drive or even drag and drop the appropriate files onto the device.
I'd say that anyone from 9 years and way into adult hood could get to grips with this device. It's sleek, light weight, durable, got a good interface and graphics.
I've taken this on holiday with me and used it whilest exercising. I used it 2 hours every day whilest exercising and it took about 3 days for the battery to go down to a quarter full, which i think is pretty good. Although if you are using this for the first time you'll need to charge it up for quite a while to get the full usage out of the battery.
I'd definately say this item is worth the money you pay and good for some one who is wanting to purchase their first mp3 player. The only things i would say about this item are it doesn't resume from the last song when you turn it off, although i have found if you pause the player first and then turn it off once you come back to turning it on again it will resume from the beginning of the last song you were listening to. And lastly it could use a clip on the back so you can secure it to your clothes. This would really help when doing exercise, but i have found that for less strenuous activities you can just slip it into a pocket.
Basicly in my experience an all round great device and nice looking to.
Advantages: Light Weight, Looks Cool. Disadvantages: Slow to find songs. Size of the screen to view the pictures and video clips.
...few months into having the Philips mp3 player I noticed it wasn't that good. And these are the reasons why: Hard to find your song that you want to listen to due to the slow display of eace song. The pictures are not clear because of the small display, and the resolution the screen is bad. Having said that the price you pay is what you get. If you are looking for a cheap mp3 player which can store: Music, Videos and Pictures then this product is ... ...connect it up to your computer easily and can transfer your pictures and music to the mp3 player with stress free. Plus the battery is good aswell. If you want to have a mp3 player that can store music pictures and videos on you may aswell go for an Ipod or something more expensive to get the quality you want.
The price I payed was £30. ...
