Philips GoGear Jukebox HDD6320 30GB

Advantages: Fast load up, excellent battery life, good sound quality.
Disadvantages: Fingerprints show on touch pad, can crash, XP only, basic manual.

...So I went to the Philips website, which helped me out tremendously and I found out all you have to do is push the on/off button to the off position while pressing + on the volume control (Easy). When the player crashes, you do not lose any music files/or settings, its just a case of resetting the unit, so you can play it again. It has crashed twice in the four months I have owned it. The Philips website is generally helpful, though I don't have ...
...find what you need on there. I do not have a problem using this player, however it is only compatible with microsoft XP. The player synchronizes with windows media player, though I have experienced problems with this media player in the past, I have not done so since owning the Philips. Unfortunate accidents with the unit have occured, like my girlfriend spilling her drink (accidently, she says) and it has also been dropped (a few times) and works ...

Not quite what i'd expected of Phillips.

Advantages: incredible sound quality, high volume, adjustable EQ, and sexy looks
Disadvantages: Poor interface, Touchscreen does not function correctly, poor PC coordination and poor support

...very good. This is something Philips are renowned for - and something which throughly shines through with this HDD. The highs are crisp, and the bass notes are well defined - not a blur like with some other players. This quality is accentuated by the bundled headphones, which are well padded in-ear style, and are very high quality - something which would be expected of headphones somewhere in the £30 region (which is alot for in-ear phones). The ...
...i personally think it is let down by the touch-sensitive scrollbar, as pretty as it may look. I think that it takes far too much getting used to - and that with an MP3 plyaer costing almost 200 pounds it should be something which is immediately adaptable to, and can be used straight out of the box. The Other buttons on the player are the same type of touch-sensitivity - which becomes irritating after a time, especially in high temperatures where ...

Not fit for purpose

Advantages: looks nice
Disadvantages: just doesn't work

...with - this effort from Philips bears no comparison to the Apple i-Pod whatsoever. Most people will find themselves looking at this player as an alternative but to honest this is not worth bothering with. I first bought this after my 30 gig 4th gen i-Pod died and I felt that Apple was not going to get any more of my money. I purchased this from Amazon as it was discounted by nearly £100 so I thought "How bad could it be?" right? Wrong. This product ...
...fixed at some point if Philips bring out yet another firmware update. What cannot be fixed is the basic functionality of this MP3 player. Remember that cool looking buttonless facia? The one that lights up when you run a finger over it? Yeah, that one; the one now covered in unsightly finger marks. Try putting it into the cool looking neoprene slipcase that Philips provide and put it into your pocket and try listening to music. I am assuming that ...

Just buy an iPod

Advantages: Nicely designed mp3 player
Disadvantages: Poor documentation, uses Windows Media Player, doesn't work for me

...will be referring to the Philips mp3 player throughout this review as "PMMP", an acronym for "Poor Man's Mp3 Player". After my Creative Zen Touch failed on me, I was looking for a new mp3 player and came across a deal for a refurbished version of the PMMP. I'd read one or two initial bad reviews and wasn't incredibly enthusiastic about the prospect of transferring files using Windows Media Player, but was swayed by the cheap price and the thought ...
...isn't enough. The decision from Philips to provide most of their documentation on the cd provided is, in my opinion, a very poor one. When installing the software and going through the set-up process for the PMMP, it is a necessity to have the relevant documentation in front of you and physically accessible. The experience of scrabbling through pdf files when I'm having software/hardware difficulties, just doesn't, to use the parlance, "float my ...

Philips Gogear 30gb HDD6320/05

Advantages: Lightwieght, great Battery life, quality sound, supersize music and picture storage
Disadvantages: easily scratched, no reset button

This is a great MP3 player. lets not joke around here pound for pound against an ipod this is 100% better value for money. I have to be honest and say I will not go into real detail on features here other reviews might be a little more helpful there. What I will say is that this item is simple straightforward to use and has a groovy touch sensitive face and some nice sound enhancment options. On the downside though the screen is very easily marked ...
...and the touch sensitive operation on the device is not affected. It Sounds great, stores more music and pictures than you could ever put on it and works well. The only really bad experience I had with this device was when it was downloading music from my pc, the PC crashed causing the MP3 player to do the same thing. It would not respond untill the battery had run out as I could not turn it off or reset it. When I recharged it, all of the existing ...

Ignore the "iPod" Review

Advantages: Actual Mp3 music in MASS Quantities, Cool/Smooth Controls
Disadvantages: Maybe 1cm thicker than most players, but its 30 Gigabytes!

Nice interface, very elegant controls, looks great, sounds great, holds TONS of music and pictures! An all-around awesome player! I even recorded some nice Arabic news and music while in Iraq! Crystal clear AM/FM radio reception, one thing not mentioned here. Use it for dictating notes (stores into .wav files) and easy to manipulate. Also, RAW MP3 FILES!!! No messing around with download Apple services! THAT was worth it all, right there. ACTUAL ...

Stylish, easy to use and great sounding

Advantages: looks fantastic, esy to use and great sound
Disadvantages: a little on the large size, gets mucky easily

This is an ultra stylish MP3 player, in my view the best looking one available today. Its perfect black finish makes it look stunning and the buttons light up as you move your finger over them, when i first got it i spent hours just moving my finger over the scroll bar watching the purple light come and go. As for the actual MP3 part of the player it is extreamelly easy to use, literally plug into your computer and open up a medi player, any media ...
...computer to player. Its major advantage is that you can use any type of file including WMA and MP3. Another significant advantage is the sound quality, which is superb, it has been votted the best sounding MP3 player by multiple other review sites, you also get high quality headphones (cost about £50 in shops) included with the player. The downsides of it are that although the black finish is very cool it does get mucky very easily because your ...

Philips HDD1635

Advantages: small, holds a ton of music
Disadvantages: just does not work as advertised

I have a Philips HDD1635, it is a total peice of SHIT! I will NEVER buy another product from them. Plays for sure........that is why I bought it, I thought I could easily download all my music from media player to it. How wrong was I? Error messages that solutions could not be found, calling their help desk was a joke. I have finished a pc repair course and am very computer savvy. This product plain and simple does NOT work as they claim. It is total ...
...songs, if you can transfer them on to it. It is very small and the controls are nice but a little to sensitive for my taste. I would never recommend this product to anyone. My wife has an Ipod Nano and uses ITunes, never had a problem with it. ...

Philips HDD6320 30gb MP3

Advantages: easy to use
Disadvantages: battery life is VERY limited

...USA for $50 each. Philips wont sell replacement batteries and will only replace the batteries themselves at a service centre.... at what expense??? While they were working they were great but the service stinks. Batteries should last more than twelve months.... my children are very upset that their MP3 players no longer play I would not recommend them to anyone. If you do buy them take out the extended warranty. They must be timed to die just after ...

philips hdd6320 - sexy!

Advantages: looks fantastic, great sound quality
Disadvantages: a bit big, ear phones keep falling out

this thing looks so cool! it has a flat, polished black touch-sensitive with blue backlight! run your finger up and down the 'sensory touchpad SuperScroll' the blue light follows your movement - it looks like Tron! its really easy to use, but i have a tendency to tap the centre of the scrollpad when trying to select - which does nothing! the select button is the arrow to the right of the scrollpad - not problem really! the sound quality is really ...
...out (might have wierd shaped ears!) its a little fat, but thats not really a problem - the flat black screen on the silver back gives the illusion thats its smaller! overall im quite impressed by this player, but ive only had it a few days. it looks good, it sounds good - no complaints here!!! ...

Good but large

Advantages: Great Sound quality
Disadvantages: size

When I first bought this Philips MP3 Player I was amazed at how big it was, I was thinking it would be a bit smaller than this> But I saw past this and I found that this MP3 Player is very easy to use. I also noticed that Philips had changed the headphones because in previous models the headphone were rubish and would not stay in your ear. The display on the screen is very good and clear. This is highly recommendable to anyone. I also find the battery ...
...then to Apple Ipods. Although one minor concern is that it does freeze every now and then but it isn't the end of the world because it can be easily restarted. When putting music on the device I found that it not super fast and its not slow so I would say that its in between Over than that the MP3 Player is really good and it should be bought because it really is good and it looks nice aswell. ...
