FullSound to bring CD listening experience to MP3
Philips' innovative FullSound technology faithfully restores sonic details to compressed MP3 music, dramatically enriching and enhancing it, so you can experience CD music without any distortion. Based on an audio post-processing algorithm, FullSound combines Philips' renowned expertise in music reproduction with the power of the latest generation Digital Signal Processor (DSP). The result is fuller bass with more depth and impact, boosted voice and instrument clarity, and rich detail. Rediscover your compressed MP3 music in true-to-life sound that will touch your soul and move your feet.

MP3 and WMA playback
Audio compression technology allows large digital music files to be reduced up to 10 times in size without radically degrading their audio quality. MP3 or WMA are two of the compression formats that let you enjoy a world of digital music on your GoGear player. Download MP3 or WMA songs from authorized music sites on the Internet or create your own MP3 or WMA music files by ripping your audio CDs and transferring them onto your player.

Voice recording to take notes or record anything, anytime
Voice recording converts your GoGear player into a handy dictation machine. Besides playing music or listening to radio, you can also record notes or reminders for work or school, record shopping lists and phone numbers – even song lyrics. By pressing the recording button and speaking into the built-in microphone, voice messages are compressed and stored in the built-in internal memory. Voice recording gives you a highly portable voice recorder allowing you to record anything, anytime and anywhere.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good product, July 12, 2009

By	S. Lemke (Milwaukee, WI) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I've using it for several months now when I work out. I'm very pleased with it. My wife also has a Phillips MP3 player, different style. I like mine better because it has a lanyard and just pushing the sides of the screen is easier than the smaller control buttons she has on hers. They both sound good.

I noticed lately I have purchased a lot of Phillips products, a small stereo, two matching 47' LCD TV's, and wired headphones for the TVs. I have been pleased with all of the products.

4.0 out of 5 stars the cutest little thing, November 29, 2009

By	dale on the bayou - See all my reviews

the battery life is impressive.

i wish it would go faster scrolling up and down songs.

seems to have better-than-average FM reception.

i have long since replaced the earbuds with passively noise-reducing ones, and those work better than the earbuds that came with it. (caveat: i don't like that many earbuds anyway; the cheap noise-reducing ones that i get are my favorites.)

from time to time, it makes scratching sounds between songs (it loads more slowly, perhaps?) but lasts only for a moment, so that's not terribly annoying.

3.0 out of 5 stars So far, so good..., September 23, 2009

Had these for about a month.

Pros:
- It's small: 1-3/4" square.

Cons:
- The Fast-forward/reverse buttons. I use it for language learning so I like to rewind frequently. If you hold the button down, it starts out slow, which is good. But, after a few seconds, it starts to speed up. A few seconds more... WHAM! It's too far back. !@#$*! Now I gotta go forward or accept it where it is. Wasted time. Frustrating.

Sounds: The earphones are your basic stuff. If you press them into your ears you get better sounds. I had Sennheisers noise cancellations headphones in the past. They worked great, so I ordered them again as replacements.
