"freakin piece"
Pros: compact size, 40 dollar price tag
Cons: comes with no software. windows media player n realplayer won't get it to sync properly
Summary: what a freakin nightmare. if you don't listen to music but love audiobooks this worthless piece will having you crying in the fetal position in no time. since it comes with no software you have to use 3rd party software like windows media player n realplayer. a lot of times when you drag and drop files to sync it renames them in some bewildering, inexplicable way. you can even go through and rename all files 01, 02, 03 and it still won't line them up right. so you're trying to listen to your audiobook and the files are all out of order. a lot of books are basically rendered unlistenable on this thing based on this. i'm seriously consdering taking a step backwards and just buying an MP3 cd player since it takes about 5 seconds to get the files to line up correctly on that and burn it out. Either that or I am going to have to see if the IPOD/ITUNES combo actually let you, as a last resort, name and sort files manually instead of, like windows media player n realplayer, be like "Ah nope, i've decided that your files go in this order and if you don't like it YOU CAN JUST GO EAT SH*T!!!!!!!" F*cking Piece of sh*t, MP3 player. You'd think for the money in this market, philips could have spent $20 to pay some computer science college freshman to write a visual basic app that would have let you sync your files to their piece of sh*t device any way you wanted. Don't buy this thing. It's not worth a nickel
