Amazon.com Product Description
Designed for active music listeners who work and play hard, the Philips PSA232 MP3 player stores up to 128 MP3s or 256 WMA files in a round and robust body that holds up to heavy use. The player's controls are built on a "no-look" rocking lens, which provides discreet and easy access to multiple functions without disrupting your workouts. Simply tap on the guiding points of the rocking lens--all of which are marked with a small bump for convenience--to play songs, skip, adjust the volume, and perform a host of other tasks, all without glancing at the player. It's great for jogging, snowshoeing, stair stepping, and any other on-the-go activity.
Songs are stored on the player's 512 MB of built-in memory, which is teamed with a mini Secure Digital (SD) card slot for expandability. By itself, the player holds around 15 hours of music, but thanks to the memory card slot, the MP3 player's capacity is restricted only by the number of SD cards you own. Another nice bonus is the ID3 tag support, which reads the album title, artist name, and track title from encoded MP3s and transfers them to the backlit 96 x 64 LCD display.
The PSA232 is no slouch from an audio perspective, either. The unit's digital bass boost pumps up the low-frequency response for a fuller overall sound, while the multiple equalizer settings (R&B, rock, hip-hop, classic, and jazz) deliver several listening options based on genre or personal taste. Should you tire of MP3s and want to catch a favorite music or news show, turn to the FM tuner, which not only picks up the entire FM spectrum (87.5 to 108 MHz) but also includes 10 station presets for easy channel surfing.
And no sport MP3 player is complete with a built-in stopwatch. This particularly model includes a talking stopwatch, which relays elapsed running time through the headphones. No need to look at the display, or even turn off the music for that matter. To activate the stopwatch, simply press the strategically positioned button on the top left of the player. It's that simple.
The device is compatible with PCs running Windows XP and includes a copy of Windows Media Player 10. It also requires a free USB port, Internet Explorer 6.0 or higher, and a sound card to function properly. And at 2.5 by 1.04 by 2.5 inches (W x H x D), it takes up only a tiny amount of space. The unit comes with a single AAA battery and a USB cable and is backed by a one-year warranty.

Customer Reviews:
It has its problems, but its great for the gym.......2007-11-06
Pros:
Great design for the gym
Good radio reception
Built-in stopwatch
Very inexpensive
Cons:
Bad battery life
Only compatible for sync with WMP 10 (not the newest)
Very difficult to add a play list
Overall, I like it just because of the great design and ease of use while exercising. This MP3 player is the reason why I started using rechargeable batteries.
Hmmmm...I wish I would have held out .......2007-08-12
I am like one of the other reviewers. I wanted to like this mp3 player but it is so terrible. I wish I would have held out for the Sony or Ipod. I bought this because it was on the cheaper side and I thought Philips would have been a good brand to have.It works sometimes and this is the longest it has been that it hasn't worked at all. The radio worked but I can't play any of the files I have on it. It is by no means user friendly. The instruction manual is not helpful at all. Anyway, I know I have gotten long winded but I would definitely recommend that you not buy this device.
OK if you find it cheap........2007-06-22
Pros:
I like the talking stopwatch.
Sound quality is OK, I like the EQ & Bass level options.
Headphones stay in place.
Pretty durable. I've had mine over a year, it's been dropped lots and still works.(see arm bracket mounting issues below.)
But, Oh, the CONS:
Battery life is HORRIBLE. I'm lucky if I get two workouts per battery.
They need to use more than one AAA battery for this thing.
Never could get the mini-SD card to work. Won't play songs from it even IF I get lucky and can even get songs on the card in the first place. My card works fine on other devices.
Customer service could not fix the card issues & seemed clueless about them. To their credit, they did answer the phone & try hard.
Hard to use w/ the arm bracket. It's OK once it's in there, but you have to remove the headphones to mount it. Plus it's tricky to get it seated right & I've dropped mine lots in the process. I usually accidentally push buttons when mounting & turn it off/on when I don't want to.
Hard to see the display outside.
Buen producto.......2007-02-08
Asi es, la verdad me ha salido buenisimo, la bateria dura lo que debe de durar, aprox unas 8 horas....
Vino en buenas condiciones y es pequeño, cabe en la mano....
Lo recomiendo para corredores de media maraton, acaso piensan gastar 1GB de música en todo el recorrido? lo dudo!
Not bad for what it is.......2006-11-19
This Mp3 Player does have alot of problems but those can be fixed.
1. The battery life does suck but after you buy yourself one of those 15 minute rapid chargers that really is not a problem anymore.
2. It sometimes does not let you play your music. After this happen to me i went out and bought a ipod which i did not like and took back. When this mp3 player frezzes on you all you have to do is use the Phillips Device Manager after you hook it up to your computer it takes only a minute to repair it but when it does repair it erases all of your songs that were on the player.
I paid 30 dollars for it and it has lasted me since April 2006. Another plus about it is that it is very sturdy i dropped it tons of times and it still works.

How many portable radios are
really suitable for use in the real outdoors, or indoors during a power failure. Sangean MMR-77 is a compact AM/FM radio that is just great for camping or emergency use. The MMR-77 is water resistant, has an illumination lamp plus an emergency buzzer. It is dynamo powered, meaning you can wind it for about a minute to enjoy up to 30 minutes of radio listening. This winding generates power that recharges the internal 2.4V 700 mAH NiMH battery. If you want to use this as a regular radio, it can operate on two optional AA batteries or optional AC adapter (not included). There's a built-in speaker and a jack for adding an optional earphone.

Customer Reviews:
Sangean MMR-77 Emergency AM-FM Portable Radio.......2007-07-31
I bought 2 of these in July 2006. We listen to morning and evening news and some talk show programs in the evening. After about 6-8 months, the on/off, turn on/volume knob failed to work correctly. With barely a turn, it's blaringly loud - it's almost impossible to get it at EXACTLY the right spot where it will stay in the range where we can hear it. It ends up being too low or too loud.
Best Emergency Radio Out There Period................2007-07-08
I was looking at several emergency radios from eton, gundig, and sony, and did mucho research. This one blows them all away.
The quality, fit, finish, and performance of this radio is top notch. The reception is excellent. It works off the crank, alkalines, or a/c adapter(not included).
This radio makes the eton/grundig emergency radios look like toys. No regrets at all! Highly recommended, don't waste time with other emergency radios. I did not need a cellphone charger.
Everyready makes an emergency battery pack for about 20.00 bucks no cranking and works great. Buy one of these instead. We lost all cell towers on the last hurricane anyway. Don't bet your life on a cell phone, the towers may be down or overloaded.
I live in Hurricane country Florida and needed a real emergency radio not a toy, this is it. I thought I wanted a NOAA band but AM is the official emergency frequency. I found NOAA to be slow and over-rated.
Love the radio, use it daily, buy it. Nuf' said.
Dynamo Power Disappointing.......2007-06-10
This sounded like such a great idea, and the first time I cranked up the dynamo (for about 6 minutes) the charge lasted for many hours. After the initial charge I haven't been able to run it on dynamo power for more than a couple of minutes before it runs down, no matter how much "cranking". Nice radio, good sound and reception, but I paid the extra money for the recharge capability.
portable radio.......2007-05-12
The radio is small enough to carry in a pack. No problem with signal due to the fact that there are several radio stations near. The radio seems to be sturdy enough for some abuse. The crank was very easy to use and it held its battery strength for a lengthy period of time.
Great Radio ... Great Price.......2007-04-14
This radio is great. I cranked it for two minutes (just to test it) and it played for over 3 hours during our power outage. Great performance. It gets great reception in every room of our house. Definitely an excellent purchase.
