This is a great alternative for an iPod........2007-08-06
I'm the sort of person that doesn't really want to blend in with the crowd, but I still want a high capacity mp3 player. I also don't have a lot of money to spare. This mp3 player fulfilled every wish. At 30 GB, it could last for years w/o being filled, at least it you're young like me and haven't been exposed to that much music yet. It also is very sleek and lightweight. I got it on another website and it came w/ a case. I haven't really used it because it's so small; it just fits in my pocket. It's also really fun to use. If I'm bored, I can just watch the music go through like a dial. I love the touch screen. Some people complain about the fingerprint smudges, but if you hold it the right way, you can't see them. The only complaint I have is the pictures are difficult to put on it, but I haven't put a lot of effort into figuring it out. I can't tell if it's the mp3 players fault or my computer's. The sound quality could be better, but there is a custom choice, so you can make it better. It's also really durable. I've dropped it numerous times, and there is only 1 scratch on it. So, in conclusion:
PROS:
sleek design
durable
small and lightweight
high capacity
fun and easy to use
CONS:
maybe difficult to install pictures
less that perfect sound quality
Really, I would give it a 4.75, but I rounded up. Buy this; you won't be sorry. I definitely wasn't.
Will be great in about a year when they upgrade the firmware........2006-04-23
I use Rhapsody To Go, that way, I can download all the music I want for $15 a month. This works perfectly with this device. However, here are the main concerns I have:
1. Slow interface. Very herky-jerky and unresponsive at times.
2. Locks up frequently.
3. Albums sometimes appear and disappear.
I will be returning this device to Best Buy tomorrow for an Ipod. I hate having to buy an Ipod because it won't work with Rhapsody To Go, but oh well. I have enough music to get me by for the time being.
In a year, I think this device could be an Ipod-killer, but right now, Philips really needs to release a firmware upgrade and fix these bugs.
The interface, however, is very sexy and the cover doesn't scratch easily at all.
Gogear.......2006-02-12
I guess it's pretty good, I would give it 3.5 stars, actually.
Pros: Design, sound, easy to use, etc.
Cons: Fingerprints, scratches, carrying sleeve, (compared to others)it's not very thin, not many accessories available besides the few it comes with and docking stations.
I only got this since it came with a 50 gift card, looking back, I think I would have preffered an iPod.
A pretty good MP3 player.......2006-01-16
Before this, I owned an IPod, and it worked pretty well for me. The battery eventually died for good and I didn't want to get it replaced, so I got this for Christmas. The GoGear is a pretty good MP3 player, with great sound (it even comes with pretty good earbuds) and a slick way to navigate menus.
The good things about this MP3 player are its ease of putting music onto it. It is one of the MP3 players that work perfectly with Windows Media Player, so I sync with that. I believe you can drag and drop into folders, but I haven't tried it.
The sound quality of this MP3 player is excellent. You can use one of the presets or create your own.
Lastly, the look of the MP3 player is very slick. There are no buttons except the volume ones on the side. Everything is controlled by touching various lit up parts of the MP3 player, including a strip in the middle to navigate up and down through your library. This MP3 player shows album art and displays pictures, and has a built in FM tuner and a voice recorder that is suprisingly good quality, great for recording speeches.
The cons of this MP3 player have to do with some of the good. As cool as the navigating is, if you don't put this MP3 player on hold while you're moving around and playing something, you can end up accidently changing the track. I've had this MP3 player freeze on me a few times, but nothing a quick reset couldn't fix. Charging and putting songs on the MP3 player can be a hassle, as they're both done with the same exact cord, unlike the 2 seperate ones for the IPod. This MP3 player isn't gapless, which I was hoping it was, and, most importantly, if your MP3's are encoded in a high quality (I use VBR 128-192), the player slows down and navigating menus lags quite a bit, so you have to have some patience while the player can freeze for up to 5 seconds while you switch menus.
Overall, it's a pretty good player. It does what it's meant to do, with some nice features, but the slowdown while playing a song holds it back from being great. 4 stars.
Addictive - I love it.......2006-01-12
Pros:Easy to use, fun, good looking, great sound
Cons:Battery life and battery display iffy, would like a power adaptor for the car
This is my first mp3 player -- I'm 50 years old, and not particulary techno-savvy. I LOVE it. I've put most of our CD collection on it, as well as some photos. Because I haven't used any other players, I don't miss things that some of them do.
Syncing worked easily, and the player itself is just really easy and really fun to use. (In fact, I have to work to resist the temptation to just play with the touch-screen, surfing endlessly through my entire collection and looking at pictures.)
It works fine with a cassette-adaptor in my car stereo, and with my home stereo using the AV docking cradle. Volume is not an issue in the car -- in fact, I have to turn it down lower than my usual setting for the radio. On the home stereo, oddly enough, I have to turn it up fairly high, but it doesn't seem to be a problem.
It has hung up a couple of times, but reset worked just fine.
I had to remove and re-install the plug-in at one point to be able to transfer pictures. It worked for a while, then stopped, but after re-installation it seems to be just fine again.
The battery display is strange -- appears to drop very quickly, then plays for hours flashing like the battery is low. Battery life is iffy, too. The first couple of times I used it, the battery was dead after 6 or 7 hours. After I completely drained and recharged it five or six times in a row, battery life finally moved up over 12 hours.
I'd love to have a power-adaptor for the car, and I am concerned about whether accessories will become available.
But the bottom line is that I love using it and would recommend it to others.
