Play back MP3, WMA or DRM music from subscription services
Your GoGear player supports the latest Windows Media Digital Rights Management (DRM) technology from Microsoft that enables it to recognise and play back music purchased or subscribed from online audio services using the same technology. Or create your own MP3 or WMA music files by ripping your audio CDs and transferring them onto your player to savour the vast universe of digital music available.
FM radio with RDS and 20 presets for more music options
RDS (Radio Data System) is a communications protocol standard that allows digital information to be transmitted over FM radio broadcasts. RDS-enabled FM radio receivers can display useful information including station identity, programme details and song title and artist etc. You can store a desired station as a preset channel on your GoGear player at any time. With the ability to store 20 preset radio stations, you can quickly access your favourite radio station without having to tune the frequencies manually each time.

1.5" full colour screen allows you to navigate easily within the control menu or the music files of your GoGear player. Plus, you can flip through your photo collection while enjoying your music on the go.
Up to 25-hour music or 4-hour video playback

This long-lasting player allows you to savour your favourite tunes for up to a whopping 25 hours of continuous music playback or up to 4 hours of video playback - all on a single charge. Now you can sit back and listen to music all day long or watch the equivalent of 2 movies back-to-back wherever you go.
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 the radio, you can also record notes or reminders for work or school, record shopping lists and phone numbers - even song lyrics.

Choose a video and click the Download button that appears when you hover the mouse cursor over the video. No need to wait - just move on to other videos and start downloading more.
Easy and intuitive user interface with album art display
GoGear’s easy and intuitive user interface is powered by advanced navigation technology. It not only helps to ensure quick and smooth navigation but also an enjoyable multimedia experience that doesn’t take long to master. Smart features like Album Art (which displays album artwork embedded in music files) enables you to have a richer experience, just like in the good old days when you would view the cover of a CD or LP while enjoying your music.
1GB = 1 billion bytes; available storage capacity will be less. Rechargeable batteries have a limited number of charge cycles and may eventually need to be replaced.
*Battery life and number of charge cycles vary by use and settings.

I bought this for my 7 year old son. I know, why should a 7 year old neeed an mp3 player. Things have changed. When I was 10 my Xmas present was Elvis' 40 greatest hits and it was the best present I ever had. It will probably always be the best present I ever have.
Anyway. This is amazingly easy.
My little boy is into JLS and Michael Jackson. We downloaded our cd's straight onto the mp3. The best part is you can download vidioes straight from Youtube onto your mp3 player. It takes about 15 to 25 minutes to download a video but it's worth it as you are not paying a penny.
This Xmas day, I kid you not, we hardly saw our boy. He had a new ds game along with his new mp3 player. I uploaded his player with a couple of albums (JLS and MJ'S Off The Wall) along with a couple of MJ videos.
We found the disc that came with the mp3 didn't work on our computer but we went straight to the Phillips help site and downloaded the stuff we needed.
I gotta tell ya, My 7 year old son now has a better mp3 system that I have.
The most important thing is tonight my Boy told me this was the best Xmas he had ever had.

This item is beautiful! Very light and easy to use (simple, but smart), it is my everyday friend. The sound is superb. However, I do not use the earphones provided with this item, I use my Stereo JVC earbuds (they fit well in the ears and keep the noise out) and the sound is crystal clear! I have one objection though, you can not rewind the song or forward it. For this I give it 4 stars. You can just play your song again if u want. I haven't used the other functions yet but I will update as soon as I do. I bought a USB-charger for it, but it seems it simply charges when you plug it in you computer. It needs Media Player 10 for conversion.
You cannot use your photos for the display which has only 3 (dark, red and light - yellow) display colours you can choose from. As a screen saver you get several options like the clock (digital or classic), which will reset each time you switch off the mp3 player.
I bought a very cheap and fashionble pouch (made of neopren and small) for it and for the earbuds (u can purchase it from Poundland for 1 pound!)
I recommend it! It is a very good mp3 player (easy to use, light, fashionable, very good sound quality)!

The Phillips GoGear Vibe 4GB MP3 is a big hit with this household. The screen is a cool way of seeing what your watching; however, a completely pointless size for watching videos (but then again, I've never really understood why you'd want to download a video onto an MP3 player from You Tube - must be an age thing!). The player itself is easy to use, being both intuitive and simple. Why bother paying over a 100 for a NANO when you can have this for a fraction of the price.? As per most MP3 players the headphones are pretty pants (But still better than a standard IPOD headphone in my opinion). The sound is pleasant. So if you combine price, use and sound I don't see many better players around.

I bought this as a present for my bf and it was a success, he loves it. The delivery itself was quick, however the dispatch was a bit lenghty. I'd still recommend it.
