Manufacturer's Description
The new Philips GoGear HDD1620 6GB hard disk drive jukebox combines a highly stylish design with an innovative interface, as well as providing compatibility with a number of the leading online music download services. The Philips GoGear HDD1620 jukebox brings a new level of ease-of-use and practical day-to-day enjoyment of listening to MP3 and WMA* music, as well as the ability to store and view photographs. The HDD1620 features 6Gb storage enough to store up to 3000 songs or 1600 pictures. Audio, including voice memos or conversations can also be easily recorded via integrated microphones in the player, which store recordings as WAV files for playback via the headphones or on a PC.
The player features a backlit sensory touchpad and Philips’ acclaimed SuperScroll™ system for speedy and precise navigation through a music collection. Listeners can just tap or drag their finger along the touch-sensitive strip to navigate through their library of music and photos. Furthermore intuitive graphic icons, as well as album art, help illustrate menus and music tracks, while music collections are helpfully arranged into easy-to-understand categories such as Artist, Album, Genre, and Playlists. The navigation system also helps the user locate and view photos stored on the GoGear jukeboxes, enabling JPEG pictures to be shown on the large, clear and colorful backlit LCD screen. Pictures can be navigated in full screen mode or as an array of thumbnails, and can be viewed one at a time, or automatically in a slideshow accompanied by music.
Ease of use
The new Philips HDD1620 is designed to make it as easy as possible to load up the player with content quickly and without difficulty. Each GoGear player is supplied as standard with a USB cable for high-speed data transfer via USB 2.0. Philips has created a comprehensive range of optional accessories for consumers to extend and enhance their portable hard disk drive enjoyment. Battery life on the HDD1620 is up to 18 hours’ continual music playback** before recharging. These latest GoGear jukeboxes also have a speed charge capability where one hour of charging delivers 70% capacity.
PlaysforSure compatibility
To ensure maximum compatibility with the growing number of legitimate music download services, the new Philips GoGear HDD jukebox range also supports the PlaysforSure initiative from Microsoft®. PlaysforSure ensures interoperability of devices and services so that consumers can simply know their device and service will work together.
The PlaysforSure logo enables consumers to match the logos of both their playback device and preferred service. Consumers wishing to buy a Philips GoGear HDD jukebox will be easily able to check whether their preferred content supplier supports the PlaysforSure initiative, ensuring peace-of-mind that they will be able to fully enjoy downloaded content on their Philips player. A further key element of PlaysforSure is that it fully supports Windows® Media DRM10 (formerly known as Janus) digital rights management solution, which is currently employed by over 70 online services offering Windows Media content.
*Actual storage capacity will be less. Capacity is based on four minutes per song (128 kbps encoding for MP3 files and 64kbps encoding for WMA tracks) and pictures taken at 5 megapixel resolution.
**Battery life varies with usage.
