FullSound™ to bring a CD listening experience to MP3
Philips' innovative FullSound technology faithfully restores sonic details to compressed MP3 music, dramatically enriching and enhancing it, so you can experience CD music without any distortion. Based on an audio post-processing algorithm, FullSound combines Philips' renowned expertise in music reproduction with the power of the latest generation Digital Signal Processor (DSP). The result is fuller bass with more depth and impact, boosted voice and instrument clarity, and rich detail. Rediscover your compressed MP3 music in true-to-life sound that will touch your soul and move your feet.
MP3 and WMA playback
Audio compression technology allows large digital music files to be reduced up to 10 times in size without radically degrading their audio quality. MP3 or WMA are two of the compression formats that let you enjoy a world of digital music on your GoGear player. Download MP3 or WMA songs from authorised music sites on the Internet or create your own MP3 or WMA music files by ripping your audio CDs and transferring them onto your player.

Voice recording to take notes or record anything, anytime
Voice recording converts your GoGear player into a handy dictation machine. Besides playing music and listening to the radio, you can also record notes or reminders for work or school, record shopping lists and phone numbers - even song lyrics. By pressing the recording button and speaking into the built-in microphone, voice messages are compressed and stored in the built-in internal memory. Voice recording gives you a highly portable voice recorder allowing you to record anything, anytime and anywhere!
1.5" Full colour display for easy navigation and album art
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.
Personalised slideshows to accompany your music listening
Just as you like to express yourself through your accessories and gadgets, the personalised slideshow lets your GoGear player be a further expression of you while you are on the move. Select any image or set of images you want as your slideshow. When the GoGear is idle, your personalised slideshow will come alive, showing off your photos to your friends and the people around you.

Charge your GoGear player battery quickly and easily from your PC via USB. Connect your player to your PC with the cable provided and follow the necessary prompts and your PC will provide the power for charging your player within a few seconds.

Folder view to organise and view media files as you do on your PC
Folder view is an optional directory view of the GoGear player that lets you view all the files on your player as if it were a computer. Once you select Folder view, opening any supported file (i.e. music, pictures or videos) is as easy as selecting the file and hitting Play.
Drag and drop your songs easily - no software needed
You can quickly and easily copy your music collection from your PC to your GoGear player. Simply connect your GoGear to your PC while in Windows® Explorer, select the songs or the folders that you want to copy to your player, then drag the selected files to the GoGear's music folder. It is that simple. No additional software installation is needed!

4.0 out of 5 stars
What a super mp3 player!,
By Dionysius (UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Philips SA2945/02 GoGear Spark 4GB MP3 Player with 1.5-inch LCD and FM Radio (Electronics)
OK, I bought this a few weeks ago for someone to give me for Christmas, so I've only had a couple of days to play with it. But it's so easy to use! The included software is only required if a repair is needed, otherwise files are transferred using the file browser on your computer (or Windows media player if you must). I shouldn't show my prejudices, but one of the attractions for me was just that ability to transfer files using a file browser, because I rarely use Windows. 99% of my work (and play) is done on a Linux operating system and the GoGear works just fine. It's also very light, easy to operate, comes with a manual in more languages than you can shake a stick at but which is mercifully brief. Well, there's very little to learn. You can transfer pictures to the GoGear exactly as you do mp3 files (drag and drop; but put them in the "pictures" directory not the "music" one). The information displayed on the screen is bright and in large characters so I can still read it without having to put my specs on. The radio reception is fine where I live (FM only) and you can load audio books onto the thing to keep you awake on long journeys or just commuting to work.
Drawbacks. The clip attachment doesn't inspire me with confidence, but there's a small hole in the plastic frame that will take a keyring. The earphones are pretty average so invest in some better ones, then the sound quality is good. And one thing that doesn't concern me at all, but might be a problem for some; it will not play DRM songs bought from the internet. Also it will only play files in either mp3 or wma formats. Obviously it's not as easy to scroll through your music files as with some mp3 players that have larger screens, but that doesn't mean it's difficult. A super little player and, for the price, a real bargain.

4.0 out of 5 stars
here's a couple of helpful tips,
By Kentish Lady (Kent, Britain) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Philips SA2945/02 GoGear Spark 4GB MP3 Player with 1.5-inch LCD and FM Radio (Electronics)
This is a very good little player for the price, extremely compact but with a clear screen.
At first I was disappointed with it, as I use my player to listen to podcasts and books and there is no bookmark facility. However, there seems to be a solution - always put the on/off button to "hold" and turn the player off directly from there. This has worked consistently so far on my machine, enabling me to pick up again later exactly where I left off before. Another tip - label your tracks with any important information near the start of the title, as they scroll across the screen quite slowly. My only reason for not putting 5 stars is that the top volume is a little quiet for listening to speech in a noisy environment - probably deliberate to avoid hearing damage from rock tracks etc.

5.0 out of 5 stars
I am so pleased with this MP3 player.,
By Carol (Essex) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Philips SA2945/02 GoGear Spark 4GB MP3 Player with 1.5-inch LCD and FM Radio (Electronics)
I have just retired and I wanted an MP3 player to listen to podcasts and audio books when I am travelling or in the garden. I hadn't a clue which one to purchase but I liked the look of this one, most of the reviews were good, and now I am so glad I chose it. It really is very, very easy to use, even for a complete beginner like myself, it is a good size with a nice, clear sound and there is also the added bonus of FM radio. I can really recommend it.
