philips 20 gig mp3 player at xtra vision

darragh o meara

I just spotted this in xtra vision for 269 euro (see link below) I think its not too bad a price as I've seen them elsewhere at over 300 euro.... Might be worth a look

Anyone know much about this Philips? Looks like a good alternative to the IPOD. I really like that LCD.

I have one of these... Nice little model, though you should be aware that you'll most likely have to download the latest version of the software used to transfer files across, as the copy that shipped with mine is borked in the extreme...

€269..... pah. http://www.overclockers.co.uk/acatalog/Philips.html

5 gigs less but comes to €165... add shipping n it comes to around €200

They look good but seem to get bad reviews. As doodle said the software tis dodgy

Kevin_rc_ie

not to labour the issue but this machine is the worst out of the iriver/ipod/creative bracket. it is a little cheaper but it's software dependancy can be a bit annoying i'd say. anyone got one? i haven't so i'll shut up now.

Do these hard disk machines (IPOD,Zen, et al) skip much? Can you go jogging with them? (I fear not)

I've never had one skip on me..

I've got a Creative Zen NX and it recommends you don't go jogging with it. Its never skipped, ever and I love it !!!!!

I bought one today and its savage I've used it all day and I've no complaints so far. It really needs the usb 2.0 to keep it fast for transferring over to it but other than that its great

my best purchase this year so far. I bought it to put into the car and link it throught the car stereo.....

Hey the HDD120 has just gone down to €259 in The Philips Shop on the corner of Dame Street and Georges street in Dublin 01 474 0788

never jog with a harddrive, never jog with a harddrive based mp3 player. The odds are you won't cause damage, but do you really want to risk your brand spanking new player? Harddrives have been known to be quite susceptible to damage via shaking, so jogging is a no-no.

Will Do! Thanx

a few days on and after daily use I'm lovin it. As regards the genre etc that is in the id3 tag on the mp3 file. if you want to put them into albums you do the same thing

Can these be used like USB keys to store data as well. Also do they have a radio built in?

darragh o meara

they can be used as 20gig portable hard drives but they havent got a radio. the smaller ones do.

commited

The 20GB Zen touch is €253 from Komplett

Saruman

cheaper BUT add shipping and its either the same or more expensive.
