Product Description
Amazon.com Product Description
With the included 32 MB SmartMedia card and bundled RealNetworks' RealJukebox software, the Phillips SA101 Rush MP3 player seamlessly downloads, stores, and plays back MP3 files from the Internet. And because it has no mechanical parts, the Phillips SA101 Rush provides uninterrupted playback even if it's bumped or jarred. Its compact design features a bright LCD screen that displays artist information, track time, and bit rate. The digital equalizer supplies a range of custom sound for all of your MP3s.
Downloading MP3 files from the Internet is quick and simple. The compressed digital MP3 files are first downloaded by your PC, then stored on a SmartMedia flash memory card using RealJukebox. Downloading a three-minute song to the player takes about 25 seconds, while a single 32 MB memory card stores just under an hour of music. It is also possible to endlessly erase and overwrite music, and the bookmark feature allows immediate access to the beginning of up to 10 songs. The Phillips SA101 Rush provides 12 hours of operation using two AAA batteries.
The Phillips SA101 Rush is compliant with current Secure Digital Music Initiative (SDMI) proposals, which means that you can download any existing or future MP3 files. It is also Audible ready, so it can play spoken-word audio available from audible.com. A 32 MB SmartMedia card, set of stereo earphones, parallel port cable, and an AC/DC adapter are included with the Phillips SA101 Rush. Measuring 3 by 3 by 0.66 inches, this player easily slips into your pocket.

Customer Reviews:
I Love this ITEM.......2006-02-08
A waste of money and TIME!.......2005-01-07
Faulty Product.......2004-08-10
NO software problems with RealONE !.......2002-07-09
The solution is to copy the previously working file pdphilip.dll from C:\Program Files\Real\RealJukebox\plugins to C:\Program Files\Real\RealPlayer\plugins. Then open RealONE, and click Tools -> Preferences -> Devices -> Philips Rush (Disabled) -> Enable Device?
Note that:
a. above file locations are for Windows 2000 using default locations - other OS may differ slightly.
b. If you have not upgraded yet, save a copy of pdphilip.dll from C:\Program Files\Real\RealJukebox\plugins before upgrading - the upgrade may delete it!
c. If you have upgraded, and pdphilip.dll was deleted, re-install RealJukebox1 from your Rush CD, then remember to install the "Windows 98" Plug-in patch (as others above point out, it is needed for all OS if you use USB!), make a copy of pdphilip.dll, then install RealONE, copy pdphilip.dll as above ....
You may get away with just installing the "Windows 98" Plug-in patch - I did above before thinking of trying that?
I actually have a RUSH SA126 but expect the same applies to SA101 SA107 SA125 and SA126 - they appear to only differ in memory card size, or type of mains adaptor &/or documentation delivered with them in the box.
Does anyone know why Philips don't put a definitive statement on their site (I've emailed them several times, but never got other than an auto acknowledge email back), and work with Real to get the RUSH driver indexed from the Real "Devices" support pages.
The Philips RUSH rates:
5 stars for hardware,
5 stars for performance,
4 stars for Software BUT
ZERO for software installation instructions and
ZERO for manufacturers software support
Overall 5 stars only for those who are willing to work it out for themselves.
Good product, but..........2002-07-06
