Cannot load songs.......2007-06-09

I spent 3 days trying to get some songs into this MP3 player and I finally gave up. Every time MusicMatch Jukebox starts coming up, it will give an error "MusicMatch Jukebox has experienced an error and must close". I can see the PSS120 as a USB hard drive and can copy files to it using Windows Explorer, but I cannot listen to them on the device. Unless you get the songs downloaded thru MusicMatch, the PSS120 serves only as a storage device.
I emailed Philips customer service and described the issue in detail. Their email answer was to read the FAQ. What kind of answer is that?
I then called Philips. The customer service rep asked me to uninstall everything and reinstall it. She would not stay on the phone. She said to call back when I have done that and still have a problem. I told her that I have already done that several times on multiple computers and still get the same problem. She said to "try it again". Needless to say, I got the same error and decided not to call Philips again.

I am very dissappointed in the product and even more dissappointed in Philips customer service. I was considering buying a Philips large screen TV, but after this experience I will not consider a Philips product again.

Love the Shoqbox.......2007-06-08

Revolutionary product - The only negative is the software. Although you won't use Windows Media Player to install the music, you must not have WMP version 11 (you can have v.10) on your computer to download music into the Shoqbox. Versatility and sound is 5 star.

can't work.......2007-06-01

I bought this thing all the way from US and VPOST to send it all the way to me in Malaysia and found out that it doesn't work. It is really frustrating. Now I have to send to out local service centre to repair.

Nightmare -- Don't Buy This Thing.......2006-11-05

This is a really cute looking device -- too bad it doesn't work at all. The firmware and software combo is horrible. You cannot simply drag and drop songs to the device. You MUST use their Philips branded version of MusicMatch Jukebox to transfer songs and it DOES NOT work. Two phone calls to Philips didn't help either. They were polite and all but otherwise useless. I've owned and used MP3 players since they were first introduced and this is by far the most time I have wasted trying to get something to work. I never did succeed.

Great Covenient Player.......2006-07-26

I'm a mom ... that being said I do not need to hear every instrument during my very hetic day. This provides the music I (& the kids) love to get us moving. The first one I purchased, which was a 250 MB, did not power up at all. One call to Philips to trouble shoot, no luck, so they had me send it back, on my dime. However, they replaced it, about 6 weeks later, with an upgraded 512 MB unit. No trouble whatsoever with the 512. I did reset it once with ease, did not loose anything. Battery life is quite long, and built-in rechargeable. Downloading is so simple, or transfer your CD music, easy enough, I am not one to fiddle with instructions. The volume is loud enough, can also use with headphones. No need to carry CD's for the car now. Have used as portable speakers for the kids DVD player, as an alarm clock, auto shut-down, etc. Play music by artist, type, shuffle, repeat. Holds plenty of music. Built in radio. Very portable, took on vacation for the cabin. Obviously not for the pocket. Wonderful idea, very satisfied.

Have bought two--would buy a third!.......2007-01-13

I love the concept, the sound, and the size of this player. I particularly love the rechargable batteries. However, I give it only four stars because of the software to add songs to it... it does not have a Mac version and it is difficult to install. Another reason is that every time you want to listen to the radio you have to scan the airwaves with the antenna plugged in.

We used it to play lullabies for my granddaughter in her incubator in Neonatal Intensive Care Unit. We connected an iShuffle to it-- It was just the right size!

WOW ! ! !.......2006-09-05

This thing is great its like having a party anywhere... I take it to the beach, to work, and just any random place to have some fun. You can put lecture notes in it or audio books and listen in the car and then while you shower, and then in the backyard and the sound has a clear bass and treble to it it reminds me of the Bose system. People it is great and I love mine I hope you guy have this much fun with it.

Read the Instructions.... Had to press reset Right out of the Box.......2006-08-16

Due to battery discharge to the point of being died... You have to press the reset button on back while the unit is plugged in. Then it came right up & works wonderfully. If you would read the instuctions, it does state that this might happen. Easy to overcome & the unit is one very tough unit. I love the alarm clock feature & the fact it works after it is unplugged & turned off. As long as you have the alarm set, even if unplugged from the charger & not in use the Unit "wakes itself & Wakes you with Music of your Choise. Very cool & wonderful unit. Just bought 2 more for Gifts. Hope this helps all of you. No Worries, Really.

I've had this shoqbox 24 hours.

Extremely pleased with everything about it. Please enjoy.

Philips -- LISTEN UP.......2006-01-11

You have a _great_ product here. I loved having it. The sound is good, and rechargeable batteries make it so convenient.

You need to do two things with this product:

1) Allow music to come from a SD card

2) Use USB 2.0

Then you will have a winner and I'd definitely get one.

I returned mine.

Great Mini Boom Box.......2007-01-10

This sound system is great. It puts out very loud and clear music. I use it on my motorcycle and I can hear the music without using ear plugs. Downloading music was a little tricky at first.

excellent player........needs a bit more memory, though.......2007-01-10

the title says it all. This was a great simple mp3 player. One of few that had speakers already. It was fairly easy to work and set up but it needs at least 1 gb of memory and it would have been nice if it picked up playing tracks where it was shut off at............all around I recommend it though
