 Very annoying! Don't buy it! December 5, 2007

I'll keep it short. (The review is for the 256MB version). One word - Annoying. The fact that Philips FORCED you to use the musicmatch software to load songs is very very annoying. Difficult to use. And as another reviewed said, it doesn't resume. Once stopped, it goes back to the first song. That't annoying too. You'll be better off with just buying a cheap MP3 player and a separate powered mini speaker. Doesn't look as nice but at least it works fine! Really regret buying the Philips!!

I have two of these the first I bought for $150 more than two years ago and the most recent I got for $60.
I have had very little trouble with using the features or transfering files.
Don't use Music match though. With XP windows, media player works fine for tranfers. But there is a neat piece of free software called Shoqbox Buddy which is excellent - for transfers and creating playlists. Shoqbox Buddy works fine with Vista.
Cons: There is no way to expand memory - wish it had a SD card slot. Also I occasionally have to reset the unit to get it to start - using a pencil to press on the reset button at the back of the player.
Cannot load songs June 9, 2007

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 June 8, 2007

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.
