Not bad although it could use some work February 14, 2003

I recently bought this item used from ebay. It is a alright mp3 player in fact it has turned out to be jog proof which is good. But sometimes when it plays it says "ps" which i'm going to guess means problem scanning then it won't play anything so i have to hit stop then restart it. I haven't had any problems with the battery life it usually runs for about 5 to 6 hours with 1 enegizer battery. The player itself is pretty flimsy but it not a real big problem though. So my advice is if you want a joggable mp3 player and don't mind buying mini cd-r's its a good buy.

Good sounding little player. Can stand up to most kinds of workout motions without skipping a beat. For those who complain about battery life... isn't it about time that more people switched to rechargables?
The perfect little "music box"! August 21, 2002

The other reviwers have mentioned both the pros and cons of the Philips Expanium 8cm mp3 player, so I'll simply add a few words. The sound quality is superb and the portability is wonderful. I've always been very happy with Philips products, and this little mp3 player is now at the top of my Philips list!
 Overall great product, but some things to consider... August 15, 2002

This is an overall great product. I have no qualms about its sound quality and features. And a 50 cent Pocket CD, which holds (for me) about 3-4 standard CDs in MP3 format, is a lot cheaper than more memory for other MP3 players, so throwing 10 Pocket CDs (equals about 30-40 regular CDs!) into my briefcase is very livable.HOWEVER... This unit absolutely DESTROYS batteries. It uses one battery per day EASILY, and more if you listen to music all day. So having to plug into the wall with the AC adapter (included, thankfully) removes some of it's portablity, which is presumably one of the reasons one would want a unit like this. That's one strike. Also, it's a bit thicker than I would have suspected from the online advertising. It's almost an inch thick (about 3/4"), which again, for a "portable" unit, is a bit less than desirable. And one other minor irritation: the DBB (bass boost/enhance) doesn't stay "on" between uses. You have to explicitly turn it on each time you start the player. This could be a power saving feature (as with the ESP skip protection), but it's a minor irritant since I always want it on. Otherwise, this is a great product by Philips and would easily warrant a 4-4.5 star rating outside of its carnivorous battery usage, its thickness, and the DBB issue. The sound and other features on the unit are more than satisfactory.
