General Comments

I have a lot to say about the Philips HDD120 MP3 player. Some of it good, quite a lot bad. It was a bit of a roller-coaster thing for me!

SOFTWARE
POSITIVE:

I liked the 'ID Tag' function, enabling me to sort out all my songs under their correct titles and genres etc. It keeps things more organized.
Easy enough to get used to, simple lay-out.

NEGATIVE:

A little bit slower than I expected for transferring songs on to the device.
Sometimes froze, or wouldn't let me change the ID of songs.

SOUND QUALITY

Very good; particularly as I love listening to my music loud.
I hated the headphones as the little rubber protectors fell off and got lost. I then had to use different headphones.

BATTERY LIFE

Quite bad. It charges quickly but runs out quickly too.

APPEARANCE

Nice, I loved the chrome thing at the side, but it became a little bulky looking after a while, compared to newer MP3 players.

GENERAL

Unfortunately, this MP3 player caused me a lot of problems. It always froze, and I think I got it repaired 3 times in the space of about 9 to 10 months. The shop then upgraded me to the HDD623, which I have just handed back in to get a refund. I was really disappointed as I love the appearance and sound quality of Philips, but there were just too many problems and I was always annoyed with it!! Pretty disappointing.
