    Good Points: 3000 tracks, liked the black light


    General comments: I liked the Philips HDD120 to start with, got 3000 tracks on it,and was able to work it ok, im no computer wizard.

    However, my computer does not recognize the hdd at all, even after rebooting, lost all content, its going in the bin as this is the second one.

    After 2 years my MP3Philips HDD120 ad a major software crash.
    The MP3 no longer knows what it is at all and I cannot recover files on it, some of which were important.
    I e-mailed phillips about it and they replied saying they could fix it for £160!!!! Yes, the files were important but not THAT important

    The Philips HDD120 was my first mp3 player and loved it, until i dropped it many times and finally the scratches finally made me buy a new mp3 player, creative zen mirco 4GB. Now i have the samsung ypk5j which is outstanding and i also have a archos 605 wifi 160GB! love all my mp3 players :D

    I've had the Philips HDD120 for about 3 years. It's worked alright as a music listening device, but the software is a train wreck next to just about any other program and the limiter on the maximum volume makes hearing many songs difficult in any noisy environment like the subway. Also annoying is periodic pauses in playback, I guess when the memory reboots. Battery life has dwindled to a rather useless 3-4 hours or so.
    The up side is the line-in recording. Though it seems to have skipping prob ...

    I have to say that the Philips HDD120 is a great MP3 player, and I would highly recommend it to anyone... But, I am having a lot of trouble charging my battery... :( I plug it in with the adapter when the MP3 is on, and to make sure it charges, I have to make sure it stays on for the next 4 hours, and still I only get 2 bars of battery life?? If I try and charge it without it being on, it does nothing at all.

    If anyone knows how to sort this out, please can you leave me a comment on here, as ...

    I really like the Philips HDD120 MP3 player. However, the main frustration is in transferring songs to it, which when you start from scratch takes days (I kid you not).

    I always store my song formats at 192 bits (CD quality), and I was thinking of lowering this to see if file transfers got any quicker. I have just transferred 200 songs in over 5 hours!!!

    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 ...

    I have had the Philips HDD120 player for a year now and am very pleased with it.

    I have used it to record from vinyl onto the player; but a word of caution, if you are recording a lot of music directly onto the machine, backup and reload data from PC after about 4Gb or the timer on recording does some very strange things.

    After the trouble with the software (my fault I may add) the player seems O.K.
    I have used the Windows media player MyMusic file to load the tracks onto the HDDs software and this works well.
    If you have an 'unknown artist' file against the track you have loaded the HDD120 software lets you put the name of the track and the artist into the track listing. A good feature because it lets you put other info in there such as track date etc.
    5000 tracks on one MP3 is fine by me.
    All in all a good ...
