I gave it a 9 only because it's not compatible with Macs. I can live with that though. I've had my HDD1630 for over a year now. from Digitaltrends.com I've had this unit for about 6 months now, and overall I think its pretty decent. However,... from Cnet.com My original one broke in like a month or two, so I got a new one, and now it doesn't even recognize my music files, even when it tells me that it has synced them all. Not to mention the battery doesn't last that long, and the rubber outer cover collects dust and lint. The earbuds were comfy, but I soon broke off the end of that soon enough (then I bought another pair of Philips earbuds, and they didn't work out for me either... I not hate the Philips company.) Don't buy this MP3 player unless if you feel like torturing yourself and throwing away your money. from Amazon.com I had ipod video and I have been listening and reading about ipod hype. People say there are so many things offered by samsung and philips at lower cost. So I decided lets try one. from Amazon.com Now, for the slammer...mine was working fine one day, then I shut it off. Now it's in a coma. I called Philips and asked them about a fix. I had been using Urge on WMP 11. from Newegg.com I bought the 8gig version from Wal-Mart and returned it 3 days later. I spent the first day trying to get Windows Media player to recognize the device. After finally doing that, this thing too 16 HOURS to transfer 6.5 gigs worth of music. And to top things off, after the transfer, not all the songs were on the device and some of the songs were only partially there. from Amazon.com *Pretty sensitive key pad *Sometimes has it's moment when has to re build it's library or freeze and you have to hook up to your computer to fix Philips HDD1630 6 GB Pros: from Amazon.com With the control case, the player is fully protected and can be hung on a belt loop or pack. Over all, I really like this player. It has been a great alternative to the iPOD empire and I would buy Philips again. from Amazon.com This player has a problem that requires it to be sent for service to the repair center. Occasionally, on a power down, and then the subsequent power on, the Philips GOGEAR will become frozen with the advise to plug your GOGEAR to your PC. And when you attach the GOGEAR to the PC the Device Manager will not recognize the MP3 player. from Amazon.com I loved this MP3 player when I first received it - I thought it sounded great and looked very cool. BUT I was unhappy to discover how "blotchy" it looks after even minimal handling - it vividly shows every single fingerprint & smudge on every surface of the player. AND despite boasting a robust battery life, I could never get it to play longer than 2+ hours without needed to recharge it (even after trying every suggestion in the owner's manual and on the Philips website). I decided to return it and get an iRiver, which has worked great. from Amazon.com
