GoGEARMP3 video player

My go to for recording voices and listening to music! I have had it for about 4 years now. It does last! I have the 8gb model. I am not sure how to get videos on it. The display is smaller than most but it is a lot faster to use than most I have seen 4 years ago and even some now. Probably one of the best ones I've used.

I received the GoGear Vibe 8gb back in 2009 or 2010 AND IT'S STILL RUNNING GREAT! I listen to a lot of audio books and the battery life is STILL about as good as it was new. It has also been used substantially while I was at work in the shipyard - very hot, dirty, and in the summer, extremely humid environment almost everyday for 4 years. I have spilled a few drinks that have seeped inside via the USB and headphone jacks but with quick triage (blowing into the jacks to remove as much liquid as possible and help via centrifugal force) I am *very* pleased at the abuse this little machine has tolerated! Please keep in mind I am reviewing the device itself and not so much the Phillips Songbird software which was very confusing to me as I don't care to create playlists and the like. It could also be clearer as to converting different video formats BUT once figured out, becomes easy enough. The menu-driven interface on the device is intuitive and easy to navigate. The lock toggle switch on the bottom, when activated, is confirmed via the screen which is satisfying and works well. Especially if you put the device in your pocket when playing MP3s or audio books. I love the fact that there is no fluff and just enough menu items to get the job done. Everything from slideshows, playing videos, and playing audio is easy and extremely reliable. In conclusion I am very satisfied with this gift and would recommend it to anyone that wants a compact, *rugged*, great sounding MP3 player with a battery life that has been first class. The screen is tiny for videos but as I said earlier because I use it primarily for audio books, video is just icing on the cake for me and is sufficient to entertain me when I have chosen to use it. I hope this review has helped!

It is small and handy. It holds more than just music. I love my gogear!

Easy to use once setup but seems to balk at PC interface with Songbird. Windows 7 attempts to reformat the drive interpreting that there is a problem when none exists!

MP3 is mostly used in the car just load it full of music and go also works good for moving files from one computer to another quickly and easily mine has not had the easiest of lives by far and still works like new was even fully submerged in a glass of Coca-Cola washed with water and left to dry for a day and i still use it everyday excellent piece of electronics would recommended to any one 5*

Sound is excellent especially when you use any Philips headphones. small, light weight, and you can delete songs while they are playing. Perfect device. No issues!

This player was a great value. It has worked well for me and was reasonably priced.

I work in construction and I have my song bird in a case clipped onto my hard hat and its great ....but I have some Ideas of new app Ideas for this system......could a 2 way be added so construction workers could talk to each other and the system would go back to music when 2 way is not in use but when some one kees thier mike the 2 way takes over....Idea 2....the ear pieces would have to be swet proof and cover the ear to protect from excessive noise but with the 2 way other workers could can still talk while working....and as I do already learning cd's can already be downloaded on to the songbird and learned while working thereby multy tasking and I am learning spanish while I am working.could a interactive educational software be developed with a combination of roseta stone and voice recognition software so english speaking supervisors could be learning spanish and our spanish speaking co workers could be learning english think of all the posibilities for this

didnt use your media-(song bird) to download used my own but i am completely satisfied with it

Not being very familiar with electronics; I asked a Brother-n-law to help me download some music. He showed me just how easy it really is. Thank you. I also feel the sound quality is excellent. The one and only issue I have, is; the included earphones. I can not use "ear buds". I do realize this as a personal issue. as this is my only concern so far. I am very happy with my MP3.
