FullSound™ to bring a CD listening experience to MP3

Philips’ innovative FullSound technology faithfully restores sonic details to compressed MP3 music, dramatically enriching and enhancing it, so you can experience CD music without any distortion. Based on an audio post-processing algorithm, FullSound combines Philips’ renowned expertise in music reproduction with the power of the latest generation Digital Signal Processor (DSP). The result is fuller bass with more depth and impact, boosted voice and instrument clarity, and rich detail. Rediscover your compressed MP3 music in true-to-life sound that will touch your soul and move your feet.

MP3 and WMA playback

Audio compression technology allows large digital music files to be reduced up to 10 times in size without radically degrading their audio quality. MP3 or WMA are two of the compression formats that let you enjoy a world of digital music on your GoGear player. Download MP3 or WMA songs from authorised music sites on the Internet or create your own MP3 or WMA music files by ripping your audio CDs and transferring them onto your player.

Voice recording to take notes or record anything, anytime

Voice recording converts your GoGear player into a handy dictation machine. Besides playing music or listening to the radio, you can also record notes or reminders for work or school, record shopping lists and phone numbers – even song lyrics. By pressing the recording button and speaking into the built-in microphone, voice messages are compressed and stored in the built-in internal memory. Voice recording gives you a highly portable voice recorder allowing you to record anything, anytime and anywhere!

1.5" Full colour display for easy navigation and album art

1.5" full colour screen allows you to navigate easily within the control menu or the music files of your GoGear player. Plus, you can flip through your photo collection while enjoying your music on the go.

Personalised slideshows to accompany your music listening

Just as you like to express yourself through your accessories and gadgets, the personalised slideshow lets your GoGear player be a further expression of you while you are on the move. Select any image or set of images you want as your slideshow. When the GoGear is idle, your personalised slideshow will come alive, showing off your photos to your friends and the people around you.

Rocking lens for easy navigation

Up to 30-hours of music playback

Direct charging from PC via USB

Charge your GoGear player battery quickly and easily from your PC via USB. Connect your player to your PC with the cable provided and follow the necessary prompts and your PC will provide the power for charging your player within a few seconds.

Folder view to organise and view media files as you do on your PC

Folder view is an optional directory view of the GoGear player that lets you view all the files on your player as if it were a computer. Once you select Folder view, opening any supported file (i.e. music, pictures or videos) is as easy as selecting the file and hitting Play.

Drag and drop your songs easily — no software needed

You can quickly and easily copy your music collection from your PC to your GoGear player. Simply connect your GoGear to your PC while in Windows® Explorer, select the songs or the folders that you want to copy to your player, then drag the selected files to the GoGear’s music folder. It is that simple. No additional software installation is needed!
