Comment: up und "running" in 5 minutes Rating:
the reviews above made me worry - but as a sucker for "small electronics" and a runner I could not resist the nike-philips psa64 (psa[64 ???).
My experience was different from the reviews; I plugged the device in my PC (running XP) - loaded the CD&drivers; even ignored the recommended reboot - using Microsoft's Media Player 9 I could load a mix of MP3 and WMA-files and I was off in literally a couple of minutes. Easy!
I am not impressed by the instructions (no suggestion on what is required and what is mandatory - see WMP use) and the software install (not certified my MS and why ask to reboot if not needed?) - hence 4 stars, not 5...
Comment: Was happy. Now, not so much. Rating:
I bought my MP3 player about a year and a half ago. It was a purchased on a whimm. I did no research and saw it on sale at the store. I was happy, I used the Windows media player on both the windows me and windows xp operating systems. Only to have the player stop working. I can download all the music I want to it, I just can't get it play any of it. A year and a half of moderate use, no dropping, no getting wet, only going through about 4 or 5 batteries, and now its dead. I'll leave it up to you whether you think a year and a half of use is worth the price.
Oh as a side note, if you decide to purchase one definately go bigger than the 64 MB It has about 45 min to an hour of songs, which can bug you when they start to repeat.
Over all the time I had with the player was good, if terribly short.
Comment: Software is ridiculous Rating:
The Nike PSA player itself looks like a great little device, and is the perfect size for working out. I wouldn't know firsthand, though, because I never could get the driver software to install. The MusicMatch software installed quickly on Windows XP, but the drivers would not. After trying all of the updates from the Philips websites, and Firmware updates, still, nothing. This was all attempted by a network engineer who troubleshoots software and hardware installations for a living. I then attempted to use the Philips help line, but they were of no help at all. After reading numerous reviews, it is clear to me that there are definite problems with the software, and it's not worth taking a chance by purchasing this product.
