30gb mp3 players

Music lovers who want the iPod’s style but would rather stick to something compatible with Windows Media Player and Windows Media DRM 10 should give some consideration to Philips’s $300 ($280 on the street) GoGear HDD6330 Jukebox, a sexy black portable that offers 30GB of storage, photo viewing on a bright, clear screen, and even a few tricks that the iPod hasn’t learned.

While the snazzy touch-sensitive interface isn’t for everybody, this Windows Media DRM 10-compatible player is a nice step forward for Philips MP3 players, which have suffered from performance issues in the past. The player’s smooth black face doesn’t show any controls or buttons at first. It has three Playback buttons on the top, Forward and Back buttons on the sides, a scroll bar in the middle, and the Menu button on the lower left.

The Philips GoGear HDD6330 Jukebox’s design has drawbacks, though. The Philips GoGear HDD6330 Jukebox has a bright 2-inch TFT screen capable of 65,000 colors and eight lines of text. The Philips GoGear HDD6330 Jukebox features a simple side-scrolling interface, with all the different areas arranged on the right side of the main screen: Music, Pictures, Radio, Recordings, Settings, and Now Playing.

When you’re viewing photos with music playing, you can control the music tracks with the top row of controls while using the scroll bar to look through photos so that you can move between tracks without leaving the photo section; you can’t do that with the iPod. Loading the Philips GoGear HD6330 is simple, as it works seamlessly with Windows Media Player.

The Philips GoGear HDD6330 Jukebox’s sound quality is nice and bright, even with the bundled headphones. The Philips GoGear HDD6330 Jukebox is rated for 15 to 17 hours of battery life; different product literature has different numbers.
