It comes with the Phillips songbird program. This is a 4GB MP3 player so it holds a TON of songs which is ideal for not having to change out your music frequently. If you like those, though, they can work with the Raga. Those aren't very cute, but they stay in better and are far more comfortable than traditional ear buds. The nice thing about this is (I bought the Raga) it comes with a sport cover and a sports band as well as earbuds that also wrap around your ear. This MP3 player was, however, a great alternative. Price wise, I wasn't about to purchase a newer, better iPod. He rarely uses it because he doesn't enjoy it and it doesn't hold very many songs compared to the newer models. He owns the original, basic iPod that doesn't have a screen.

This MP3 player was purchased for my husband. True Phillips GoGear MP3 Player is awesome! Oh, and did I mention that the battery life is GREAT? Overall I would definitely recommend it to a friend. It still looks brand new, thanks to the thin yet very-protective case it came with. Though I don't use it on a daily basis, I do enjoy using it on long plane rides - which I take many of! - and for listening while exercising or laying in bed. I can also store plenty (hundreds) of pictures and songs. The screen is small enough to not make the player bulky, yet big enough to the video is clear. I was able to purchase Nim's Island when it first came out (yes, I have owned it for a while now!) and several other movies to watch on it. It is quite easy to load music, videos, and pictures onto the player. I have found it to be an excellent MP3 player, and it's lived up to the reputation I read about it! After researching and reading reviews on several products, I finally settled on Philip's GoGear 8GB model. I was in the market for a new MP3 player/ipod 3 years ago. If you like things a bit more jazzy, it isn't for you. She liked it so much that I bought her her own!

Pretty easy to use - even my Nanna could work it and that's saying something. I've had one of these crash on me once, but it's easy enough to reset and it has never done it again. I don't have a highly tuned ear for sound, but I've never noticed any tinniness or other sound problems. I use it pretty much everyday and have never regretted purchasing it. Even those less technologically minded have enjoyed using it, albeit having to refer to instructions occassionally! It has been consistently high-quality, apart from one instance of a crash early on, which was quickly remedied using the given instructions and has never recurred.

I've had this MP3 player for years and have recommended it to several friends and family members.
