Amazon.com Product Description
Designed for active music listeners who work and play hard, the Philips PSA232 MP3 player stores up to 128 MP3s or 256 WMA files in a round and robust body that holds up to heavy use. The player's controls are built on a "no-look" rocking lens, which provides discreet and easy access to multiple functions without disrupting your workouts. Simply tap on the guiding points of the rocking lens--all of which are marked with a small bump for convenience--to play songs, skip, adjust the volume, and perform a host of other tasks, all without glancing at the player. It's great for jogging, snowshoeing, stair stepping, and any other on-the-go activity.
Songs are stored on the player's 512 MB of built-in memory, which is teamed with a mini Secure Digital (SD) card slot for expandability. By itself, the player holds around 15 hours of music, but thanks to the memory card slot, the MP3 player's capacity is restricted only by the number of SD cards you own. Another nice bonus is the ID3 tag support, which reads the album title, artist name, and track title from encoded MP3s and transfers them to the backlit 96 x 64 LCD display.
The PSA232 is no slouch from an audio perspective, either. The unit's digital bass boost pumps up the low-frequency response for a fuller overall sound, while the multiple equalizer settings (R&B, rock, hip-hop, classic, and jazz) deliver several listening options based on genre or personal taste. Should you tire of MP3s and want to catch a favorite music or news show, turn to the FM tuner, which not only picks up the entire FM spectrum (87.5 to 108 MHz) but also includes 10 station presets for easy channel surfing.
And no sport MP3 player is complete with a built-in stopwatch. This particularly model includes a talking stopwatch, which relays elapsed running time through the headphones. No need to look at the display, or even turn off the music for that matter. To activate the stopwatch, simply press the strategically positioned button on the top left of the player. It's that simple.
The device is compatible with PCs running Windows XP and includes a copy of Windows Media Player 10. It also requires a free USB port, Internet Explorer 6.0 or higher, and a sound card to function properly. And at 2.5 by 1.04 by 2.5 inches (W x H x D), it takes up only a tiny amount of space. The unit comes with a single AAA battery and a USB cable and is backed by a one-year warranty.

Customer Reviews:
It has its problems, but its great for the gym.......2007-11-06
Pros:
Great design for the gym
Good radio reception
Built-in stopwatch
Very inexpensive
Cons:
Bad battery life
Only compatible for sync with WMP 10 (not the newest)
Very difficult to add a play list
Overall, I like it just because of the great design and ease of use while exercising. This MP3 player is the reason why I started using rechargeable batteries.
Hmmmm...I wish I would have held out .......2007-08-12
I am like one of the other reviewers. I wanted to like this mp3 player but it is so terrible. I wish I would have held out for the Sony or Ipod. I bought this because it was on the cheaper side and I thought Philips would have been a good brand to have.It works sometimes and this is the longest it has been that it hasn't worked at all. The radio worked but I can't play any of the files I have on it. It is by no means user friendly. The instruction manual is not helpful at all. Anyway, I know I have gotten long winded but I would definitely recommend that you not buy this device.
OK if you find it cheap........2007-06-22
Pros:
I like the talking stopwatch.
Sound quality is OK, I like the EQ & Bass level options.
Headphones stay in place.
Pretty durable. I've had mine over a year, it's been dropped lots and still works.(see arm bracket mounting issues below.)
But, Oh, the CONS:
Battery life is HORRIBLE. I'm lucky if I get two workouts per battery.
They need to use more than one AAA battery for this thing.
Never could get the mini-SD card to work. Won't play songs from it even IF I get lucky and can even get songs on the card in the first place. My card works fine on other devices.
Customer service could not fix the card issues & seemed clueless about them. To their credit, they did answer the phone & try hard.
Hard to use w/ the arm bracket. It's OK once it's in there, but you have to remove the headphones to mount it. Plus it's tricky to get it seated right & I've dropped mine lots in the process. I usually accidentally push buttons when mounting & turn it off/on when I don't want to.
Hard to see the display outside.
Buen producto.......2007-02-08
Asi es, la verdad me ha salido buenisimo, la bateria dura lo que debe de durar, aprox unas 8 horas....
Vino en buenas condiciones y es pequeño, cabe en la mano....
Lo recomiendo para corredores de media maraton, acaso piensan gastar 1GB de música en todo el recorrido? lo dudo!
Not bad for what it is.......2006-11-19
This Mp3 Player does have alot of problems but those can be fixed.
1. The battery life does suck but after you buy yourself one of those 15 minute rapid chargers that really is not a problem anymore.
2. It sometimes does not let you play your music. After this happen to me i went out and bought a ipod which i did not like and took back. When this mp3 player frezzes on you all you have to do is use the Phillips Device Manager after you hook it up to your computer it takes only a minute to repair it but when it does repair it erases all of your songs that were on the player.
I paid 30 dollars for it and it has lasted me since April 2006. Another plus about it is that it is very sturdy i dropped it tons of times and it still works.
