Philips GoGear Spark 2GB MP3 Player

It’s hip to be square with the GoGear Spark! Your compact music pal comes with FullSound™ and comfy high quality earphones for excellent sound on the go. Mix it up with Album Art, Songbird and FM Radio for unlimited fun and entertainment.

Fullsound™ to bring your MP3 music to life
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).

Soft rubber earbuds for comfortable listening
Soft rubber earbuds let you enjoy your music in comfort. A soft rubber cap encapsulates each earbud, and gently adjusts to the shape and size of your ear. It provides a soft cushion that makes listening through painful headphones a thing of the past.

FM radio with RDS and 20 presets for more music options
RDS (Radio Data System) is a communications protocol standard that allows digital information to be transmitted over FM radio broadcasts. RDS-enabled FM radio receivers can display this useful information that includes station identity, program details and song title and artist, etc. At anytime, you can store a desired station as a preset channel on your GoGear 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 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.

Up to 22-hour music playback
This player's long-lasting power comes in the form of 22 hours of continuous music playback on just one single charge.

Philips Songbird: one simple program to discover, play, sync
One simple, easy-to-use program that comes with your GoGear player, Philips Songbird lets you discover and play all your media, and sync it seamlessly with your Philips GoGear. Its intuitive and powerful music management features let you discover new artists and music styles directly in the program through music and media stores, services and websites. Play your own library and media from the internet and seamlessly sync all of it from your PC to your Philips GoGear.

Folder view to organize and view media files like 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 is as easy as selecting the file and hitting Play.
