Features

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). The result is fuller bass with more depth and impact, boosted voice and instrument clarity, and rich detail. Rediscover your compressed MP3 music in true-to-life sound that will touch your soul and move your feet.

FM radio with 30 presets for more music options
Digital FM radio offers you additional music options to your music collection on your GoGear. Simply tune into the station that you want to preset, press and hold the preset button to memorize the frequency. You can preset up to 30 radio stations and enjoy your favorite programs whenever you go.

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.

LikeMusic for playlists of songs that sound great together
LikeMusic lets you experience more of the music that you like most – with just a click! No need to sort through your music library or wait for serendipity to strike. LikeMusic is a Philips patented algorithm that analyzes songs in your library to identify similar music characteristics. These characteristics help LikeMusic create smart playlists of songs that simply sound great together. Just click on a song that you like and hit the LikeMusic icon – a playlist will instantly appear. Give it a name and enjoy your new playlist – or rediscover songs – on your PC or your GoGear player.

Quick 6-minute charge for 60 minutes of play
Sometimes, you just need your GoGEAR player to take you from home to office and back again or for a short run – but you forgot to charge it last night. Say goodbye to frustration and boring, silent journeys with Fast Charge. Philips’ smart and convenient solution lets you plug your GoGEAR to your PC or USB charger for just 6 minutes and in return, you get a whopping 60 minutes of audio playback! Fast Charge works by relying on much higher current levels to give your lithium-ion battery the power it needs to tide you over in a jiffy … and keep the music going.

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 (i.e. music, pictures or videos) is as easy as selecting the file and hitting Play.
