Simply good mp3 players for everyday life

Sometimes all the simple things, this includes the MP3 player Philips SA 1922. The unit let operate as you want it so easy. A few control buttons, a small and therefore power-saving display of the necessary information, 2GB memory, an internal rechargeable battery with good maturity and a stable metal case result in a small space a player for all those who just want to play only their music or audio books. The Philips SA 1922 is actually a cheaper iPod Schuffle with display.

Software are provided in addition to the player (actually used me only for firmware updates via Windows), USB cable and not at all times sooo bad headphones.

Loading the player via USB cable Battery, just come by the USB MP3 or WMA songs on the device. Microsoft Windows (XP, Vista) and MacOSX (eg 10.5) recognize the player as a disk drive, just so that the tracks can be dragged onto the player via drag & drop.

One can play his songs either created folder or sorted by artist, album and more. For this purpose, it is sometimes best to allocate the songs ID3 tags, but this is not a requirement. Particularly interesting for audiobook fans: The unit plays the current track continues where it was turned off.

The sound is quite good in my opinion with the onboard tools. From me-heard rock, classical, jazz, pop and voices sound neat and relatively tired depending equalizer setting. If it sounds hollow and tinny, it is here more like a crummy MP3 file.

By means of the 4-way rocker, the Play button and the back button is easy to navigate through songs, folders and menu. The system menu is short, easy to understand and the equalizer with his diverse preferences can help secure something.

Positives:
+ Robust metal housing with small dimensions
+ Small Info display with auto-shutoff
+ Good battery life
+ Good sound
+ Very easy to use with just a few keys
+ Plays after switching songs since continued where it was turned off
+ Per Windows Explorer or Mac Finder to easily loaded
+ Key lock via slide switch

Negatives:
- Volume may be slightly higher (especially with soft audiobooks)
- Short USB cable - but can be easily replaced by prolonged
- Data transmission bit slow despite USB 2.0
- The rocker is possibly a bit small for larger fingers
- Unwanted Songs can not be deleted in the player itself

Conclusion:
For journeys in the bus / train to work, during sports, leisure, etc., the small device can make the best use. The "negative" items listed can be in everyday imperfection. Who really only want to listen to music and look for a device without a lot of bells and whistles, which is the best advice here. Also the price is great.
