Summary: Not Mac ready
Review: It's a shame that such a nice USB MP3 player does not have software for the Macintosh. All Macs are USB ready. With OS X, writing software for such simple players is easy.

Review: I just bought this player from ..., as I wanted a media where I could transfer my favorite cuts from my CDs to the MP3 player. I ordered an additional 64 MGB smartcard. This thing kicks!! The software installation was easy. If you are a workout enthusiast like me, and want to only listen to certain cuts from your CDs, this is the way to go. I had to figure out what an USB port was on my computer, (on the back, never used it before), but after that, it was easy.I converted my CDs to 56K format MP3, which is the least clear, but gives you the most tracks for memory. I was able to put 13 tracks on the internal memory, and an additional 33 on the 64 MB smartcard. 46 tracks, what more do you need when you are working out for an hour or two? Plays crystal clear at the 56k compression. The headphones are short, but do give you good sound. I tried other headphones that I have, but they do not sound as good. It does come with a belt holder/clip, though it does not say it on the spec for ... Face it, you buy CDs, but only like 1 or 2 songs from it. This is the perfect tool to compile all of them in one place, and it is easy to use. The realplayer interface is great. Buy it!

Summary: Great Product
Review: This Mp3 player is a great deal. The one problem is that there are so many wires to deal with. Other than that, I highly recommend this product for anyone.

Summary: An Excellent MP3 player for the money
Review: This little player puts out more sound than players that cost quite a bit more. It's rated at 90db. And of course the price is very good. I bought a 64mb Smart Media card for $(...). So I now have a 96mb player for less than one C note. Plus sometime before MP3 players are a piece of ancient history Samsung will send out the free 32 mb card. I won't hold my breath. I'm sure it will take them forever to send it out. And yes the remote cord gets tangled with the headphone cord. It would have been much better for them to just put the LCD on the player. I think they were trying to be a little too cool. Who needs a remote for a player that can get lost in your shirt pocket? What were they thinking? A saving grace is that you don't realy need the remote for anything except seeing the battery indicator, track number, or setting the equalizer. And of course the ear bud headphones are a waste. They sound good but keep falling out of my ears. Bottom line is that this player is small, sounds excellent, and is cheap enough to get one even if you don't use these things that much.

Summary: Great little player, especially for the price
Review: I gave the Yepp Hip Hop 4 stars, because there are a few things I'd like to change, but when you factor in the low price, I could almost give it a 5 star rating. I had a D-Link MP3 player which used a parallel port connection and the Yepp's USB connection is much more reliable, though it's not as much faster as I'd expected. The Hip Hop is easy to load and use, I found the Yepp Explorer software to be much easier to use than the included Real Jukebox. Get Yepp Explorer (...) if it's not on your CD. Buttons on the player are well laid-out and easy to use. (although the mode and equalizer controls are on the remote only - but I never use those ) I just wish that the buttons on the remote were better placed,
the way I tend to hold the remote, it's far too easy to press stop accidentaly. The volume switch could be easier to use, too. The remote display only displays the track number and time, it would be better if it also displayed ID3 tags. Still not many budget players have remotes at all. The remote is really handy to have when the player is tucked away in a inside coat pocket or bag, and is something I appreciate even more now that the weather is turning cold and wet.

Summary: amazing MP3 player!!
Review: I bought this player as my first ever MP3 player and am extremely pleased so far. I bought this basically for somehting to listen to during my hour long commute in the morning to work and then back again. First of all it is tiny and light and very stylish with a nice little remote, but you dont even have to use the remote if you dont want to, with the way samsung set it up. I heard the basic criticisms of this unit were that it had small memory and its software is not easy to use. First of all the software thing is a complete lie. I already had real jukebox on my computer and so all i had to do was update it with the CDROM that came with the unit to recognize the samsung device. This took 2 minutes. Then all you do is click on jukebox from your list of songs and push one button to transfer! It literally took me exactly 6 minutes to download 8 songs to the player and you are ready to go! Its amazing. I'll admit 32 MB is way too small but with the rebate you get a free 32 MB card and this gives you 64 mb or one hour of listening time which is exactly what I need. I fit 16 songs on it. It literally takes 10 minutes to download the songs directly from the computer to the player and it does all the work for you so you just click and do something else for 10 minutes. The sound quality is really great too! For an entry level player at only 75 dollars this is a great buy. First time buyers get this player and make sure to get the free 32 MB card with the rebate.

Summary: Yes, 32mb is pathetic but.....
Review: everything else is great, except its low built-in memory.
but that's why theres something called "memory expansion"
just buy a smartmedia card (i recommend 64mb) and it's good to go. the player's pretty cheap, so buying a memory card wouldn't really hurt.

Summary: Impressive
Review: Nice player - very small, can’t even tell I’m wearing it (except for the music I suppose), sounds great, software is good, data transfer speed on my win 2k machine is tolerable. 32 MB is insufficient but cards can be added. Note that the 128 mb card is NOT COMPATIBLE. (...)

Summary: Pretty good entry level player
Review: The good:
I think this is one of the very first mp3 players?
It has pretty good sound quality, and the remote looks really good with the LCD display on it. With the current promotion of a free 32 mb smartcard, this is a really good deal. My pet peeves:
The unit itself doesn't have a display on it.
It doesn't display the song names, just the track number.
Remote wire and earphone wire keep getting tangled as the earphone goes into the jack on the remote. I think it would have been better to separate the two. And I don't know if this is true with other players, but removing and adding songs seem a bit slow. Is it the software that comes with it??? I mean the transfer rate itself is good, only it takes some time for it to start writing the song, and then when it's at about 95% completion, it stops for a while and then completes the write. It does this for every song, so if you have 10 songs, that's waiting 10 times at the start and 10 times at 95%. Is it this way with all mp3 players? I thought it would just be a matter of dragging/dropping the file into the software, and then it'd be done within a minute or so. Finally... I'm not sure if this is a feature in other mp3 players, but I was hoping I could delete the songs directly from the mp3 player itself... I'm a bit more picky about electronics than most people, but the mp3 player is a great deal at its price. It basically gets the job done without all the bells and whistles. So I give it 4 stars, since it's so darned cheap right now.

Summary: Almost Decent
Review: The design and sight of this baby are awesome. The battery life is also incredibly awesome. Yet it pains me to have to listen to the same mp3's over and over and over and over (you get the point) again. 32 mb is patheticly pathetic. You will like it for a month and then disregard as some type of trophy of technology. If you want something you could really use and teasure I would reccomend the Archos Jukebox Recorder. (6000 mb vs. 32mb) Just my $ 0.02
Kai Whatever is not nailed down, is mine.
Whatever I can pry loose... is not nailed down!
