Summary: A complete 3 month test review
Review: Bottom line: Great product for the money and the workout person.If you workout, like being outside, or anywhere that you would like to have your own personal music playing without looking like some kid from the 80's with a giant walkman strapped to themselves, then this is the product for you.
First off I want to be straight forward with the downsides to this product. The battery will not last long, unless you use Nihm batteries or if you do not run your Yepp at full volume. The programing that comes with the Yepp leaves some to be desired in music organization, but not much worse (or better) then say Windows media player or Real One. The last downfall is the limited controls.
After all those listed short commings of the Mini-Yepp why on earth would I give it 4 stars. Simple because I would give it 5 stars except for those three down falls each easily over come.
First of all think about what you are wanting to buy. This is not a multi-gig player for thosse long trips. This is a COMPACT SUPER LIGHT WEIGHT short term player. YOu can extend battery life by using Nihm batteries and not trying to blast the volume all the time.
The programing is simple but just takes time to set up play lists and search for files. The easiest way is to organize the files on your hard drive and add them via the program by searching your hard drive, rather than your data base (unless you have a very good preset up data base, like name, artist, and all that jazz).
The last problem being the limited controls only matters when you have time to play with them. For the most part this product is aimed at the on the go person who doesnt have time to program in different sound levels and playlists all the time.
The great things about this player is it's fast uploading, decent memory (64), size, adn weight. I personally use this for when ever I am working out, doing Kata (Karate dance), biking or hiking outdoors, and many more.
So if you want a great product to serve your 1hr to 2hr workout or what ever this is a great subtle MP3 player. I would suggest this product over most of the other small players, unless you are looking for the super hitech, long travel MP3 player.

Summary: Not worth the money
Review: The Good:
Small, lightweight, inexpensive
decent sound The Bad:
The battery life on this thing is awful. In under two hours the thing is completey drained. This is made worse by the fact that
even when it's "off" it still has an active display, further
draining the single AAA battery
Interface is not intuitive (then again what do you expect for something this small)
Headphones. Simply put, they stink. Those people with large ears may find them perfect though.
Memory size is limited, and not upgradeable. Conclusion:
The mini-yepp is an expensive, decent piece of equipment. However
it's not worth the money. Its performance does not meet the specifications that are outlined in the product description and I
would advise anyone looking for an mp3 player to avoid this model
unless they have money to burn.

Summary: Good but not great!
Review: Sound is very good but I cannot compare with other players because this is my first mp3 player. I like the style and portability of this player. Everything is fine except clumsy battery cover or battery pull out mechanism. Anyway this is fine mp3 player.

Summary: Great product to work out with!
Review: I shopped around a lot before I bought an MP3 player or CD Player to exercise with. I wanted lightweight, skip resitant (I haven't found a CD player yet that can absorb the shock/bounces during running)and able to hold at least an hour's worth of music. This fulfills them all - at 1.5 ounces it's the lightest player on the market, MP3s don't skip and 64MB holds an hour at CD quality(128 kbps) songs. The drawback is that it goes through batteries quickly - it uses one AAA battery. I use one per week(I work out every other day) - but, I can live with that - I don't have to worry about recharging, and that is a plus. Batteries are cheap. Contrary to the person who says the unit doesn't turn off - it does, in fact, turn off. Pause the unit, after about one minute it turns itself off(it still displays an LCD clock, but the player is off). This is a great unit!

Summary: Samsung YP-20S Mini Yepp Delivers
Review: I'm been shopping for a lightweight MP3 player for a while now. My purpose for buying one was to be able to use it while I work out. I found the YP-20S to be the best deal out there. At a mere 1.13 ounces (before one AAA battery) it is minimally noticable while jogging. In additional I've dropped it several times and found it to be very durable. These two factors alone are very important for those of you who plan to jog with it. In additional I found the sound quality to be great. For those reviewers who mentioned poor sound quality....it is surely the product of poor MP3 conversion. Also the software is very easy to use (plus no instrusive copy protection schemes)...just drag and drop your MP3s, I didn't have to ready the manual at all!! The only pitfalls are the minimal battery life. Now these can be made better by using rechargeable batteries. I use energizer rechargeables and get over two hours of play. I suggest only using Japanese made batteries that are non alkaline...there is a huge quality difference. And finally the headphones [don't work well]...you will surely have to spend $... on headphones that strap around your ear for the more athletic users. Overall this product is worthy of 5 stars. A definate buy! No one can beat the price.

Summary: Eats Batterys- Overall Great Player
Review: Well first of all, it's a great player. I would definitely recommend buying it. It holds about 20 songs, (give or take), and the sound quality is amazing. People said before that on max volume it isn't loud enough, but that is not true. It can EASILY be turned off, all you have to do is hold the pause button. I do suggest you buy many Duracell AAA's, because it only gets 1.5 - 2 hours of life per battery. The headphones are srt of crappy, the fall out and hurt, and one is longer than the other. Come's with an armband and a carrying case, both are good quality. The software to use it is amazingly easy and fat to download, and use. The Instruction Manual is easy too, it just took me awhile to set the date and time. Overall, it's a great player, well worth the money.

Summary: a runner's review
Review: after one year of use i can give you all you need to know about this product: the good: awesome for runners, lightweight and enough space for about 45-60 minutes of music. has made it through many rain showers without a problem.... although i doubt it is actually water proof. It has also played like a trooper through over 100 degree weather, and below zero too! the arm band makes carrying it easy. sound quality is the best i have heard from an MP3 player the bad: my biggest problem (which has me considering a different mp3 player) is the fact that normal over the ear headphones will not sound very loud. In order to get decent volume you must use the in-the-ear type of headphones which often fall out and are a hassel when running. Also you will waste countless batteries if you don't have a recharger (which is well worth the money). conclusion: after one year i am still very happy with it, but the volume could be better. This should only be bought by people who need a lightweight tiny MP3 player,

Summary: Very nice toy, however battery sucker
Review: I realy like the small size of this player. It's a great toy. I bought the player without the usb cable. Ouch! The cable cost me [$$$]. I can barely listen twice the 12 songs I downloaded and I have to change the battery. Don't buy this if you don't have a charger. I wish there was a 128Mb player.

Summary: Great Player with Caveat
Review: Nice for exercise and portability. Average about 8 full length songs, an hour + music at 64kbs. Go ahead and add on an extra [$$$] for rechargeable batteries, or you can expect to spend a lot more over time. Problem - there is no on/off switch so the battery drains rapidly unless it is physically removed. Needless to say I lost the battery cover. But I am satisfied with rechargeable batteries that last for about an hour and half. Great for exercise, but not a long flight without a bag of batteries and a real solid select a set compilation. I would buy another if I lost my current one, can't beat the price.

Summary: Yeah, I guess it's small...
Review: but that's about the only thing it has going for it. I'm currently waiting for the software to search my entire system to pick out every sound file that exists on it. I'm not talking about just MP3s, but every .wav and silly soundbyte that comes with Windows. This is funny to me since the player will only play MP3s. My advise to anyone looking at an MP3 player is to consider software. You can get used to small buttons and can buy better headphones, but you can't replace the bad software as easily. The Yepp player's software is so bad, that I'm convinced the programmers went out of their way to make it so. You can't drag and drop files into it, but instead have to parse through every sound file on your computer to find songs you want to download. My software took almost 20 minutes to search the computer for all the sound files and at the end I had 6000 files to search through. I have only a few hundred MP3s on my machine, so the rest of the files came from Windows and games that I installed years ago. This takes forever, when all I really want to do is go running, but it takes me half an hour just to pick songs and to download them all. To sum it up, the Yepp player is small and the sound is good, but it takes a half hour of frustration to get it to work. Plus the battery runs out after a short time. Pretty pathetic. I wouldn't buy this product again...
