Rating: Summary: mixed bag if you want to convert your cds Review: The sound quality, easy-to-use software and compact size of this MP3 are great features. I found the controls on the player itself kind of awkward, but the thing that really disappointed me was the fact that the software only allowed me to convert 50 cd tracks to MP3 files. I have a great library of music I want to take with me when I run and I don't relish the idea of paying more to be able to listen to them. I thought that's what I was buying an mp3 player for! I also found the tech support available from the website marginal at best. FAQ's didn't even address the question and I'm still waiting for a reply to my e mail. Bottom line: unit itself is pretty good. Software is limiting, but easy to use.
Rating: Summary: Yes and no Review: I love the gadget, but the software is incomprehensible. They tried to get cute with it, but ends up being all but unusable. And it locks up my system to the point where the only way to reboot is to literally unplug the CPU.
Rating: Summary: MP3 Player is Great - Software is questionable Review: Let me start off by saying I'm thrilled w/ this MP3 player. I mainly wanted to customize my list of songs I listen to while running, and it's great. YOu can't even tell you're carrying it. Yes, the headphones are not good and the batteries run out quickly, but read any of the reviews and you can easily combat these problems. My main problem w/ this MP3 player is the software. You need to purchase the upgrade software after 50 "reads." Unfortunately for me, Rioport, the software mfr. does not currently offer an upgrade, so I need to buy a completely new sw package. I am new to the mp3 thing, and after several calls to both Samsung and Rioport (as well as emails), I have come to this conclusion. Customer support for both Samsung and Rioport is SLOW. Overall - great little mp3 player. Be aware of the software issues.

Rating: Summary: Cute toy but too chock full of bugs. Review: This 64 meg mp3 player is nice in certain aspects. The size is great, it's smaller and lighter than an egg. The 64 meg storage is nice if all you listen to are 3 to 5 minute songs at 128 kbps. You can probably get 10 to 12 songs on it, pefect for a workout or a short trip. If you're willing to sacrifice sound quality for storage you could cram a lot on this thing at 96 kbps. Its battery life is terrible though, chewing up AAAs like candy. Sound quality is better than I expected, almost on par with my discman. The huge problem is with the way the player reads mp3s. It can be inconsistent at times, returning a message of "bad song" or "wrong fls" while refusing to play. Samsung's troubleshooting indicates that it's probably a problem with the file, but even files encoded using their included software can have the problem. The player will not play one minute and the next turn right around and play the very same files it was just giving an error msg on.
Rating: Summary: wonderful Review: It's cool. After i unpacked the package, i found the really smallest cool mp3 players. The band is also good and the software is very easy to use.
Rating: Summary: Good, but clunky software interface Review: A great lightweight companion for my jogs. I am a 225 pound bodybuilder who is cutting weight and every CD player on the market skips. I needed an MP3 player that is lightweight and cheap. This one fits the bill. Beside the bad headphones, and need for rechargeable batteries, I don't like how I have to use the software provided to load songs. I have close to 10,000 songs in my RealJukeBox Plus program, but there is not a supported plug in for it in RealJukeBox. ... If it were not for the clunky software interface, I would give this 5 stars.
Rating: Summary: bought it to work in a loud place Review: My 1st MP3 gadget. I work on a large network and some of the closets/rooms are extremely loud so I bought a set of Sony MDR-NC5 Noise Canceling Headphones and the YP20S. The headphones significantly help (don't expect too much) and the YP20S fits unnoticed in my shirt pocket. It's loud enough for me. It eats batteries but is good enough for my 1-2 jobs in a closet. The poor controls are only surpassed by the poor manuals/software but you don't need to use the controls all that much.
Rating: Summary: A solid mp3 player Review: I am really satisfied with my yepp. It's tiny and really easy to put in your pocket. It only requires one AAA battery, in contrast to a lot of players that require two batteries. Also, the yepp lasts for a while on that battery (and if you get rechargeable batteries, it costs next to nothing to use). The software for downloading mp3's to the yepp is a little tricky, but once you get the hang of it it's not so bad. And it's much more powerful than other software I've used. The only drawback is that you can't add more memory. But the 64 megs is enough to hold 15 or so songs, so it's not really necessary.
Rating: Summary: Really small, good mp3 Review: This mp3 is really small and handy. You can exercise with it pretty easily. The price is good.
