Rating: Summary: YP-20S Mini Yepp 64 MB Is Perfect (Almost) Review: I just got back from the gym. I ran 5 miles with my little Mini Yepp, most of the time I did not even realize I had it around my arm; it is so light and small. The rumors are true it burns batteries, but if you buy a battery recharger with the NiMH batteries your set. I was quickly able to pick up on how to use the buttons (After reading the mannuel). I was able to store over an hour on mine about 17 songs. I suggest you don't have the software scan your hard drive for music files the darn thing brought up every type of sound recording I had and put it in my playlist (6000+ files I had to sort through). Just click on add tracks and then go to the music directory and open it. Learn from my mistakes. Well, good luck in your MP3 player search (*Cough* YP-20 is the best *Cough) I hope this was useful. God Bless America Peace out. !AlphaZeta!
Rating: Summary: The Value leader & Boy was I impressed Review: First the weight. It's awesome. It's so light I don't even know I am carrying it. Second the sound. It's awesome. The Cure never sounded so good. Third, it tapes voices. Yep, it's a tape recorder too. Nothing this cheap does all three. Yea the software isn't the most intuitive but it does a good job & is easy to figure out within all of ten minutes. Yep, yep, yep. It's a great little thing. Whatever piddling things people complain about, remember, NO ONE can match this price WITH THESE FEATURES. Yep, yep, yep. Buy it.
Rating: Summary: All right for a starter MP3 Review: This is a fine purchase if it's your first MP3 but I've only had it for a couple months and I'm dying to upgrade already. The bad things...the system is horrible with battery power. You might as well invest in a battery company for all the money you spend on them. Secondly, the volume isn't all that. When you have it turned up as high as it can go, it still leaves a little to be desired when you're trying to hear your music over the noise at the gym. Another point, the memory isn't upgradable and you can never truly turn off the unit. A good thing is its small size which is great when you're working out. I would definately shop around more first than get this one.
Rating: Summary: WOW! Fantastic product, fantastic sound Review: The only problem would be memory but it's so easy to download different music I don't mind. I love the fact that I can, in minutes, pick out my workout songs and have a player so small and so light that I forget that it's there. I am absolutely nuts about this product.
Rating: Summary: Great for the gym, some drawbacks Review: If you are looking for an MP3 player to use at the gym, this player is perfect. It's tiny, light, and the sound quality is excellent. But I do have a few complaints:1. The unit can never be completely turned off. This is a pain if you don't plan to use it all the time. Also, the manual claims it will last 30 days in "clock mode" (off,) but mine only lasted for about 5 days. 2. The program the player comes with only allows you to rip 50 songs off of your CD collection before you have to PAY FOR AN ONLINE UPGRADE!! 3. As all earlier reviews have mentioned, the battery life is terrible. I would suggest buying some rechargeable batteries and a charger, or you'll end up spendind a lot on batteries. This is my first MP3 player, and despite these drawbacks, I am very satisfied. It is great for the gym, because it's light, small and never skips.
Rating: Summary: Samsung YP-20S 64 MB Mini Yepp MP3 Player Review: There are a number of problems I have with this product, the big one is the fact that I have to continually replenish my battery supply (I am estimating 1 battery for every two gym sessions). I also found the neck strap / cumbersome - it was only suitable if you were cycling or walking, as it started to bounce around once I started running with it. Overall, though, I think its size makes it so much better (for working out) than other mp3 players out there - and I don't regret getting it.
Rating: Summary: DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT Review: A few facts you should be aware of before you even think of buying this product or any of it's various incarnations: 1.) YOU CANNOT TURN IT OFF. If you want to turn it off you have to take out the 1 AAA battery which you will be doing a lot anyways since the battery burns out after about 1.5 hours of play. (Including SONY, Duracell and Energizer's best batteries.) 2.) The software that is ships with only lets you rip (convert to MP3) a limited number of songs and THEN YOU HAVE TO PAY FOR AN "UPGRADE" to convert any more of your own CDs. But don't worry about that if you have a MAC because the Mac software doesn't let you convert any of your CDs at all. 3.) DID I MENTION HOW IT GOES THROUGH BATTERIES? This thing could have 6 GB of memory and it wouldn't matter because you are only going to get about 1.5 hours at a time (that's if you take the battery out when you are not using it) ...Not only was I told that this thing lasted for hours (note more than 1) but they neglected to mention the "upgrade" you needed to use their (unusable) software or the fact that you will burn out your batteries because YOU CAN"T TURN IT OFF. I bought this expecting not a lot of memory but consistent performance and basic functionality. Instead I will end up spending more in batteries than I probably would have with a better player.
Rating: Summary: Love this little player- new to MP3's Review: I travel a great deal and was looking for a tiny MP3 to take on trips and workout with. I have the 64MB model and have roughly 2 albums worth of music on it. I'm new to MP3 technology and found the software very easy and intuitive. After roughly an hour I had started copying my CD's to MP3. It does come with an armband and pouch and the only downside is that this little sucker is a battery eater (to be expected because of the size) and the earphones fall out of my ears easily. I'll likely have to get a new set if I run or ski with it. Love the price. I'm very satisfied.
Rating: Summary: Samsung Yepp Review: I like this player because it is so small that it easily fits in your pocket. The sound quality is pretty good,(it is pretty much the same as i get from my portable cd player). The software that comes with it is pretty easy to use. It does eat batteries up pretty quickly. It can fit about 18-20 songs on it. I think it is a pretty good all-around player.
Rating: Summary: Rockin!! Review: If you want something to manage your MP3s and take care of all your audio needs, look elsewhere... If you want to play MP3s while you workout, or drop into your car player (with adapter of course) for an hour or two and that's all, this rocks!! The software that comes with it really blows but gets the job done, transfers are fast enough, but it really shines when your pumping in the weight room or running, really small, really light. I did not like the ear-buds it comes with (I just don't like ear-buds period), but a simple replacement for the Sony sport headset and I am thrilled. One note, if you have 18" arms or bigger, you will have to get creative with the arm-strap... oh well, I got it to work and stay in place well without cutting off the circulation to my hand.
