Rating: Summary: Only looks like a toy. Review: When I took it out of the box, I thought it was a McDonalds Happy Meal Toy. It is really small and light. I had it set up and down loading in 5 minutes! It took about 10 minutes to download 15 4+ minute songs. The sound is great but a little rough at 96Kbps. Songs recorded at 132Kbps sounded flawless, but of course you lose capacity. Overall, a great little MP3 player.
Rating: Summary: Good but... Review: This is a pretty good player, MUCH MUCH better than the Nike PSA Play 120. The downloads are quicker, it's more reliable (I've gone through 3 PSA Plays) and it seems to have more bass and it sounds great. HOWEVER, it eats batteries, the price may seem really good, but watch out for batteries, sometimes it won't even last more than 2 hours on one regular battery, I've gotten it to last a little more using duracell ultra's but it's battery life sucks.
Rating: Summary: Mini Yepp a neat little player Review: I just received my Yepp today and after running tonight I have installed the software, downloaded music onto it and am listening to it as I write this review. The software is easy to use, the user's guide is well written and illustrated making it easy to follow and download MP3 files already on your computer. So far, against product reviews I have read, I am very happy with the ease of use and sound. I have read product reviews that stated the sound was poor quality, but there are four settings on the Yepp to change the equalizer. The only complaints I have are more with design for wearing the product. Although I haven't actually tried it out on the road yet, I wish it had a belt clip attached to it. The pocket that comes with it seems small--you practically have to stuff the Yepp in it and that seems to depress the forward button on the unit. The arm band also is a bit cumbersome as is the earplug unit--the wires attaching to the earpieces have one a lot longer than they other--they are assuming you are using the arm band as opposed to just carrying it. Other than that, the unit seems great.
Rating: Summary: Great for a small, light mp3 player. Review: If you want a small mp3 player that's easy to take on the go, get this one. As always, there are some trade-offs in getting a player that's this small. The interface is not very easy to use - it's not very intuitive how to change the play settings and use the buttons to navigate through the menus. The equalizer is ok, but not that great. There are not a lot of extra features (e.g. progamming a playlist). This does not bother me, as I use mine at the gym and during my commute, and am not interested in having a lot of features. What I want is something that is small, that is light, and that I don't notice. For that, this is a good product. One other thing - the software you use to load the songs onto the player is atrocious. It gets the job done, of course, but you'll fine it's not easy to learn to use, and it's not too flexible.
Rating: Summary: The best MP3 player I have ever seen Review: The best MP3 player i have ever seen. Sound is great at 128kb and it is considered one of the smallest MP3 player in the world!!! My friend bought Sony instead of Samsung and now he keeps saying that he should have bought Samsung because Sony MP3 player can only be downloaded with their own file format. that means whether you have MP3,WAV, or WMA, you have to encode into sony unique files and it takes really long time to do it. Every each file should be encoded into sony preferred file. Samsung's yepp software it's so easy as 1,2,3. You just have to click one button to transfer songs into portable samsung yepp player. I heard a lot from web site about this little samsung's yepp player that its sounds quality isn't good as they expected, but that's not true. Excellent sound quality at 128kb, good at 96kb, and bad at 56kb. It also has equalizer, repeat, forward and backward, time, date, etc. Fast downloading by USB connection. I love this. If five stars is the best rating, i would give 6 stars.....
Rating: Summary: Best mp3 I've tried so far Review: I've bought Sony mp3 player before but i returned after i found i had to translate mp3 into special format, then i bought Rio but i returned it as well...to big and too much money for only 32 mb. Samsung's YP-20s is the best mp3 player out in the U.S. market right now. it's small...its software is very easy to use.. music trasfer is fast..music quality is great and it's cheap! i would recommend this player to anyone who's considering Sony or Rio.
Rating: Summary: Why it's cheaper? Review: Why is cheaper the new baby yeep than the YP-NEU (hip hop Blue)? They have +- the same features, but the baby has shorter dimensions. So the baby would be more expensive, and it isn't. I don't know why... can anybody tell me? my mail.. you know Kredovian@hotmail.com (excuse my poor english)
Rating: Summary: You exercise -- this player is for you. Review: Pros: ===== * This player is extremely light. This makes it fantastic for exercising. This is by far its best feature. * Fast USB connection. * Good LCD for a player this small. * Battery indicator is fairly accurate. * Sounds great at 128, good at 96, terrible at 64 bit rate. * Handles Variable Bit Rate (VBR) which will save you some space and still have superior sound. * EQ fairly good. * Battery connections seem to be no noncorrosive -- so far no sign of corrosion from sweat on battery connections. Cons: ===== * No holder to snap onto your belt or shorts. Easily solved -- the player is about the same size as a beeper so use a beeper holder. * Even at max volume not loud enough. * The headphone cord is somewhat long for jogging. * The battery runs out quickly. About 45min for a normal. rechargable AAA, about 3Hrs 45min with a brand new Duracel. This is at full volume. * No memory expansion possible. * Software included is ok but not great. Update on 1/25/02 -- Solution for battery! ========================================== I have now been using this player for quite some time. I have dropped it twice on a concrete floor in the garage and it survived it without problems -- maybe got lucky but seems to hold up well. Apple's iPod is definitely the coolest player out there but all that weight and size makes it no competition for this player in terms of serious exercising like running a marathon and at a 1/3 the cost. It is so light and easily concealed I am still impressed with it. With 64MB you can fit about 80min on it long enough for most runs. The big issue if you have read most of he reviews is the drainage of batteries. It is true it does drain a regular alkaline AAA pretty quickly BUT this is easily solved. For [a reasonable price] you can get 4 rechargeable AAA NiMH batteries. Good for a little less than 16 hours of music! So one battery lasts almost 4 hours and they can be recharged between a 100 and 1000 times so I think it boils down to like 1 or 2 cents of battery cost per hour. NiMH have no memory effect which is important -- note the NiMH is important (don't go with NiCad they don't last long and most have a memory effect). I think these NIMH batteries are better than brand new alkalines.... Sounds technical but really easy solution.
Rating: Summary: The best MP3 player on the market Review: This is the best mp3 player on the market now. It offers great portability, it is very easy and intuitive to use. The display is crisp and clear and easy to read. The shape of the player makes it comfortable and its weight - it is only 1 ounce! - makes it easy to attach to your belt which I think is one of its greatest advantages. The memory is twice that the previous model has and is enough for 1 hour and a half of music. I use this player instead of my heavy and bulky CD player while I jog in the GYM because it is skip proof and extremely light.
Rating: 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.
