Rating: Summary: Excellent product Review: After much deliberation I bought this player last summer to use while running and working out, and so far I absolutely love it. I ditched the headphones that came with it because I didn't like the earbud style, and I never use the remote because I don't really see the point. Other than that, the sound quality is superb, and it is light enough that I can't feel it clipped on when I run. I think the software is very easy to use, but for a computer novice I can see where it might be a little confusing at first. I have friends and family who have purchased other brands and comparing this one to theirs, I highly recommend this player.

Rating: Summary: It looks great, but does it work great... Review: First of all, this product looks good and feels good. It fits snuggly on your belt, or does not take up much room in your pocket. The hardware buttons, while small, are manageable. That said, this product has several problems. First of all, the software that is included for managing the MP3 collection on the unit, RealJukebox, is below par. The software is ugly, is hard to use, and is slow. The connections between your computer and the unit are slow: figure on about 15-20 minutes to delete 15 mp3s and install 15 mp3s. I am also having trouble with the software mysteriously cancelling transfers and giving me cryptic error messages. Beyond the faults of the third-party software, the manual included with the device is not very good either. It comes folded up into a little roll. The troubleshooting it gives you is useless; the solutions they suggest could be figured out by anyone with a brain. Attempting to find some useful customer support, I went to the company's website. ... Again, it was rather poor. When I finally found the Yepp's page, no support links were given. Overall, the customer support and software for this unit are bad, but the player itself is excellent. The sound quality is very good, and the battery time is sufficient. With better peripherals, this unit could be a best seller.
Rating: Summary: Excellent Mp3 Player, Worth Every Penny Review: First off, I just wanted to say that you do NOT need the included software to upload songs to the player. As it is very cumbersome, it isn't required. If you go to samsungyepp.com and go to support, you can download the program for it. But aside the horrible software included, it's absolutley the best mp3 player out on the market. Sporting a funky, hip looking blue case, it makes it seem like nothing on the competition can beat it in that division. The sound quality on the unit is very good, especially with the equalizer funcitons. The included remote is another plus in that it has a backlight and easy to read. Only one complaint for the remote is that it's sorta hard to navigate, considering the diminutive size of the buttons. Samsung's main focus on this player is clearley implied that they wanted to keep it simple but still with power. Your truly getting your money's worth for 64mb for mem. Also, If you hurry up and buy it before 12/31/01, you can get a free smart media card. Don't pass up on this one, get it while's its still available. Positives: + Small, funky Design + Great sound + Useful, remote + Great Price + Good Quality Negatives: - Earphones uncomfortable - Buttons on remote and unit small
Rating: Summary: BATTERY DOOR/COVER... BAD CONCEPT! Review: I bought the Yepp for my wife last Christmas, who has used it daily without issue. Due to it's light weight and small size, she comfortably wears it at the gym and while running on the track. Loading music has been simple and trouble free, and the sound is excellent. Battery life has been longer than anticipated - averaging about 20 hours of playtime between changes.

Rating: Summary: No XP Drivers Review: I bought this as an X-mas gift for family. Found out that there were no XP drivers available. Customer service told my bro that they had no intention of developing any.
Rating: Summary: Beware XP user!! Review: I bought this product last year and was very happy with it. Sure the Real Jukebox software was clumsy and the USB transfer rate is slow, but anyone can overcome that. What you can't overcome is using this product after upgrading your OS to XP. I reloaded the Jukebox software that came with the unit and couldn't get the thing to read out the song list or re-format to change out the songs. After upgrading to RealOne, I discovered there is no support for the Samsung Yepp Hip-Hop 64. Now I have to listing to the same 20 songs over and over and over again.

Rating: Summary: Worked for what I wanted... Review: I had the same problem others have - I upgraded to RealOne without realizing that it wouldn't support the player. When I uninstalled RealOne and tried to put RealJukebox back, it won't install properly, so I can't change the music on my machine. Very frustrating. If someone has a solution, let me know.
