Summary: I thought it was exactly 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.

Summary: Good player, poor software
Review: I like this player much, but I have to say that getting my songs on it has been a real pain. The unit is translucent blue, very pleasant at touch. The buttons are small and difficult to differentiate, except the play button. There is no LCD on the player itself, only a small one on the remote that displays the track, the time, the battery remaining and the options. Some buttons are present only on the remote control. The unit and the remote can be hold independantly (very good). A pair of AAA batteries is included in the package, but I found they didn't last long. The batteries that I bought appear to have a much longer life. The purchase of a battery charger with batteries seems a good option, even more when you know that there is no power connector. Transfer with the PC is done through an USB connection. Depending on your computer, it can be painfully slow or rather reasonable (I have seen 400Kbps and 1.2Mbps). The Yepp needs to be powered by batteries during the transfer. In my case, it did not work out of the box. I had to phone Samsung support to be sent by e-mail the Windows 2000 driver (BTW, Macintosh is not supported). .. Then, the transfer program (yepp Explorer) is not very ergonomic, if simple. The most painful is that after each operation (moving, deleting, copying each file) it takes an awful long time refetching the listing of files. The documentation is almost inexistant. Mp3 files are renamed with .sm3 extension on the Yepp to be played. You can generate them with the included RealJukebox. I for myself use CDex with gogo engine, that is very fast. The problem is that I cannot retrieve the mp3 files from the Yepp, because this necessitates SecuMAX algorithm (included in RealJukebox). All mp3 files can be played, though. The player can hold other data too. The player uses SmartMedia cards for memory extension. It will not accept cards that don't have an ID (printed on the card). Also, the cards need to be specially formatted for the Yepp, and so they cannot be used with other devices than the player. The sound quality is very good. I never had to push the sound to the maximum, but I guess that some will find the volume too limited. There are four predefined modes: Classic, Jazz, Rock and Normal. Overall, I like the player a lot, it is really cool. On the other hand I loathe the software that comes with it.

Summary: this is a great product!
Review: i own a 64mb yepp player....my only problem is that 64mb (64 min.) is not enough time. but, if that's my only problem, then it's obvious that this is an excellent buy.

Summary: Samsung Yepp really is Hip-Hop!
Review: I purchased the Samsung Yepp 64MB player for my 15 year old daughter in December. She had very little problems following instructions and downloading her favorite songs. She is a runner and enjoys listening to music. It has been excellant! We did purchase a different head set, but other than that, I would highly recommend it to anyone! The best part for me was Amazons great price.

Summary: Nice Features, awkward record/transfer
Review: I really like the weight/size. It is great for exercising, especially running. The set up using Real JukeBox was very frustrating (and I am a programmer). I'm not sure if there is an alternate way of loading the files, but RealJukebox is a nightmare. Expect to spend about 2 hours minimum to record and load your music.

Summary: I Love my Hip Hop Yepp
Review: I received a 64mb Yepp Hip Hop player as a Christmas gift. It's got a great look. People are always stopping me at the gym to ask about it. It is so small and light. I don't know how I ever bothered with the portable CD player I used to use. The sound is amazing. When I have shown it to other people, they are just blown away by how great it sounds. Being able to hold 2 hours worth of music in such a small space is fantastic. My only beef with it is that the instructions are weak and the manual doesn't help with the setup much. The realjukebox software is not great and I had to fiddle with it to figure out how to download songs to the player. But, once I figured it out, it works perfectly. Oh, and I haven't yet had to change the battery, which is amazing...I was going through batteries every week with the CD player. Overall, a great buy!

Summary: Buggy
Review: I used this player for approximately 30 hours. To get those 30 hours of music, it required at least 12-16 hours of maintenance, research on the web and re-adding files to the player.
Though, never mentioned in any documentation I found, the player's software is extrememly sensitive to the order in which you disconnect the player from your USB port and close the desktop software. This problem eventually locked the player into a mode I can not break it out of. When powered on, the red light never goes off and the player responds to nothing.
I've purchased a new Rio player and love it. I didn't have the patience to make any more of a time investment into a player with minimal funtionality and a limited storage capacity. Sorry, Samsung.
PS - I made the mistake of buying this from a retail store instead of Amazon, and they won't help me at all! Amazon is more reliable for purchase support and rectification of disgruntlement than any other large-scale vendor I've dealt with.

Summary: Worked for what I wanted...
Review: I was looking for a lightweight MP3 player that I could use while jogging, but that had some actual capacity. The sound is great, it's light, battery longevity is great, and the cheap plastic belt clip that came with it actually works. The "hold" button helps keep the device from turning on accidentally (easy to do with that big play button)... okay now the gripes: that belt clip doesn't fit very well, especially over the display connector. That whole separate LCD display thing doesn't work for me either... I'd rather have it on the device itself. I never use it. And I'd like it to display song names, not just numbers. It came with Real Jukebox, which is no longer supported by Real Networks(and the new "RealOne" doesn't support the Yepp either). And, I'm worried about the batter cover... I have a feeling it will break soon. But so far, I love it!

Summary: thinking about buying from samsung? think again!
Review: I've been through THREE Samsung players in the past year. Each time there's been a problem, Samsung has been reasonable about exchanging the unit for a new one, that is until the warranty ran out last month! Now I'm on my own! The battery latch is not designed well at all, and mine broke after a 1 foot fall. Also, the headphone jack isn't well soddered so the stereo sound keeps kicking in and out. And don't think you can get your YEPP player fixed if something does go wrong after your warranty expires, their "service" department simply replaces defective units under warranty and recommends that you buy another one if anything goes wrong afterwards! Talk about a company that won't stand behind its products!

Summary: Definitely the best mp3 player
Review: I've had a rio 600, and it was good at first until it broke. The Yepp is awesome. It has a ton of great features, and only a couple bad ones that arent a big deal, but you just wish it had them. The sound is awesome and is WAY loud, it looks cool(the 1st day I had it 6 people asked what it was), it's very durable, and the software that comes with it is really good.(It comes with an -mp3,rmx- extractor/"ripper"<---for all the posers). Whoever says to transfer songs, it takes about 2 hours is wrong(unless they are running 90mhz processors or something), because I filled up the whole 64mb and my 32mb smartmedia card(which the software detected without a problem) in about 10-15 minutes. One of my favorite things is that when you are playing the YEPP, a green light flashes and looks cool.(its red when the USB cable is hooked up)
The only reason I give the YEPP a 4 is for a couple reasons. 1) the buttons are pretty small(no big deal) 2) I'm left-handed and the remote is backwards when i look at it(no big deal) 3) The software is sort of a pain to get going(just read the instructions), but this is partially due to the fact that I run Windows 2000.
