Rating: Summary: Solid player Review: When, I ordered this mp3 player the first time, they sent me the wrong one. I called up Amazon.com and tried to get the model advertised, and they sent me the same model again. The model sent (Samsung Yepp yp-NDU28E I think) has only 64MB built in memory and a 64MB smart media card. Also, it did NOT have a remote or an FM tuner. I was thoroughly dissapointed twice. The model sent was ok, but I really wanted it for the built in memory. I probably wouldn't have minded that so much except the fact that this model can only take up to 64MB of expandable memory at a time. Actually, it was a good thing that they sent me the wrong one twice, (a sign from the gods) cause I got to looking at minidisc players. I ended up getting a Sony... I would recommend it to anyone looking for a portable digital music player to consider minidisc players. Why? Well, you're getting 10 times battery life off a single battery, and it plays many other formats including mp3 and wma. And each discs holds way more than a 128MB smartmedia card at $2 bucks each instead of $60 for the media card. If you're concerned about skipping, this model has skip protection. I have yet to receive the minidisc player, but I think I should be satisfied with it since I was mainly concerned about memory expansion. In Conclusion. Go minidisc. 10 times longer battery life. Cheaper media. Wider support for music formats. Supposedly, much faster music downloads. I hope this experience has helped.Rich
