Review: This player accomplishes alot for $299 from J&R Music world-available on this site.
1. it records mp3 files from cd (no pc needed) radio, vinyl, cassette
2. Plays mp3's and wma
3. works well with Napster
4. has fm -needs a more powerful transmitter but you can buy one for $20
5. Has tremendous storage
the ipod at $400 can't compete-espcially after since you are tied to the mac format.
Let's say you download a bunch of tunes from itunes and Napster.
Well, in three years let's say your ipod or Napster player stops working or you need more storage.
Guess what your options are-if you downloaded from itunes-you have one option-buy another overpriced ipod as the music you buy there only works on the ipod.if you download from Napster you can buy another Napster player or any of the 400 other players that play the Napster format.
(from Gateway, iriver, Rio, Dell HP etc) Also while you own the Napster player you can buy a small cheap 128 mp3 player that will work with the files you download from Napster. With Itunes you are stuck with the large ipod. For recording, compatibility and price the Napster player is a far wiser choice than the ipod.

Summary: Do NOT Buy the Samsung YP-910GS
Review: This has to be the worst MP3 player ever made! Mine has been in the shop THREE times in the six months I have owned it. Everytime it is the hard drive failing. This started out as a good idea but they missed the boat on this one. Samsung makes great other products but they should stay out of the MP3 player business. Buy a Rio or Ipod! I warned you!!

Summary: Do not waste your time
Review: This gets 2 stars because I really liked the hardware. Problem is, the software is from Napster and the hardware is from Samsung and even though they say they are in "partnership" the software doesn't work with the hardware at all.
Simple things like ripping a CD to the Samsung is a nightmare. The software acts like it's pulling CD data from CDDB, but it's not. You either get a garbled mess, or nothing. Even though the manual says that you can build a play list on your computer and then drag and drop it to the Samsung, you can't. In order to do practically anything, you have to sign in to Napster first.
And, of course, when you call for technical support, Napster blames Samsung and Samsung blames Napster. Both are pretty clueless.
Just get a standard MP3 player and forget about this Napster/Samsung stuff.

Summary: Buy some thing else
Review: To start the FM receiver is weak and the tramsmitter is even worse. I can have the player next to the antenna and it still gets over powered by local stations. I never got any downloads from napster and didn't care for about all of the songs that came preloaded. I had to send it back to Samsung because I had problems tranfering music files. It won't do some tranfers unless your logged on to Napster. There was no mention that you needed to be logged on to transfer music. When I got it back I still had trouble tranfering files. One of the worst purchases I have made. The only good thing is that Samsung has good tech support and customer service personel.

Summary: a great product, when it works
Review: I have had mine for about 60 days now and it just broke today.
I truly loved this player. I had great features and could seamlessly import playlists from Napster. There must be a reason why they don't make this one anymore...
There are tons of refurbished players on the market. Guess why?

Summary: DISAPOINTED
Review: BUY SOMETHING ELSE - DO NOT PURCHASE THIS ONE. There are plenty of other choices and I am so disapointed that I chose this one! The FM transmitter, which is the reason I chose the YP-910GS is abslolutly useless - no volume and no treble. The unit itself and full of bugs (crashes when you turn it on and has to be reset) and Samsung provides little to no support.
STAY AWAY!

Summary: Sadly, I'm Abandoning Napster Because of This Product
Review: I bought a reconditioned YP-910GS from an Amazon dealer. Unit works fine (although I agree with other reviewers that the FM transmitter's too weak); problem is that the current edition of the Napster software won't recognize it (though an earlier edition did, which permitted me to load some songs). Customer Service made an initial attempt to solve the Napster software problem, then went silent. Since the Napster software interferes with all attempts to load even Napster-purchased tracks onto the unit via WMP or any other way, I'm stuck with $90 worth of Napster songs that I can't get onto the unit. I've thrown my hands in the air and downloaded I-Tunes (which, of course, doesn't like the Napster tracks, either).

Summary: Much Better Than iPod
Review: There are a b'jillion MP3 players out there. I have wanted one for about a year, but this one had an FM transmitter, which is what really seperates it from the pack (well, that & the integration with Napster, which didn't matter to me). I wanted to be able to listen to this in my car, at home, wherever. And the FM transmitter should make that easy -- you don't have to carry anything else; just the unit. Without going on too much, here's why I'm returning it: 1) The FM transmitter is very poor. It's not just that the range is short (which it is), it also has crackling static all the time, regardless of which station I selected, and regardless of how close I put the unit to my receiver/antenna. This was the case both in my car and on my 2 home radios. I could hear my music well only if I turned the radio way up and had the unit within 1 foot of the receiver. Even then there was an annoying static noise going all the time. 2) I had to reformat it -- twice -- and I only had this thing for about 36 hours. When I downloaded my MP3s to it, everything seemed fine, but then when I would try to disconnect the device I kept getting "Cannot disconnect right now" messages. The software said it was finished transferring -- I waited another hour, nothing happened -- so I shut down my PC & disconnected. None of my files were on the unit. I could see them in Win Explorer, but they wouldn't play on the unit. Reformatting fixed this, but wiped the drive clean & I had to start over. Second time worked with a transfer of 100 songs. Then when I tried to transfer the rest -- another reformat. 3) You can only load music (even your own MP3s that you ripped from your own CDs) through the Napster software, and the Napster software sucks. It froze on me several times, wrote corrupted files to the MP3 device, and is generally slow. I did upgrade the software which improved the speed & stability a bit. But now that I'm returning the player, you can bet that I'll be removing Napster from my PC. Anyway, that's it. I'm really disappointed -- all I was looking for was an MP3 player with a (decent) FM transmitter. If I was just a little geekier I could probably make this at home. I hate that the only player on the market with a transmitter is so unreliable & has such poor sound on the transmitter.
