Summary: Wonderful...once you get past the software
Review: Beautiful design, highly functional, 2 hours of MP3's w/ no chance of skipping in one of the smallest units you can by. Eats AAA's pretty quick...8-10 hrs at most? And the software is not real intuitive and it tended to spontaneously shut down at the most awkward times. System 9 or less only support for Macs...perhaps it would be more stable once System X software comes out. Once you get past the longer than it should take downloading, it works flawlessly and sounds great. Upgrade the software and it would be a solid 5.

Summary: DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT
Review: Bought the Yepp player today. Got it home, had trouble installing the drivers and once they were installed, the device slowed my computer's performance GREATLY. Then had to call technical support to get help transferring files over. Had to "Copy" then "Paste" every single mp3 file to the player. I removed the player from the USB port and went to turn it on and it would not! A fresh battery did not solve this problem. Called tech support again and they told me to return the item to where I bought it--said it was "defective" and did not act surprised about it. DO NOT BUY THE SAMSUNG YEPP MP3 PLAYER!!!!!

Summary: Korean can't make mp3
Review: I bought it and 3 hrs later I decided to return it. Why?
- It was easy to install the software into my computer, however cannot find the program that can transfer the file from computer to mp3, the program that was install in there was how to format.
- No FM radio (well I know this when I first look at it)
- The piece is small, but seem so fragile, felt like you can crash it by just holding it tight.
- The design was good thou, small and convinent
- Made my computer crashed, after installing the software
- Not user friendly

Summary: Let the buyer beware
Review: I bought this model 'cause I wanted a pendant.
(Mine is a YP-N30H, which looks identical to several other models).
However, there is limited functionality with the software on this product - it needs improving.
For example you cannot arrange the order of the songs.
You can't copy anything across from the player onto a PC because of the security key.
So forget about uploading a fav. song for a friend.
A shame since mp3 is designed to be portable. There are other annoying (small) bugs.
For some reason the playlist on the player doesn't always start at the first song
(it always starts at the last track that was playing, which I like).
After loading new songs, turning it off and unplugging from the PC, it starts automatically,
you have to wait the several seconds for the operating system to load, then turn it off again.
Sound quality : Good Enough
Looks: Good
Earphones: Good enough
Functionality: It works but it doesn't thrill
Software: FairPostscipt: To their credit, Samsung (Hong Kong - I bought this player duty free in HK) have responded with the following:
Hi Richard,
After discuss to our MP3 Engineers, here are solution and for your reference.
1. Sorting Problem.
sol: Numerical sorting function in our MP3 player.
When you create a file name, pls add a index for this
file. (example: "My Song" modify it into "01.My Song" )
After adding it, the MP3 player will sorting this index automatically.
2. Song can't upload.
sol: Samsung works with the music industries to prevent
uploading of music to any form of storage devices in order to
protect copyrighted material. In assuming all customers have
the original music tracks, our company aims is to encourage
our customers to respect copyrighted music.
3. Normal playback function
sol: The feature of MP3 player is not similar to another
portable device (such as Discman, MD Player). MP3 player need
a start index signal to operate real time decoding data when you playback MP3 song. So there are not many MP3 players have
Normal Mode playback even other brand (for example: Sony,
JNC, etc).
4. Machine restart
sol: Maybe you think this function is quite annoying. But
anyhow this software implement can improve the stability of
data storing. This action will refresh the flash memory once
again to improve consistency of MP3 data to prevent mistake occur.
Pls feel free to contact our service hotline if you need further assistance

Summary: Engineering Marvel!!
Review: I couldn't ask for better! I travel A LOT on business and wanted an MP3 player that was small, but still offered capacity for workouts on the road. 128MB will buy you about 1 1/2- 2 hours of music (One AAA battery gives me about 4-5 hours of listening time). Great for workouts, but small enough to fit in your laptop case, toilet kit, etc. No hassles with it at airport security, which is a plus for me. The computer/player interface is easy to use and quick. I can freshen up the tunes whenever I get home in less than 10 minutes. I agree with others who recommend downloading the YEPP Explorer software from the SamSung website...it's more user friendly than that supplied with the installation CD. A highly recommended buy. Plus...it looks cool too!! Only problem is the supplied armband is a little tight for anyone who has other than "Stick-Man" arms - but a little readjustment will keep the blood flowing.

Summary: Best of show
Review: I did an enormous amoutn of research for the best overall MP3 player out there and this was by far my top pick. The size and shape are ideal for anyone looking for a workout companion, and the arm-band addition shows that Yepp trully did their research on the best way to make a portable system more portable. The volume is loud enough for me, and I need my music loud, and the extra bass feature is easy to turn on and off and has some kick. Also, even though the unit is tiny, it still offers a very easy to read display.
The only two downsides are the software that comes with the product and the earbuds. I grabbed Yepp Explorer off their website, which is vastly superior to the Audio Manager that is included. Most ear buds that accompany units are inferior to one's that you can buy in a store. If recommended the unit to many friends, and haven't heard anything from praise from them either.

Summary: software is horrible
Review: I don't like it because the PC software is absolutely horrible. Least intuitive Windows program I have ever seen.

Summary: Perfect for workouts and running
Review: I go jogging often, so I wanted a portable that was small and wouldn't annoy me by bouncing on my leg as I run. This MP3 player fits the bill. Like other reviewers, I found the armband too small, but the included clear clip-on hides easily on my short's waistband. Battery life is alright, I get between 7-10 hours per AAA battery, but I think it beats having a rechargeable battery that ends up dying on you eventually. I didn't find the software that difficult to use, but you can always download other software from samsung or use another program that you are familiar with. Overall, this is a durable little MP3 player that is sure to be a hit with people on the go.

Summary: It doesn't skip!
Review: I just finished reading about how many runners who bought iPods have been returning them because they skip/lockup/crash when running (not jogging). I previously owned a Sharp MD player, and sold it because of skipping. I figure that ANY mechanical player will skip, regardless of read-ahead RAM buffers, because the vibration of running will eventually overcome the device's ability to play reliably. Bottom line: runners HAVE to go solid state. The Yepp solid state MP3 players are solid, loud, high-fidelity devices with nice screens and decent (2 hr+) storage capability and it comes with a nice adjustable arm band and clip to secure it. I've had mine over a year now and it is still working great (unlike the Nike Sport player). I would look at the new Creative MuVo2 X-trainer as well (512MB would hold 8 hours of music!) but the Yepp 128MB player is a great "piece o' kit." The only downside is that the player has its own tunes management software and does not integrate directly with Real Player, MusicMatch JukeBox, or Microsoft Media Player. Drive letter access would be nice. (The new Yepps, eg., yp-55v DO support DLA I think.)
