Summary: no sound
Review: I recently purchased SYP with 64mb onboard memory including the 64 mb external smart media card. I was able to use the player for just one day, I couldn't hear any sounds from the earphones. The player seems working but the volume is dead. So i had to return it back and exhanged it for intel pocket concert player with 128 mb. The sound of SYP is good, the bass is not enough. There are presets equalizer but i prefer to have it adjusted manually. Voice recording features is a plus but i havent had a chance to use it.

Summary: decent but dorky
Review: I told myself that I would finally drag myself to the gym if, and only if, I finally had a decent mp3 player to entice me. After extensive researching and saving my pennies, I decided to go with the Techno Yepp. The call of the 128MB and tuner for a comparatively low price was too much to resist. Initially, I had been eyeballing the Intel Pocket Concert that has a similar configuration, but it was significantly higher in price at the time. Here are a few comments I have to make in addition to what other reviewers have already posted.AESTHETICS
Okay, I can't help it but I expect products that I purchase to be visually pleasing--call it the curse of being a gadget designer/monger.
Firstly, when the Yepp arrived, I'll admit I was a little dismayed to see that it was slightly larger than I expected it to be. Having seen the Mini Yepp (and having previously tried out the Sony MP3 stick player), somehow I was under the impression that the Yepp would be smaller, more svelte, more...desireable. Instead, it appears to be a dorky looking box which I guess is some geek's idea of cool (to be fair, the Intel model is pretty geeky looking as well. Guess companies are unwilling to invest in design). However, this fact is offset by the fact that the player still remains quite light. I guess pragmatics wins out over aesthetics in this case, but that doesn't keep me from hiding it under my t-shirt when I use it at the gym. I've also chucked the tuner portion (something that had actually factored into my decision of buying the Techno Yepp!) since it's not only a battery hog but the tangle of lengthy wires and tuner unit flying around on one's chest are distracting to say the least. BUTTON LAYOUT
Okay, yes, the buttons are easy to use...but do they make one iota of sense if you're not actually looking at the thing? The layout is seemingly arbitrary. Some buttons are stuck on the front side, some near the LED, some on the right side, some on the left side...and perhaps most infuriating, some buttons need to be lightly tapped, and others need to be held down for a long time to make them work. I often find myself with the player strapped to my running shorts, my fingers fumbling around and randomly punching buttons hoping that one of them will do what I want it to do, as I simultaneously try to concentrate not falling off of the stairmaster. Also, if you forget to hit the "lock" feature, the power buttons is very easy to engage simply by just pressing up against something. I've accidentally turned it off mid-favorite song many times. VOLUME
I would have to concur with others about the volume control--the maximum volume level is just enough to hear your music at a "normal" level if there is background noise (I thought perhaps I was having hearing problems until I read other people's comments). Sometimes you just want to rock out a bit to your favorite part, but if the Yepp is competing with any other noise, you'll just have to shout out the words if you want raise the volume anymore. OVERALL
I have to agree with other reviewers who say that the software and loading up music is easy. Also, the sound quality is decent, though the 3D effect is nothing special. Having 128MB is dreamy...and the Yepp has made my workout experience a lot more pleasant. I hope the next model improves upon this one though. I'd give this 3-1/2 stars.

Summary: Upload is slow and it doesn't support WMA, plus more...
Review: I usually like Samsung products but this one doesn't make the grade. -The upload time to the unit is quite slow.
-The unit does not support WMA.
-The unit does not integrate with Windows Media Player.
-The unit does not integrate with Musicmatch.
-The real biggy! This unit does not support MP3's of different bit rates. You must make them all the same bit rate! There are some good points though. It's physically well designed and the buttons are well layed out. I really liked the little clip on remote. Very handy for sticking out of a backpak! Unfortunately the guts of this product did not meet the standards of the shell. 2 out of 5 stars.

Summary: The Techno Yepp is a good product
Review: The Samsung Techno Yepp (STY) is my first MP3 player so I do not have anything to compare it with. With that in mind I offer the following comments: Positive Features: o The STY provides good audio quality. The sound is strong and clean, although the bass is a bit weak. o The STY provides good audio quality. The sound is strong and clean, although the bass is a bit weak. Yes, I just wrote that. I want to stress the point that the sound quality is good. The primary feature of any audio player should be sound quality. The STY delivers good sound quality. o The STY is very convenient. The MP3 player is quite small, easy to carry/wear, and it does not skip. These characteristics make it very useful while exercising or working. o The STY has a built-in sound equalizer that helps to improve the playback sound quality. I often play recordings of classic American radio programs from the 30's, 40's, and 50's. This feature reduces the hiss, pops, and other flaws that are common in old radio programs. It is also useful with modern hi-fidelity recordings as well. Depending on the type of music the different equalizer modes can restore some of the warmth and depth that is lost in the MP3 format. Negative Features: o I would recommend using different headphones than the ones that are supplied. They sound a bit tinny and they are uncomfortable. o The STY requires use of Samsung's provided software for loading and unloading recordings. Unforutunately they do not support the Linux computer operating system. Macintosh or Windows computers are well supported though. o The FM radio tuner that comes with the STY is not integrated with the MP3 player. It is a seperate "remote control" that is part of the headphone cable. The tuner works well and sounds fine, but it is a bit cumbersome. It acts as a lead weight on the headphone cable making the headphones pull on your ears when you are moving about. I recommend this product as it provides you with good sound quality in a small, convenient player that does not skip. Best regards, Joe Kotran

Summary: An Impressive MP3 Player But Needs Improvement
Review: This is a decent MP3 player and only a few flaws kept it from earning a four-star rating. PROS: Great Sound Overall: I'm ready to shelve both my cassette and CD
player portables. The 3D effect is cool but only when listening to MP3s encoded at 96kbs or higher. Decent Memory Capacity: 128MB (64MB built in and 64MB in the form of a Smart Media card) is more than adequate for listening to a couple of hours worth of near cd quality music. Skip Free: 'nuff said
Attractive, hi-tech design: Drew lots of envious and inquisitive
looks from friends and strangers alike. Very compact and lightweight: A caveat...After wearing a bulky cassette type walkman at the gym, I couldn't believe how light this player felt. Be careful. At first, you can forget
that you're wearing it. Easy to use software: The Mac version for encoding and downloading MP3s is a breeze to use. COMPLAINTS: 1)The Headphones: Unless your ear canals are humongous, you'll find the one-size-fits-all earbud style headphones included with the Yepp very uncomfortable. These ill-fitting earbuds constantly popped out of my ears which made listening to the Yepp while engaged in physical activity an exercise in frustration. Like me, you'll give these to a big-eared friend (or a small-eared enemy) and get the more secure headband style headphones. 2)Needs More Ooomph: Volume was adequate for listening while indoors but I would have liked more volume for higher than average noise environments (the gym, the subway, etc.) and to compensate for lower volume music tracks. 3)Controls: The eject button (for removing and replacing the Smart Media card) broke and I had to have my unit replaced. I hope the new one is not so fragile. Also the button which opens the door to the Smart Media card slot is too easily tripped. 4)Battery Life: Jiminy Cricket! The Yepp eats batteries for breakfast! This is especially true when the remote control/fm receiver is connected to the unit. Tip: If you really don't need the convenience of the remote, leave it home. It'll save you a couple hours' worth of battery life.

Summary: Considering the end price, this player was a bargain!
Review: This is my second player and in comparison to my first this is a dream machine! My old machine was an audiovox MPDJ 1000. I didn't have any problems with the old player (which after reading the reviews of that player I was probably lucky!), but it didn't have enough memory and the audiovox player does not take non proprietary memory cards. I just got the player today, and still haven't filled it up yet!(Considering my MP3 and CD collection, I'm surprised I didn't fill it up completely in 15 minutes!) It was easy to set up, I love having the FM tuner and unlike the previous reviews can't really complain about the headphones. I found them quite comfortable. How I ended up not really paying anything for this player is a long story, but with the sale price, free shipping, gift certificate, free extra viking 32 mb smart media card, and paid for on a webcertificate this deal could not be beat. ... I basically got paid to buy this player! I would offer the following recommendations: 1) I would just transfer the files via drag and drop, and bypass the real jukebox. I only see the real jukebox as helpful if you need to listen to the file before putting into the player as a refresher. Transferring the files directly into the player and bypassing Real Jukebox saves a TREMENDOUS amount of time. 2) The fm radio/tuner does sometime depend on the way you are situated and on where the antennae is facing. Point the LCD screen AWAY from you, preferably toward a window and you should get excellent sound. As a remote it's great. For all urban dwellers it's totally convenient to be able to hide your player in your pocket and have only the tiny remote visible. If you ride the subway once the subway goes into the tunnel you merely switch from FM to MP3 with the click of a button. This is great lightweight but solid player. Those are the only two warnings, this is a GREAT player and a wonderful buy for the price! I am a pretty informed shopper and comparison shop extensively before buying, and I would highly recommend this player without hesitation. -t.

Summary: Hmmmm lets see...
Review: Well, as stated in the other reviews the sound quality is great. There are only two things wrong with this player. No bass boost and not enough volume. My sons YP-30S has more of both....but no memory expansion.

Review: Well, Please ignore this. I'm trying to SEE the reviews and I'm being forced to rate it first. Pretty stupid!
