Samsung YH-820MC 5 GB Digital Audio Player

I have been using my YH820 for about 2 months now. I think it is a great value for the money.

Pros:
5 Gb for $200. For now, that is a good deal and certainly a value when you consider the other features the 820 provides

Unlike previous reviewers, I had absolutely no problems getting my unit to synch with Windows Media Player. Select your files and send them to your Synch list, then Synch now, and the files get pushed over. I didn't load NAPSTER, as I don't want 3rd party apps cluttering my PC. Originally I didn't load the Samsung software either, but then I had problems getting the JPGs to show correctly after a direct file transfer via filesystem (not saying that it can't be done, its just easier with the native Samsung software)

And not ONCE have I had an issue with the Hard Drive. This mp3 player might be a little pricy, but if youre willing to spend the amount, the color screen makes it worth it.

Smaller than the iPod mini and has a color screen and relatively easy navigation. A little slow to boot up initially, but this is not a detrimental issue. Definitely glad I researched this before plunging into the iCult. I'm not sure what Bill Waff was speaking of below, but the player is indeed WMP compatible and you do not need to be online to manage your library.
