Cool but Quirky,

This review is from: Samsung YH-925GS 20 GB Digital Audio Player (Electronics)
Hardware look and feel is very polished, cooler than ipod, nice form factor and audio recording features not found on ipod. But software is quirky. Out of the box had to do a firmware upgrade over the net, and I mistakenly unplugged USB at the wrong time and hosed the drive and had to start over again, though had a similar experience with ipod too. One major annoyance is though it looks like a drive to Windows when you plug it in to the USB port, if you drag and drop MP3 folders over to it, they are stored but will not be recognized by the player, and wont play. Only files transferred with the sync from WMP or Napster will play. This is very annoying if you already have a large collection of MP3 folders and arent too interested in purchasing online right away. Another annoyance is it will only sync to one PC, if you sync it on a different PC, it may delete all the files!! This kind of fascist copy protection scheme is going too far, imho. Another major annoyance is the Napster...Read more

Despite compatability issues and poor battery life, excellent,

This review is from: Samsung YH-925GS 20 GB Digital Audio Player (Electronics)
Alright, it's the 21st century now. It's getting to the point where portable CD players are nice...but are so 20th century. I decided I needed a less-bulky and nicer portable audio device. Searching around Best Buy, I came across this. Let me tell you, the iPod is probably the most overrated portable electronics device ever.
Okay, first off by reading the 1-star or 2-star amazon.com reviews, many of them are either unfair or haven't given it a chance/didn't read directions.
Okay, I've heard A LOT about Napster software. For starters, which is a dissappointment, If you don't have Windows XP, go back to the search engine, because it's only compatable with XP. Macs don't count. Maybe, not guarrantee this, but maybe it will work on Windows ME. Not 100% sure, but all stores have a money-back guarantee...right? Also, it's not JUST compatable with Napster. Just because it says Napster on the box and player, does that mean ONLY Napster? No. It's also compatable with...Read more

Software not nearly as bad as some would have you believe,

This review is from: Samsung YH-925GS 20 GB Digital Audio Player (Electronics)
I ended up with my Samsung as a replacement for my Rio Karma through a major retailer's service plan. It was either the YH-925 or the ipod, and even though the Samsung was brand new and basically unreviewed, I still preferred it to an ipod for a variety of reasons, which really don't matter for this review. What I can say, though, is that I liked my Rio a lot except for the fact that I had to occasionally beat it against a desk to "un-stick" its famously horrible hard drive; not something you want to do to a small, somewhat advanced piece of technology.
I was getting nervous about my new Samsung for two reasons. First, there are basically no professional reviews that I could find anywhere. And second, the few amateur reviews I did find (i.e., Amazon), basically blasted the YH-925 for its poor software. Let me say that the software isn't near as bad as the two reviews here make it out to be. The only thing I don't like about it, and the main reason why I docked a star...Read more
