Great Product -- Does the Job, May 18, 2000

I just got the Samsung Yepp and I think it's a great player. From the moment you open the box it definitely has that "touch me, feel me" look to it. This thing is very very small (smaller than I expected from pictures on the web), I'd say about the size of a deck of cards. You can easily "palm" it in your hand, and it weighs almost NOTHING (I hardly notice it when it's in my pocket, I think it's lighter than my wallet). This certainly beats carrying around a discman and a caselogic. The sound quality is excellent (The earbuds that come with it are okay, but I prefer my Sony Fontopias). The controls are intuitive, and the PC interface software is easy to use (Make sure to get the newest version from the samsung website). The voice recorder is definitely a nice bonus; it's great for recording lectures in class. I don't use the phonebook feature b/c I have a Palm Pilot, but that's also a nice feature.My only reservations are that:It...Read more

Samsung Yepp YP-E64 Review, April 15, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Samsung YP-E64 Yepp MP3 Player (Electronics)

The Yepp 64 is very cool. With 64MB built in and a SmartMedia slot for additional memory, this device ranks among the top in terms of storage space.It is very small and very light. Sound quality is excellent - although the earbuds that it comes with are not that great. (I went out and purchased a set of Sony Earbuds - much much better).It comes with an ECP Parallel Port Cable, but also supports USB (cable sold separately). As long as you have an EPP/ECP Parallel port the transfer rate is actually pretty fast.Although I was't planning on ever using it - the built in microphone is pretty good for recording live events :)It plays all forms of MP3 with no problems (Variable bitrate, high bitrate etc..)The only negatives I can see are, you need to buy new headphones, The display isn't backlit.I am a very happy customer.

After hesitating between the choice of the Yepp and the Rio, I chose the Yepp, and I am happy I did. It is very easy to use. I had mine full of songs within 20 minutes of opening the box. I will probably buy the optional USB connection, but the parallel port transferred the mp3 files fast enough. This thing is small--smaller than the pictures make it look and smaller than I was expecting. About the size of a deck of cards, but thinner. Its way lighter than my StarTac cell phone. The headphones, of course, are not the best, but that should be expected. It sounds great, and there are a few EQ modes you can use. The microphone works really well. Battery life is suprisingly long. Volume is good enough that you can hear the music in a noisy atmosphere. I don't think the lack of backlighting is a big deal because the controls are simple and this also saves battery juice. It comes loaded with two strange sounding songs that I deleted. I haven't used the phone book...Read more
