Summary: So many features 2008-11-19
Comment: This mp3 player/FM radio is an older version and small in the memory department but none the less a great player with so many features! There's games, great sound quality, different EQ settings and so much more. If you want to listen to a relatively small song list with really good quality, this is the mp3 player for you!

Summary: Great player but doesn't age well 2008-04-03
Comment: I loved everything about the player as far as the usability, versatility, and style. I did have a problem with how frequently and seriously it was broken. After a few months of ownership the connection point for the USB port became loose and had to be held in a certain way in order to charge or put music on. Less than the first year (luckily still under warranty) I had to send it to Samsung for the earphone jack to be fixed. They did fix everything but the USB port became loose again and remained that way until it gave up life less than 2 years. Bottomline, Samsung makes crappy products. I do not recommend.

Summary: Great YP-T8X 2007-08-19
Comment: Before I bought me a Zune player. I had this little player for like a year and half. Its a great player. Sometimes I still use it for voice recording for my exams in college. Since the zune does not have a voice recorder. I recommend this one.

Summary: Well suited as an audio book player, maybe more 2007-04-07
Comment: If you would like to listen to electronic audio books in WMA format with DRM (digital rights management), this player might be just the ticket. I believe that IPOD cannot do this.
There are so many aspects to this player, I cannot give it a general rating that is fair. But, I have tested it for its utility as an electronic audio book player and found it to be the best among three older Samsung players I tested.
It has a bookmark facility as well as a hyper fast forward/rewind that will allow you to find your place in a 16 hour WMA file (~250 MB) within a minute (tested). You should not have to though, it auto-resumes just where you left off, and you can place a bookmark just to be sure. Takes a little learning curve though along with putting up with boot-up time.
Note that it is NOT very well suited to playing back audio books ripped from multiple CD's. It does not recognize folders as playlist items, a big drawback if it is used as a CD audio book player or a music CD player. It only understands individual tracks, but it handles very long WMA tracks very well.
I cannot even touch on all the features and shortcomings of this device... but it is well worth owning just to play with it. A perfect starter because its limited memory capacity has driven the price down. You will find excellent bang for the buck, as it is a slick and capable device, until you want more memory.
I have done only limited testing using it for photo, video, music, and recording. Feelings are mixed so far, but would give it a 3/5 at the moment. As a player for for downloadable eAudioBooks from Net Library, it is at max a 4 given the BEWARE notice below.
P.S. No longer available new, be sure your used unit has a wall charger and USB cable included. Software easily downloadable from Samsung but is not needed unless you want to transfer video (why bother?). Works as a simple flash drive unless WMA DRM is used... It worked with Windows Media Player 9 for downloading WMA DRM.
BEWARE: Battery is built-in and may not be user replacable. An automatic 1 point off the rating.

Summary: Good device! 2007-04-03
Comment: I have been using that mp3 player for 5 months, and I love it so much. It looks neat and the sound quality is very awesome. The only thing that bugs me is that it does not have a search option to search for the songs. You have to go through 100 songs to to find a specific song that you want to listen. Other than that, it is pretty cool.
