5.0 out of 5 stars Best of show, August 21, 2002

I did an enormous amoutn of research for the best overall MP3 player out there and this was by far my top pick. The size and shape are ideal for anyone looking for a workout companion, and the arm-band addition shows that Yepp trully did their research on the best way to make a portable system more portable. The volume is loud enough for me, and I need my music loud, and the extra bass feature is easy to turn on and off and has some kick. Also, even though the unit is tiny, it still offers a very easy to read display.
The only two downsides are the software that comes with the product and the earbuds. I grabbed Yepp Explorer off their website, which is vastly superior to the Audio Manager that is included. Most ear buds that accompany units are inferior to one's that you can buy in a store.

If recommended the unit to many friends, and haven't heard anything from praise from them either.

I couldn't ask for better! I travel A LOT on business and wanted an MP3 player that was small, but still offered capacity for workouts on the road. 128MB will buy you about 1 1/2- 2 hours of music (One AAA battery gives me about 4-5 hours of listening time). Great for workouts, but small enough to fit in your laptop case, toilet kit, etc. No hassles with it at airport security, which is a plus for me. The computer/player interface is easy to use and quick. I can freshen up the tunes whenever I get home in less than 10 minutes. I agree with others who recommend downloading the YEPP Explorer software from the SamSung website...it's more user friendly than that supplied with the installation CD. A highly recommended buy. Plus...it looks cool too!! Only problem is the supplied armband is a little tight for anyone who has other than "Stick-Man" arms - but a little readjustment will keep the blood flowing.

5.0 out of 5 stars Pocket Rocket of a player, August 13, 2002

This unit is technically the YP-30SH - not sure how they dropped the S in the listing. It's tiny, size of a Zippo lighter, sounds great, has a goodly amount of RAM, and the best controls and display on any player anywhere near this size range. If you record at around 80Kbps using LAME ABR mixed mode with a 32KHz resample, you can fit nearly 3 hours of better-than-FM music (NOT CD quality at that rate) onto it.

As micro-portables go, it's far and away the best out there. The only downsides are that the memory isn't expandable and the earbuds aren't so great. But the earbuds on most portables are poor and the size more than makes up for the lack of expandability.
