Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

The Samsung YP-K5 4 GB Audio Player is a lightweight MP3 player that is loaded with features, such as an innovative touch screen, FM radio receiver, and a built-in speaker. This compact audio player also doubles as a mini boom box, and defies engineering logic by somehow squeezing a high-end music player--complete with a unique slide-out speaker--into a slim, compact device. The K5 also makes it easy to access your complete music library by interfacing with your PC to quickly and easily download music files (MP3 and WMA) via USB 2.0. This MP3 player is PlaysForSure-compatible, stores up to 1,000 songs on 4 GB of memory, and features a playback time up to 30 hours with earphones (up to six hours with the speaker).

This device is built with an attractive, slide-out speaker that features DNSe--Samsung's proprietary Digital Natural Sound engine technology. DNSe delivers virtual surround sound with great volume, no distortion, and a natural and accurate high-quality sound. A gentle nudge from your thumb and forefinger effortlessly positions the speaker for optimal sound acoustics. At the same time, the K5 utilizes an interface that switches from a vertical, personal-use view to a horizontal, shared-use view. And with a minimum number of keys, simplified system, and a stylish, minimalism look, the K5 is all about functionality, without sacrificing style, and superior performance. In addition, five preset equalizer modes allow you to customize the sound experience to suit your style of music. These advanced music functions will allow you to enjoy an acoustic experience that you'd expect from your home stereo. And for times when you just want to keep the music to yourself, you can use the included state-of-the-art earphones with two-part earbuds that offer a bass-enhanced sound experience.

With the K5 in hand you can also tune in FM radio, so you'll never miss your favorite broadcasts. The device also features a digital alarm clock that you can personalize with your choice of music. And to make sure you never miss an appointment, the alarm will automatically sound even when the K5 is switched off. No alarm is complete without a snooze option, so if you need a few extra winks, just hit snooze and go back to sleep. At night, a timer function and auto turn-off enable you to ease yourself into sleep with your favorite tunes without draining your battery. You can also enjoy a personalized picture slideshow as you listen to your K5. The 4 GB device stores up to 25,000 photos and allows you to take memories with you anywhere, anytime. Use your photos as your MP3 player's screen saver, beautifully displayed on the OLED screen in brilliant 128x160 pixel resolution. With superior sound, an innovative slide-out speaker design, and a simple, functional interface, the K5 is designed to exceed your expectations.

This is one sweet MP3 Player that will have all your friends drooling ;o) I love it! And it's best feature has got to be the built in speakers, they sound like Bose quality and not a cell phone on speaker phone (that was my biggest pre-purchase concern). And the build quality on this unit is incredible! Before buying anything I always play with (stress test) at my local Best Buy and you couldn't break this one if you tried, i wasn't able to. It is made of metal and has a solid feel to it unlike most of todays cheapo gadgets built of plastics. I wish it had a larger storage capacity, 4GB isn't much these days a twenty or forty GB version would be to die for but would also up the price a bit. The controls are lovely n this even if you have clumsy fat fingers like me. I love the fact that I don't need to use any software to load music (although it does come with software on a cd), I plugged in the USB cable and my pc (running XP Media Edition) picked it right up and I just dragged and dropped my music right on without any itunes hassle ;o) I do wish Samsung wouldn't use a Proprietary USB connector, a mini USB would be much nicer I hate traveling with my laptop and having to carry around a dozen different USB wires for my devices since hey don't all use a stand mini to regular USB. Also Samsung should have included a wall (AC) charger, instead you have to use the supplied USB cable to charge. Also the included headphones roxx! I purchased an expensive pair of Bose Triport IE headphones to use with this but after testing the included ones verse the $100 I couldn't justify keeping the Bose so I returned them. Yeah the Bose sounded a tiny bit better but they actually require more power so when turned all the way up the included headphones are much louder. I love my K5 and even after considering the above mentioned Cons if I were to do it all over again I would still choose this player it is truly brilliant and a leader in it's class. I hope this helps anyone in the market. P.S. my Samsung K5 can kick your generic looking iPods butt any day! ;o)

This mp3 player is great in the fact that all negatives are tempered by pluses... and then some.

It is about the size of an ipod nano but thicker--> but this is because of the very cool speaker that plays great.

The size is also tempered by the sleek touch button design and smooth interface

The touch buttons are a bit sensitive--> but there is an easy to use hold button that can change on and off very easily

The software is easy to use and very well organized.

AWESOME BATTERY LIFE!!!

Word of Warning: The headphones included are really strange and may seem large and invasive to many (not to be shared with others) --> but are suprisingly comfortable (and can easily be replaced if they are just too weird for you).

Much better than an ipod!
