4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent MP3 plus for a newbie, November 6, 2005

This review is from: Samsung YP-T7X 512 MB Digital Audio Player (Electronics)

I had experience with MP3s with my pocket computer but I decided to get an MP3 player stand alone. For the convience mostly since its size is a fraction of my pocket computer and for sound quality.

I did some research and I decided against IPODs. They are NOT good value for the money plus I did not want to be tied to Itunes. Also I personally enjoy the radio. I wanted an MP3 player with a radio. I went with this one after checking the Web for reviews.

I have had my player a few days now. Overall I am very pleased. The FM tuner is superb. The sound is very good. Especially with the WOW or SRS functions selected. The MP3 player is great. Unlike IPOD this player has the nifty ability of direct in-line recording. What that means is you hook up an included cable to the line-out of your music system and the line-in end on the Samsung and you get conversion to MP3 at the bit rate you desire up to 192.

So if you have books on CD or tape you could record them on a low bit-rate.

I also like the ease of uploading files. It uses a windows folder system. The device turns up as a removable drive and no driver is needed for systems over Windows 98. You then just drag files over. You can create new folders to hold the files.

This I think will help a lot when I start adding hundreds of songs. Yes 512MB is not that big, but you can simply cut and then copy back over entire folders without much problem.

A couple more things to say about this. One, 512MB still holds a lot of music. Actually it is 486MB after the system software takes some space. But really unless you were hiking in Peru for a month it is not that hard to swap folders out. For any given day or weekend the storage is more than enough unless you listen to MP3s from getting up to going to sleep.

Why 4 stars? The picture function simply is a gimick. I downloaded pictures at the suggested pixel size and they look pretty bad.

Bottomline is the goods outway the bad. Especially as you can use this as a normal removable drive to transfer files and also to display text files. Very, very pleased and the radio and direct in-line recording make it a lot more nifty and usable than the increasingly narrow and featureless seeming IPODs.

5.0 out of 5 stars Coolest MP3 player around!, August 7, 2005

This MP3 player ROCKS! And here's why: 1. It sounds great 2. It's the size of a book of matches and weighs like one ounce 3. It has a color screen 4. Has rechargeable battery 5. Is simple to use and navigate once you are familiar with it 6. No moving parts, it's a flash drive 7. No extra software required, just drag & drop in Windows, or Media Player. 8. It has a FM radio built in. The only downside to this player is the crappy headphones included. I bought some better headphones, and with the included belt clip, I'm all set for the gym. Ipod Shuffle eat your heart out.

5.0 out of 5 stars Weeeeeeeeee!, February 26, 2005

This review is from: Samsung YP-T7X 512 MB Digital Audio Player (Electronics)

It's a good item. I haven't tried any other mp3 players so I have no basis to compair.

It caught my eye with the color screen, which is really nice to have some graphics on your hip. The user interface is real easy to use. I have yet to read the manual and I have no reason to. The audio quality is nice. The little bud earphones give sufficiant sound quality. I like the image viewer. It could use a couple more cool features to utilize the color screen. More graphics or such. It has a screen saver function and it'd be nice to use a custom image. Audio options are excellent. You can adjust just about anything.

It's small, light weight, very versitle and easy to use. It comes with a good ammount of accessories.

I have nothing really negative to say about this product. It's real good and I'm happy with it except i'd go for the 1 gig @ 200 instead of 512 @ 150.

Cheers! ;D
