The sound on this is incredible. it seems to stay charged forever which is great. I know people with iPods and they don't stay charged for nearly as long. I don't have anything bad to say about this at all.

This review is from: Samsung YP-Z5QS 2 GB Digital Audio Player (Silver) (Electronics)

I do like little MP3, but I find a big dissadvantage the fact, that every time I have to charge it, I have to have PC with me. The MP3 comes only with USB cable! No additional charger available. For example, going on vacation - does that mean take the PC with me? Not a 21st century...

5.0 out of 5 stars Ideal for Napster To Go, August 30, 2006

I purchased this because it is compatible with Napster To Go, which lets you download an unlimited number of songs for a monthly rate rather than the 99 cent per song deal with iTunes. The user interface is very nice and I haven't had any trouble with the unit so far.
