1.0 out of 5 stars It will NOT work as a usb drive., January 9, 2008

By	Wooque "IT" (norman, OK USA) - See all my reviews

Note: This YP - U3 will NOT work as a USB Drive. it used to work, then Samsung & Microsoft Teamed up to update the firmwire in this device, it can NOT be used as a usb drive now. and it ONLY work on windows XP (not even 2000), no linux, no mac.

And you will need Admin privilege to install the driver. (so if you want to transfer file between computer, this thing won't work).

I am IT engineer so I did a lot research on this and managed to update the firm ware. But it is such a hassle. I won't buy this thing if I know in advance it won't work as a usb drive.

I repeat, It will NOT work as a usual usb drive. you will have to install drivers on the computer. The description in Amazon in not accurate.

if you have a firm ware early than 1.07, it might work. most of them are 1.11 now.

Hope this will save you some money and time.

2.0 out of 5 stars Doesn't work with all computers, May 24, 2008

By	Dave819 (Florida) - See all my reviews

You better be computer savy if you buy this MP3 player or you may not get it to work on your computer. It is not a plug and play device, at least not on my laptop (Acer, Windows XP SP2) The computer would not recognize the device, no drivers were available on the Samsung website and an email to customer service had me try things I had already tried on my own with no success. A friend and I spent several hours using Google and finally found a fix. From what I read on the internet I'm not alone, there are a lot of customers who purchased the same model who were having some of the same problems. Now that it works with my computer and I'm able to transfer music it's a nice, compact little unit. The sound seems to be just fine and it's easy to use. Just be prepared to do some research if it doesn't work on your computer.

3.0 out of 5 stars MP3 Player, January 7, 2008

By	Aelyrra Parthenopaeus "Musicale" - See all my reviews

This little guy is a great option for people who don't want/can't afford an iPod. It has a great amount of storage space and I use it to save a lot of my schoolwork. It's also extremely durable. I've dropped it, sat on it, and watched it fall into a glass of apple juice and still it works perfectly.
I only have two qualms with it though. One, is the obscenely short battery life. I think it's about 3 hours, whereas my previous mp3 player had 6 or 7, it's not something to take on roadtrips, unless you have a laptop available. The second, less important item is the extremely sensitive touchscreen, but it's easy to get used to and there is a hold button.
