Tactile Keys

Say goodbye to guessing and waiting while selecting your favorite music and videos. Just press the touch screen on the U5 and you feel a button click, letting you know it received your selection.

Direct USB

Just like a thumb drive, simply remove the cap and plug the built-in Direct USB connection into your PC or audio system to wirelessly download music, voice recordings, PopCons and more

Digital Display

A four-line digital readout lets you quickly browse selections, as well as display album art and PopCons.

Fitness mode

It's an easy way to measure your workout progress: input height and weight, and the Fitness Mode calculates calories burned for one of eight different exercises - walking, running, hiking and more. It also keeps track of your workout time, tracks your goals, records your progress and even gives you encouragement.

PopCons

Personalize the U5 with a colorful PopCon, or "Pop Art + Icon." You can select one of the 10 PopCons or, if you feel creative, create your own. Then upload it to a PC to share it with your friends.

Voice recorder and FM Radio

The next time you're at a school lecture, practicing lines from a play, brushing up on your Italian, or capturing your favorite songs on the FM band, you'll appreciate the Voice Recorder. Useful features include variable recording speeds, as well as 10-second skip interval and repeat functions.

Album Art

You know the artist and the song, but which album was that song from? Special software captures and beautifully displays the album covers of many music selections.

DNSe 3.0 (Digital Natural Sound Engine)

Get the best sound out of every song. Samsung's exclusive Digital Natural Sound Engine automatically upscales MP3s to CD quality with a powerful yet distortion-free bass boost, and even lets practicing musicians slow down any song so they can learn how to play it - without changing the pitch.

3-in-1 Accessories

Enjoy listening to the U5 while you jog, use it to monitor your progress at the gym - wherever you are, the optional 3-in-1 Accessories Kit keeps it close, comfortable and secure. Includes an arm band, a lanyard and strap, and a protective silicon case.

5.0 out of 5 stars good MP3--great FM radio reception, November 11, 2009

By	diogenes (Washington,D.C.) - See all my reviews

I first bought a COBY-4 MP3 player because it was medium priced, small and slim, and had an FM stereo capability that I wanted to be able to listen to NPR while working out. The MP3 capability is fine (although the touch-pad controls sometimes require multiple finger pressing) but the FM radio reception is poor--regular static and cutting out. I did more research to see if I could fine a better quality and bought this Samsung U5. No comparison on the FM reception, the Samsung has absolutely clear reception in exactly the same location where I was getting lousy reception with the Coby. MP3 features work fine and navigation is easy. Small, slim size (half the width of the Coby) is great if you want something small that will slip into key pocket on your workout shorts.
