Samsung YP-U1Q - MP3 Player

If you want a slim and light music player that isn't fruit related, try this Samsung.

Expert Review

The U1 is definitely a worthy alternative to the popular Apple iPod shuffle and its included screen and equalisation settings are admirable features - at the expense of solid battery life.

Small, slim and light, Foldable USB drive, Fully customisable nine-band equaliser, display shows next track

Lack of 3D sound options seen on most other Samsung models, average headphones, No FM radio or Line-In recording, limited playlist support, poor voice recording

Samsung yepp YP-U1X

Broad file-format support and good sound quality make the lightweight U1X a solid flash-based player.

Easy to use. Broad file-format support. Very good audio quality. Customizable track-skip buttons. Very light.

Doesn't work with subscription services. Doesn't ship with a USB extender cable or AC charger.

Samsung YP-U1

Looking like a shuffle clone, the YP-U1 tries to go one up on the fruity original.

Nice USB jack implementation ; Improved music software ; Sturdy built ; Nine-band equaliser

Mediocre battery life ; Limited playlist ; No FM radio

Battery life was an unimpressive 13 hours 53 minutes.

Samsung Yepp YP-U1ZB 1GB MP3 Player Review

Samsung's YP-U1ZB MP3 player is no larger than an iPod Shuffle and has 1GB of memory good for about 330 songs at 3MB apiece.

Samsung Media Studio takes on a Windows Explorer-like appearance that allows users to mange MP3 files, drag and drop them onto the YP-U1ZB, encode MP3 files from CD's at up to 320kbps, and create play lists. The Media Studio includes a built in MP3...

Samsung YP-U1Z 1 GB MP3 Player

It seems if you wanted a large capacity solid state MP3 player in the past, you had to settle for a larger player size. Today we take a look at the YP-U1Z 1 GB MP3 player from Samsung that has best of both worlds; small size and a large storage capacity.

Small Size, 1 GB capacity, Recharge able battery built in, SRS WOW audio enhancement, Drag and Drop importing of songs

The YP-U1Z MP3 player is the way to go if you're looking for a tiny player with a large capacity. Throw in the fact that you can recharge the unit on any PC and you've got a winner

Samsung YP-U1Z 1GB

I like the design and shape of this mp3 player, it looks a bit like ipod shuffle but with a screen and is also cheaper which makes it better than ipod shuffle. The functions are easy to use and easy to understand. It is also convinient as it has a...

The batery life never lasted 13 hours like what was advertised, longest time was 8 hours. I had to buy a 20 pound charger to charge the batery because it's quite difficult to keep charging it from the usb-port of my computer, it would be better if it...
