MP3 Reviews

When paired with Rhapsody music subscription service this product is truly awesome. I highly recommend it to anyone who is a Rhapsody user. This little gadget brings Rhapsody's 50,000 CDs on-demand directly into your stereo. Very cool. The sound quality is better than the sound sound quality out of my PC sound card and it is really easy to navigate my music library. I liked it so much I now have two. One for my home stereo and one for work.

This little baby holds 32 mega bites (about 30 minutes of saweeeet tunes. I thought I'd never see the day where you didn't have use some kind of CD or cassette. I bet in a few years these puppies will bring down CD's like a like a lion catching it's pray. Just like the CD's wiped out cassettes. And the best part about these thing is about these players is that they're sooo SMALL. It only weighs a little under 2 ounces (1.7 onces to be precise). And that's not all! It only takes 2 count em' 2 batteries. This is what makes this particular Digital audio player: The two awsome, vibrant colors. See-through bright orange and blue. These colors are only available on a Samsung Yepp Digital audio player. This is definatly is the best looking MP3 player that I have ever seen!

I had a Rio S10 mp3 player since Christmas of 2002, and I was in love with it. Unfortunatley it got stolen so I had to go back out into the market. At first I wanted a hard-drive or micro hard-drive mp3 player like the Rio Karma or Muvo 2, but I realized its too expensive, too big, skips, and I don't need that much space.

A lack of avliablility or selection kept me off the market for a few months. But I saw new flash based mp3 players coming in from iRiver and Samsung. The iRiver got editor's choice on it's CNet review, so I was closing in on it, until I saw it's appearance. It was Red, Black, and Silver with a Blue Backlight. Can anyone say, tacky? Your friends out there who probably don't know any other mp3 player exists other than the iPod(which I recommend to avoid due to its horrendous battery life, high price, no FM Tuner or Voice Recorder, and lack of other features) would not be impressed at all and think it was a knockoff purchased from the streets of New York. Yes, the iRiver has great functions, features and is jam-packed, but a big deal for me is the appearance, so I would have bought the iRiver if nothing better came along. In comes the Samsung YP-T5H.

A friend of mine had an older model of a 128mb Samsung, I believe it was the Pendant, but it looked nice and was small and compact with good features. Well I went to Amazon and CNet to check it out when I saw a new line of Yepp`s coming in, the YP-T5H and YP-T5V. Now, at first I wanted the T5V, since it had 256 mb memory. But I didn't like its color, I was attracted to the Platinum color of the Y5H. It was a beauty. But it looked big and blocky. So I had to go to Best Buy myself to check it out. And boy, was that thing small. Grab a normal Crayola Marker, take of the cap. The mp3 player is that big, the size of the cap. Since it had great looks and size, and it had a good list of features, I bought it to try it out.

This thing is loaded with features! It has an FM Tuner, Voice Recording, FM Encoding, Lyrics Database, and oh yea, of course, music playing. The sound quality is good, the LCD is easy to read and informative. The Voice Recorder is crisp and clear and the FM Radio is sufficient. It has great sound quality and a wide range of EQ Functions. And with its size, who could go wrong? The button layout is good, along with a joystick that seeks and changes the volume. The only thing it doesn't have that the new iRiver has is Line-In recording. Although not a big feature, this means you can bring any line-in jack and plug it into your mp3 player and it will record. Now who would use that? I don't know but for example, you could plug your VCR Line-In cable to the mp3 player and record a quote from a movie, or plug in your video game console line-in cable to the mp3 player and record your favorite video game tune.

The software is mediocre, it manages its own connection so no other program other than the software will recognize it as an mp3 player, so that means no RealOne Player or Windows Media Player. But oh well, I never used them anyway to manage my mp3 player. And it does what it is supposed to.

Now for its cons. I mentioned it is incredibly small, so like my *RIP* Rio S10, it can be very easy to steal or lose. So keep good responsibility of it. It has no AM Radio, so keep that in mind. And it doesn't have any line-in recording. But those are the only cons about this beauty.

If you want a player that is loaded, compact, good value, and could care less about the looks, get the new red iRiver player. Or if you want Line-In recording and place that over looks, get the iRiver player also. But if you want a loaded player that is extremely compact, outstanding value and looks great to impress friends, get this. At $119, who can go wrong? 128 mb should be enough for 2-3 full albums. The only thing you are missing is line-in recording but most people could do without that. The world's smallest mp3 player is highly recommended.

I bought this card to replace a Soundblaster 16 PCI. Having a VIA chipset in my computer, I was concerned about upgrading to any of Creative's cards, because of their infamous problems, so I picked this as a cost effective upgrade. Installation could not have been easier, and sound that it outputs is incredible, it is as good as any of the audigy cards that I have heard. If you are a major audiophile maybe this falls short for everyone else this is a first rate deal!!!!!

Pros: Small size
Over 3 hrs of music on a single CDR
very inexpensive media
Great Battery life
Pretty good anti skip

Cons:does not display song name or info just folder # and Track #.

This product rules. I can listen to all of my CDs and I don't have to listen to annoying radio commercials.

this is a must have for anybody with a iPod. very cool carrying case and it's easy to put on. deffinately a good buy

I never thought that a case could be as good and as protective as this one. This was alos the only case that i found safe, comfortable and easy to go running with. For the price of this item and what it offers, it is definetly worth it!!!

The description for this product says something like "fitted with the industry standard firewire port, to work with older iPods." This in direct contrast to the picture, which shows the newer connector and ipod. do not buy this for your older ipod!

First let me say this is a great product. Most of my friends have an MP3 player already so I've seen and tried my share of different MP3 players. I was always hesitant in getting an MP3 player because I just didn't feel I was getting my moneys worth. However, for the price, I don't see another product with the overall quality of the PAP3000. I have had the PAP3000 for a couple of weeks and it has worked flawlessly. The software is great, the play, skip and sound buttons are well placed for ease of use. The Audio player is lightweight and small but can support an additional flash memory card. Here is my take on the Pro's and Cons of the PAP3000:

Pros:
- Sound is excellent
- Easy to transfer files to the audio player
- It only takes 1 AA battery
- Upgradeable Flash memory
- Has 64meg memory built in?
- Great audio controls
- Has a belt clip

Cons'
- Cannot move songs in different sequence once they are downloaded on the PAP3000
- Head phones are just O.K.

I have quite a large MP3 collection, and finally decided to give these portable devices a go. After reading many reviews, it was clear that Intel released a quality product with their Pocket Concert model, and previews of this model reported that it would be on the same track. I like the look and feel of this player. It's a little bit larger than a pager, and has a sturdy belt clip. The faceplate is made up of a clear removeable plastic shell, and the back of the unit is made up of a soft rubbery material. The buttons, which surround the outer edges of the player are also made of rubber. The Intel software that comes bundled with the player is very straightforward, and allows you to manage playlists, re-order, and delete songs on the player. Transfer times (via USB) were quick at around 200K/s, so on average a song would take around 15 seconds to transfer. I was able to fit an hour of songs on the 64 MB of internal memory.

Pros: Small size, bass & treble adjust, flexible volume control, good sound, customizable faceplate, MMC expansion slot.

Cons: Not many! The rubber over the buttons reduces their responsiveness.

got this 3 years ago. very happy with the 10 hours of use on 1 AA. i have dropped it a couple of times, cover comes off which helps lessen the impact and i put the cover back on and all is well. software is musicmatch which works well and it supports all the formats i am aware of WMA, MP3,MP3Pro and WAV. small and light enough i take it when i travel and run. my only quip is the memory size, but it offers expansion with the MMC which is cheap enough these days. overall, excellent product.
