Samsung YP-Z5AB 4 GB Digital Audio Player (Black) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I owned a Iriver H10 5GB which died 13 months after I purchased it. The player was problematic at best when it did work.Very poor customer support etc, so I wanted to do a lot of research before I spent $200+ dollars on a player.FYI if you plan on running purchase a MP3 player that uses flash memory, any Hard drive based model does not take shock well.
I eventually got down to the Samsung 4GB and San disk 4/6 Gb models.I decided to purchase the Samsung and have been very pleased. I was used to windows media player and have mostly WMA files and some WMA-10 (copy protected files).It was seemless to transition to Samsung.I used playlists already on my computer and added about 2 GB of songs and was up and running in 20 minutes max.Player charged fully in 1.5 hours and the playback is excellent.I have never submitted a review before but since it was hard to find many opinions online I wanted to share mine. The only downside is that you do have to plug into a computer to charge but this is not a big issue for me. I do not travel often and I have a laptop I can use if need be.
