Samsung YP-T9JQU 2 GB Digital Multimedia Player (Purple) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I reviewed this shortly after i got it on the link for the black one. AS far as i know they are the same minus the color difference.So I'll make this one a bit shorter drag and drop works out of the box.Sound is good gets pretty loud on the headphones. I have yet to test the battery life under normal conditions but at work with the volume maxed and street mode on i got around 7 hours. Mind you this is maxed volume with the added drain of the street feature so it may very well get close to the specified 30 or so hours advertised under normal conservative use; i.e no constant background etc.I dd have a chance to encode a small video. I do not recall the orig. format .vi most likely seemed pretty fast on my modest machine (1.8 sempron) quality is good size aroun 224x? On the player it looks really clean albeit small.All in all very good player for the price.

Product Description:
The Samsung YP-T9JQU 2 GB Digital Multimedia Player (Purple) is a slim, lightweight portable digital multimedia player. This compact unit is full-featured enough for the multimedia enthusiast but easy enough to navigate through and use for the complete digital-age newcomer, and it's the perfect companion for everything from sitting on a bus on your way to school, to going to the gym.
The primary purpose of the Samsung YP-T9JQU is, of course, to play music, for which this audio player is well equipped. Compatible with MP3, WMA, and protected WMA DRM (digital rights management) 10 audio formats, the T9 features DNSe (digital natural sound engine) technology for a clear, full sound, and a 9-band customizable EQ with 11 preset modes for all types of musical preferences. This unit supports playlists, as well as an internal favorites list that acts as an on-the-go playlist, and is subscription service compatible (Janus DRM). All the regular modes of playback are included, such as repeat, repeat one, shuffle, and normal, but this unit also includes a variable playback speed setting that speeds-up or slows-down your music from 3x to -3x the recorded speed. Furthermore, to protect your sensitive hearing Samsung's T9 series has an option to limit the audio output level so you don't accidentally damage your ears due to uneven recording volumes.
Unlike many MP3 players, the YP-T9JQU doesn't just limit you to the music you already have. The built-in FM tuner will scan the entire FM range in under 60 seconds, and automatically place the available FM stations in to presets. To eliminate stations with marginal reception, users can adjust the sensitivity to only preset stations with a strong reception. What's more, the T9 will actually let you record directly from FM in MP3 format for playback later, even allowing you to select recording quality ranging from 96 to 192 kbps. And since this unit has a built-in microphone as well, you can also choose to record live sound or your own audio notes, also in MP3 format ranging from 32 to 128 kbps in quality, so you never need to miss a lecture or catch every word of a presentation again.
More than just a music player, the Samsung YP-T9JQU supports the playback of video in the MPEG4 file format, with a video resolution of 208 x 176 pixels at a frame rate of 15 fps. This unit even comes with Samsung's Multimedia Software that transcodes the video on your computer before transferring it to your multimedia player so the files on your T9 play at an optimal frame size and rate with minimal effort on your part. This Samsung multimedia player will also allow you to view JPEG images, complete with the ability to zoom and re-center an image, and set any saved JPEG image as your wallpaper to be used during music playback. And for those users constantly on the go, the YP-T9JQU allows you to view text files in customizable views, and delete files directly from your player without having to use a computer, so you can download the mornings email and take it with you on your way to the office, school, or an important meeting. But Samsung doesn't stop there, preloading the T9 with built-in flash games including Baseball and Pizza Delivery, as well as the ability to download new flash games and even delete current ones to make room for more.
The Samsung T9 multimedia player is built with a macromedia portable user interface with simple, intuitive menus and a 5-button front side controller. Menu navigation as well as video and pictures are displayed on a sharp, clear 1.8-inch TFT LCD with 262,000 colors and an adjustable brightness ranging from zero to 10. This unit supports 16 different languages for your menu view, and 32 different languages for ID3 tag information. The T9 allows you to choose between five different menu colors, even allowing you to shuffle colors at random so you get a different one every time you turn the unit on. During music playback you can set the display to show flash visualizers, JPEG photos, or the album cover art of what is playing, and power-saving features let you adjust your screen saver, sleep timer, LCD off and auto power-off settings.
The Samsung YP-T9JQU comes with two gigabytes of internal flash memory for storing up to 500 songs at 128 kbps, up to 20,000 JPEG photos, or up to 138 hours of audio recordings at 32 kbps. This unit has a built-in, rechargeable lithium-ion polymer battery with a capacity of 740 mAh that allows up to 30 hours of audio play time, or up to six hours of video play time. The Samsung T9 has a 20 mWatts per-channel output, and includes a USB 2.0 connector for interfacing with your PC, as well as a 24-pin UART (universal asynchronous receiver-transmitter) chip and 3.5mm earphone out connector. This multimedia player requires Windows XP or higher for subscription services, and comes with a pair of EP-370 balanced earphones so you can start listening to your music from the very first day. The YP-T9JQU comes with a stylish purple finish, weighs only 1.73 ounces, measures just 1.68 x 3.27 x 0.44 inches (W x H x D).
What's in the Box
Samsung YP-T9JQU 2 GB digital audio player, 1 x pair of EP balanced earphones, 1 x USB cable, installation CD with Samsung Media Studio software, and a user's manual.

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.

Samsung YP-Z5ZB 1 GB Digital Audio Player (Black) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Pros: Good sound, easy to set up and use, has many popular functions, good rechargeable battery life, good sound. I got a refurbished unit, and it looked and acted like brand new, for a fraction of the retail price. This player has Samsung's normal high quality.
Cons: I sometimes wish it had an FM receiver, it doesn't take album art, and the touch-sensitive buttons aren't very accurate. All this detracts very little from the overall functionality, though.

Summary: I don't care for the iPod, and this player does what I need for less money, which translates more bang for the buck, considering the value, AND I can get music from anywhere, and not tethered to Apple.

Samsung YP-MT6X 512 MB Digital Audio Player Blue Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I've had the player a couple weeks and really like it.I don't have a lot to add in terms of pros/cons, but here is some info which you may find useful.

From the YP-MT6 user manual it is not clear that REPEAT ALL can apply to all the songs in folder (rather than all of the songs in the player), but it is possible. Set PLAY MODE to REPEAT ALL. Using NAVIGATION, navigate until the desired folder is highlighted. Press the PLAY/PAUSE button.

If, however, you navigate to a song within the folder before pressing PLAY/PAUSE, then all songs in the player will be repeated.

I've only tested this with firmware 1.2.

For those considering purchasing a YP-MT6 who are not clear on the PLAYLIST function, the PLAYLIST function only allows defining one group of songs at a time as the PLAYLIST, i.e., you cannot have multiple PLAYLISTs and then select which PLAYLIST you want to repeat. (The PLAYLIST group is defined by marking each desired song using the M button.) This only-one-PLAYLIST restriction is why I searched for a way to repeat a folder.

Personally, I really like the YP-MT6X, but was questioning my purchase decision until I figured out how to repeat a Folder.

Also, if you are trying decide between the 512MB X and the 1GB Z, my X is full at 102 songs in WMA format at the default bit rate, which gives reasonable quality. These songs are, I believe, a normal-sized mix -- if you were playing classical music, obviously you would get a lot less. I had read that OGG-format files were smaller and offered better quality, but my test with a few songs indicated that the file size remained about the same -- so I decided to keep my life simple. Beyond my cursory test, there are extensive tests of formats and bit rates available on the web. For those who want to evaluate alternative formats, the free dBpowerAmp Music Converter works well.

Also, if you using Real Player, I found that even when you download Real Player playlists to the YP-MT6, RP places the songs into the YP-MT6's root directory. So I used Windows Explorer to create a Folder on the YP-MT6 and then dragged the songs to the Folder. Then downloaded the next playlist using RP. (For any anti-RP advocates, I started using RP because it has a Sony NetMD driver.)

Also, I've found the Koss QZ-99 headphones to be a good match to the YP-MT6 in a noisy environment (e.g., 16-HP lawn tractor). The YP-MT6 has just enough power to drive the QZ-99 adequately --but not enough power to threaten your hearing. The QZ-99's are bulky and heavy, so there are better choices for other environments. The QZ-99 has a long coiled cord, which can be kept out of the way by tying it to the top of the head band with nylon ties (definitely kludgy) -- then you can stick the player in a shirt pocket, thereby reducing the risk of the cord becoming entangled.

Product Description:
Amazon Product Description A model of amazing portability, Samsung's YP-MT6X digital-audio player is smaller than a pack of chewing gum but still very big on features. The tiny (2.3 x 1 x 1-inch) player offers 512 MB onboard memory for about 8.5 hours of 128 kbps digital music, an FM radio tuner, radio recording, a built-in condenser microphone for voice recording, and a stereo analog line input so you can encode your own MP3s directly from your cassette tapes, LPs, TV, you name it--with no computer interface required. It helps to have a PC, of course, when you're converting your CDs to MP3, WMA, ASF, or Ogg Vorbis (an open-source format that tends to sound a bit better, on average, than an equivalent-sized MP3 file). File transfers from your computer to the YP-MT6X are a breeze with a USB 2.0 connection (cable supplied), and the device is also compatible with USB 1.1 computers. You can use the YP-MT6X for file storage and transport, too--simply drag-and-drop from your Windows OS--irrespective of its abilities as a media player. Tailor your audio using the player's 8 preset equalizer curves, or engage its onboard SRS WOW processing, which simulates vivid 3D sound from any source. A single AA battery (included) is good for an amazing 42 hours of continuous playback, and the player's 4-line backlit LCD provides a clear view of each file's ID3 tag (artist, track) information. The perfect companion for your workouts, commutes, and travel. What's in the Box MP3 player, 1 AA battery, a neck strap, a direct-connect USB adapter, a carrying case, stereo earphones, a USB cable, an installation CD, an in-line encoding cable, a user's manual, and warranty information.

Samsung YH-820MC 5 GB Digital Audio Player Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)First of all, I'd like to say that I have NO idea what anyone here is talking about. I purchased this MP3 player, have loaded over 2000 songs in it, and never ONCE installed napster. the installation of napster is just NOT necessary! i never installed it. i stuck with realplayer, which works VERY well and I am very pleased. I use my mp3 player for hours every day and have NEVER had any problems with it. The only issue I have with it is that it does take about 15 seconds to start it up. But that doesn't make any difference to me. Who needs music to startup right away anyway?! I am not a camera person, but I have used the photo album. I'm pleased with it, but that wasn't the reason I bought it for. In conclusion, this mp3 player is very nice, despite what was said by the crazy people below. And not ONCE have I had an issue with the Hard Drive. This mp3 player might be a little pricy, but if youre willing to spend the amount, the color screen makes it worth it. The headphones included are very acceptable, and I am extremely satisfied with my samsung mp3 player.

Samsung YP-K3JAB 4 GB Ultraslim MP3 Player Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)YP-K3 came in a cute little box. I opened it, plugged it into a USB port on a Dell WinXP machine and it immediately came up as a hard drive. I drag&dropped several dozen mp3s (transfer was super-fast!) and K3 started playing them with an astonishing sound quality (at least as good as the ubiquitous IPod if not better). No need to get tied to a stupid buggy proprietary software for mp3 conversion&transfer. I refused to purchase an IPod for this reason for over a year. YP-K3 plays radio as well, and it looks very stylish. What more can you ask for? (unless you are looking for an overpriced robot dog or a massage chair you can plug this into.)

Samsung YP-T7JZ 1 GB Digital Audio Player with FM Tuner & Recorder Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Great sound.Sensible menu structure.You can use Windows Media Player or drag and drop files and folders.Has line in.Has built in microphone or you can use line in.FM radio actually works fairly well.You can record from FM too.Compression rate is selectable from unit as opposed to PC.Very small but still able to push buttons with old, beat up fingers.Screen very readable, unlike my Erickson/Sony cell phone.Battery life is reasonable.Customer support has been great.I had one problem that required help from the "next level" and he explained how to fix PC related problem.

Draw backs. Requires USB port to charge (or separate USB charger that you buy).Supplied ear buds are terrible.If you want to listen to music you will have to buy something better.Does not work with Mac OS X.You cannot drag and drop from Mac.Player is not recognized at all by Mac.Technical support says if you put more than 9 folders on player, it may (or may not) erase something already there.They are working on upgrade to firmware to address this issue.

Overall I am very pleased with player and use almost all the features.I highly recommend it.iPod comes up short on features by comparison.
