Samsung YP-Z5A - Easy Listening

Advantages: Good-looking, great picture quality, easy to manage music files, great sound quality, scratch-proof
Disadvantages: A little overpriced for the capacity, battery life not too great

I've had this Samsung 4GB MP3 player for a year now and even though I use an iPod Classic, the Samsung YP-Z5A is an excellent little gadget with plenty of extras. Good Points: The quality of the screen is excellent - good, crisp images which are lovely and bright (brightness can be changed with the settings). It's easy to navigate - with a sensitive touch pad to scroll through songs easily but also "firm" buttons to press which add to the ease of ...
...and easily controlled with buttons at the side. Rounded edges and a scratch/fingermark resistant surface makes this an attractive looking player. The headphones that came with it were also nice-looking, but ended up breaking (read on!). Putting music files on to this player is pleasingly easy - as we all know, there's nothing worse than sitting for hours trying to work stuff out. This player uses the "drag and drop" method, which is so easy you can't ...

Nice player, with many quirks

Advantages: Many diverse functions
Disadvantages: Functions often underdeveloped, firmware development already stopped.

...MP3 tags) or from within Samsung Media Studio (which additionally supports OGG tags and cover art; software available only for Windows) Video: Because the maximum capacity with which the T9 is sold is 8 GB, which most users will use for music, the video function remains a gimmick. The only videos playable are DivX-Avis created with Samsung Media Studio. As the frame rate of videos is as low as 15 per second, movement does not look smooth. The videos ...
...to computers using a proprietary Samsung USB plug (which makes it hard to ever find a new cable should you lose the one coming with your player). When connecting the T9 to a computer it always begins charging (which takes about four hours to complete -- a resulting battery uptime of about 25 hours seems more realistic than 30 hours); there is no good way to connect the player to a socket -- generic power-plug-to-USB chargers are incompatible. The ...

...a shot to see what Microsoft had to offer with the revolutionary new Zune HD. With that said, lets dive into the review. ---Appearance--- So lets start off with something purely superficial. The aesthetics of this player are outstanding. This player is extremely slim, it's small and fits in the hand well, and only has 3 buttons on it to make it appear as simple as possible. On the lower front of the player is a small bar that acts as a menu button, ...
...directly to the menu. The button on the side brings up an on screen option panel with song changing options, play, pause and volume. The top button will power on the player or bring the screen back on if you have it turned off (it will also turn the screen off in the first place to save power.) I'll also include a description of the OLED screen on this player that definitely outshines the competition. I'll keep it relatively short but to put it plain ...
