Portable MP3 Players > Samsung Portable MP3 Players

Advantages: Small Sleek and Sexy
Disadvantages: None

...a white version of the Samsung YP-U3 1GB mp3 for my technophobe friend a couple of weels ago and must say it is an extremely cool bit of kit. It arrived in a small plastic box which was extremely well presented and fit through my letter box perfectly. There is no seperate USB cable as the USB attachment is built into the player which slots out easily to connect to the pc. Synchronising music on the player is also a piece of cake and after an hour ...
...friend's favourite music. It also has a built in FM tuner which works fairly well in picking up stations. The functions on the player are very easy to use with touch sensitive controls and the blue backlit LCD screen tells you everything you need to know. It goes blank after a minute or so and looks like its switched off which I guess is a battery saving function. It plays MP3, WMA, ASF and OGG files and also features a voice control function. ...

Advantages: High quality, good price, great performance, great look and durable
Disadvantages: Couldn't find any

I've had this wonderful little mp3 player for a couple of months now and it can do no wrong by me, i love it! It comes with 2gb of memory, in my opinion that's perfect, roughly 500 songs is enough for me lol, it is has flash memory so you can use it as a memory stick as well and not just for music. It looks very stylish and the buttons are very cool. It is also very durable, i've lost count of how many times i've dropped and there is not a scratch ...
...also comes with a surprisingly useful set of headphones and is available in 5 different colours black, pink, green, white and light blue. The battery life is very good, it claims 15 hours and i have had that out of it. I used it just last week on a train journey that took 2 hours and when i got home i just put it down and forgot to turn it of, as i woke up the next morning it was still playing music, so the battery is very good. The sound quality ... Read review

Advantages: excellent playback, radio reception is amazing, too many to mention - price etc
Disadvantages: not compatible with iTunes

...and missed out on the Samsung YP-U3 4GB which at £65 comes in as the best mp3 player I have owned or had the pleasure to use. Available in 3 sizes, the Samsung YP-U3 is priced at £35, £50 and £65 for the 1, 2 and 4GB models respectively and while the smaller memory models are available in a range of bright and funky colours, the 4GB model which I opted for is like a Model T Ford, available in any colour as long as it is black. Like other mp3 players ...
...beyond repair after only 18 months of fairly light use so I am delighted to have come across the Samsung YP-U3 as the memory capacity of 1200 songs will never be totally filled, the radio reception and playback quality is fantastic and best of all, it is simple to use. ... Read review

Advantages: Sleek, Battery Life, Easy to Use, Great add-ons
Disadvantages: Cleaning the god darned thing, Earphones

The YP-K3 is one the most recent ontakes of the Ultra-Slim range of MP3 players. It had a heatpad touchscreen which pops out of nowhere when you turn it on, a very large (For me) 2GB memory (Which is slightly less with every MP3 Player). It is extremely thin which makes it very appealing to the eye, and the ability to listen to the radio, and view pictures. So with the latest iPod nano craze, i wanted to go a little different, and so i chose the ...
...price was £89.99 when it first came out In argos it is now £49.99 since there is an unpraded version now out. 25 hours battery life. Earphones supplied. 1 inch screen Toggle at the side which toggles on/off and Lock FM Tuner with Preset Capability Out with the boring stuff, in with the new! How, lets test what i think a good MP3 player should have. ""-Decent Battery Life-"" I consider a decent battery life to be around 15 hours. So ... Read review

Advantages: Incredibly well spec
Disadvantages: no major faults

iPod - a word that makes me want to vomit. I can't stand Apple, and never have been able to - though i have many friends who swear by them. So, when searching for an mp3 player that WASN'T an iPod i struggled. Now, wandering through town, despondant and weary my bearing perked up as i wandered into a local little electronics place and spotted this - the price was right, it had enough memory... I'll take it! So, we'll start with teh cons... You ...
...this is a major pain in the backside as it means you can't actually do anything with it at all while its cold. The random play seems to like the same thirty or so tracks. Now, seeing as you load it up with tracks you like, this seems to be a good thing in a bizarre way - its really not. you get tired of it after a while! Now, the considerably longer list of Pro's! The included software is fantastic - its a music player for the computer - basically ... Read review
