For my birthday last year i wanted to get somthing that i can listen to my music on. I dont really buy cds or cassettes, i normally download music from the internet. So i decided i want a MP3 player. Looking around various Electronic shops including dixons, currys and HMV all the mp3 players they had were all around £250-300. This for me was too dear. One day i decided to look in a shop just around the corner from me to see if they had any mp3 players. There i saw a Samsung Yepp 64mb Mp3 Player, for only £190. So i decided to buy it, i was very pleased with my purchase and have still got it to this day.
Specification - - - - - - - - - - - 64 Of built in memory - Slot for smart card media (memory) - Informative LCD display - Phone Directory - Voice recording
Appearance - - - - - - - - - - The Yepp mp3 player, is a small lovely looking thing. Its silver, it has a LCD screen on the front and also has a big round button which controls Play, Rewind, Fastforward, Stop and Pause. It also has 3 buttons above, Voice record, Erase tracks and mode select (from voice to mp3 player). On the side of the Mp3 player, it has volume control, Repeat, Equalizer and the hold switch. On the back it has a clip so you can clip it onto your belt and carry it around easily. The headphone jack is on the top and is easy to find. The batteries go into the side of the mp3 player, it has a slot where you clip off and fit two AAA batteries into it.
Software - - - - - - - - With the mp3 player, you get Yepp Explorer software and real jukebox so you can encode your music into smaller files so that you can fit more mp3 files onto your mp3 player. The yepp explorer software is what you use so that you can connect your mp3 player to your computer and then transfer the mp3 files onto it. Once installed you will open your Yepp explorer software and plug your mp3 player into the USB or LPT1 port (depending on which one you get). Then you will choose which file and then it will download to your mp3 player.
Memory - - - - - - - The Yepp MP3 player has a built in 64mb memory card. This can hold up to around 18 songs at 3 minutes each at normally quality. It has a memory expansion slot so that you can put another 64mb card and upgrade it to 128mb memory. This is so you can hold more songs on. As time goes on, bigger capicity memory cards are being made available so you can fit more and more songs on one card, i think the biggest nowadays is a 128mb smart media flash card available from electronics stores priced around £70.
Batteries - - - - - - - - The yepp needs 2 AAA batteries to run. The battery time will vary depending on the volume you have it on. The higher the volume the less you will get out of the battery. If you have it on a low volume setting it will last around 8 hours, if not it will last around 2-3 hours. I suggest you get a few sets of batteries and then get a battery charger, that way while your using two another two will be ready to use by the time the others have run out.
Equalizer - - - - - - - - The equalizer is a special setting which changes the sound of the mp3 file that you are playing, they feature:
Jazz or Jazz 3D - Balance suitable for Jazz Music Rock or Rock3D - Balance suitable for Rock Music Classic or Classic 3D - Balance suitable for Classic Music
Phone Directory - - - - - - - - - - - - The phone book is there for you to store phone numbers in your yepp mp3 player just so that you can view them anytime, if you dont have anything to write the number down on you can write it in your mp3 player and then you can send it to your computer afterwards. You use the Mp3 player software to do this.
Headphones and Voice Recording - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - The headphones are small in-ear headphones. They are very handy and small as they fit into your pocket easily and also fit right inside your ear so you get the most out of the sound. They are clearly labelled left and right so you know which ears they can go in, like most headphones the lead always gets tangled because you put the headphones in the wrong ear. Voice recording is easy, you choose the option and then speak into the headphones, as they act as a microphone. The file will then be stored onto your mp3 player ready for you to upload to your computer and then play as a WAV file.
Conclusion - - - - - - - - - If you want a cheap and reliable mp3 player well then i recommend this. I like this a lot as its small and it fits just the right amount of songs, i always listen to this even though i have speakers on my computer but i can carry this around. You can add memory to it so you can listen to more songs. One of my best buys.

I would appreciate comments On This Op! Korn Kid 2001
...about the now rather old Samsung Yepp E-32. As I write, I am using it right now!
I managed to get my hands on one just this morning after getting it off ebay for just over £50, which is less than half the price of the current retail version. Although it has been used, it is still in very good condition, except I'd much rather get myself a new set of headphones than use old ones. The headphones supplied match the style of the player, however, I have ... ...in the box was the Samsung Yepp E32 player, CD-ROM, manual, cable and batteries, headphones. The software supplied is outdated but I easily downloaded an updated version from their website www.samsungyepp.com.
The software installed easily, which is called the Yepp Explorer, looks similar but more compact version of Windows Explorer. You can drag and drop music from your hard drive onto the Yepp Explorer window which then copies the mp3 to the actual ...

...fly.
A huge minus for Samsung though, for making the clip that afixes the two AAA batteries really fragile... the first time I dropped it, the small plastic snapper that was responsible for holding it shut broke... now I have to use adhesive tape for making it work.
Also it reacts really strange to heat exposure, keeping it in your pocket where you stick your hands into heats it up to 100°F, 38°C, 311 K, whatever you want to put it, which makes ... ...to skip back, whatever I tried, every button i pressed made it skip the current track forward... only a "reset" by removing the batteries for a second removed this effect...
As for the topic i choose, this fragility doesnt't apply to the other parts of the Yepp player at all... I dropped it from the top of the stairs and it fell very noisy a good 3 meters before crashing in the hard stone floor... all through this it kept playing and didn't even ...

Advantages: Small great design Disadvantages: Lack in features.
I bought this tiny MP3 player in April '01 and it is a real bopper. It is simple to use and complete with an easy to understand manual. The software is just as simple.
Specification are 64MB built in memory but mine is actually just over 67MB.
Powered using 2*AAA batteries lasting 10hrs (Alkaline) Included.
Large clear screen with 3 lines of text each with 10 characters.
The dynamic small design is a mear 65*87*17.2mm weighing 75 grams.

Voice records up to 125 tracks or 256 minutes which is easily uploaded to your PC. One touch record.
A built in phone book consisting of name, telephone and office, with a capacity of 350 entries.
The memory is upgradable with Yepp cards 16MB at £20, 32MB at £40 and 64MB at £70.
JUST FOUND HOW TO UPGRADE FOR ALOT CHEAPER. You can use 3.3V smartmedia card available from Amazon.co.uk. Cost £40 for 64MB.

Advantages: Small, good sound quailty, recorder, telephone book, free software, guarantee Disadvantages: Napster losing in court, headphones. Memory cards are expensive I think.
I got my 64 Mb in March 2000, and over a year later it still rates as a very good MP3 player that looks pretty nice as well. The sound quality is very good although I tend to sacrifice the quality (96 Kbps) for the quantity (you can manage to fit 25 songs on average). There are also other features that you may or may not find particularly useful; the recorder (I managed to incriminate a few people of naughty things without them knowing that it was ... ...can't store numbers on the Yepp directly but you can downloading them). Another beauty about the MP3 player, well for most MP3 players, is that it is so small. You hardly notice if it is in your pocket unlike a portable CD or tape player, actually I thought I had lost it a few times but the sound coming through the headphone reminds me it is still there! That is one diadvantage - the headphones are not too good but you can always get some decent ...

Advantages: Great sound quality, looks, features, price Disadvantages: Cheesy name, is mp3 really the future?
...Sound Quality Samsung provide some really great headphones with this player, and the player itself has a really good output. You can run the player through your hi-fi and not know whether your listening to a huge Sony CD player, or your diddy little Yepp! Yepps will also go really loud if you want them to, without rattling or blowing the headphones. Features Along with your mp3 playing bit, you also get a dictaphone and phone book. The dictaphone ... ...files recorded can be put directly on to your PC. The telephone book is fairly pointless, but nobody makes you use it... The player also features the ability to create audio environments whilst listening to mp3s, such as 'Rock 3D' which lets you have a heavier, fuller sound (by changing the treble and bass automatically). Battery life I'm sure this thing makes power... Batterires last for weeks, not like your CD or tape players... Software The software ...

Manufacturer's product description
Yepp is designed for the young New Millennium generation, which is revolutionizing the way music is heard and experienced. Over the Internet community, the personal computer is quickly replacing the stereo system for providing high fidelity digital quality music and the Internet is becoming a major source of music information and content. Yepp appeals to your energetic lifestyle. With its extremely small form factor, you can take Yepp with you no matter where you go, whether you're trekking through the Himalayas or just jogging around the park. The fact that Yepp has no moving parts and an aluminum front case also means it is better at handing the hard knocks you may experience along the way. Yepp plays MP3 digital audio music files downloaded from your computer. It has a high power output signal (7mW) and a seven-mode equalizer. Yepp is one of smallest and lightest MP3 players on the market. You can connect it to your belt with its handy clip or you can carry it in your pocket and barely notice it's there. Yepp's 3-line LCD display lets you see the titles of the songs stored on your MP3 player. This feature will be useful, since the RealJukebox PC software that is provided with Yepp lets you put together custom play lists of your choosing. Yepp can be used to access a phone directory of hundreds of personal contacts. The information is entered on your PC and is downloaded in the same way that you would download an MP3 music file from your PC. You can record up to two hours of voice using Yepp's voice recording function. You can use Yepp to record your school class or store messages that will remind you of things you need to do. You can then e-mail your voice messages to anyone you want!
