Samsung YP-Z5ZB 1 GB

I bought a Samsung YPZ5 a few years back after having broken my previous MP3 and seeing this one discounted in an Argos sale booklet. It was a few years back and I’ve lost the receipt so I can’t remember exactly, but it was around £30 and it got great reviews. So, there I was with no MP3 to my name, looking at a £30 MP3 that had pretty good ratings and I thought to myself – why not? Features The Samsung YPZ5 is an MP3 player that was part of Samsung’s new line of music playing devices, released a few years ago. Its compatible not just MP3 files types, but also OGG’s, WMA’s, WMA-DRM’s and it is ... more

Now I have never been one to conform, and getting into the media hype about the latest and greatest I-Pod always left me on the verge of tears. My mum has one, my sister has one and so does my partner - granted they are all different types but they all bear the apple logo. Every time they have one out, within seconds there is something better, an upgrade, 500 accessories (of course in 12 different colours) and before long I found my head exploding. Therefore when I finally decided to get my own MP3 player (humming tunes during an hour long bus journey 5 times a week created several funny ... more

This product has been a part of me for 4 years now ever since it came out, as it is now able to be bought at a low price of around £40 this is a must for anyone looking for a competitive product. I thought that this product would be overtake in technology by now bu it appears not. With its strong aluminum casing, this model will not break in your pocket, even after bieng thrown against a wall this is a safe bet. With a long lifespan (in years) and excellent earphones (3.5mm) you cant not get it. Suprisingly this roduct was missed by most people when it first came out so you can be sure that ... more

Samsung YP-Z5 the player has a better sound and battery life, compared to the ipod Nano. I have had my 1GB player for about 4 months now, Don't be put off about the controls, you get used to it pretty quick and wonder what all the fuss was about. But When I first used the controls I was pressing down a little to had on the pad and then it stared to go all funky on me, it would just only go up or down, this problem was resolved by resting the player. Transferring music is incredibly straight forward through Windows Media player. Grab an album from your list and drop it across in the sync list ... more

This is so easy to use, lightweight and looks great. Batery life isn't that great and you do have to charge it up through your laptop. But as am always using it, it doesn't bother me. The touchpad is sensative and can become annoying when it just isn't doing what your askind it to do. Somtimes ever just turning it on can take a while but once it's on it's great and so easy to use. Downloading tunes, pictures etc to it can't be simplier and you don't have to mess with changing the format of your tunes to iplaer etc. So you can get all of your old CD's out and download it onto this machine ... more

One thing I will say about the Samsung YP-Z5 is that it is VERY delicate. To scroll though the music, you use the arrow buttons in the middle which you only have to lightly touch, ( like a touch screen phone). I had, had my Samsung YP-Z5 for a few months when all of a sudden I foudn I couldnt scroll though to choose which song / artist to listen to. It seems that the touch pad had become damaged, seeing as this was a gift I had taken good care of it so was surpirsed it had become damaged so easily. In fairness Samsung sent me a new one quickly as I had a gurantee on it. I have seen the mp3 as ... more
