Samsung yepp YP-F1Z 1 GB Flash MP3 Player - White

Good Value

Strengths: small size.

Weakness: short battery life (~10 hours) compare to the Sony (~50) hours.

The manual says that the rechargeable battery is a consumable item and its capacity will decrease gradually. If you charge the battery and it is not completely drained, the battery operating time will decrease. I don't see how you can avoid not charging it before it is drained since everytime you connect to USB to transfer files, it is automatically being charged as it is using the same...

Samsung YP-F1Z is a great player

Strengths: Small, fits easily in pocket. Easy to use, screen has good resolution and is easy to read. Built in clip comes in handy and does not add to players size.

Weakness: Don't like white color of included earphones. Would like to have a line-in record capability.

Radio works well, voice record is good quality. Included USB power cord is also used for data transfer. I recommend also purchasing a 115v to USB power adaptor (ebay ~$7), that will allow you to recharge it without needing a running computer. I gave it as a gift and now I hear... "I like it because its mine!!! And I don't like sharing it!!!" Okay, so I will be buying a second one since I like it...

Samsung YP-F1G MP3 player is a great buy

Strengths: The small size makes it very easy to clip on while working out. This is my first player and the buttons and menus have been easy to figure out.

Weakness: It would be nice if it were a little easier to switch between the radio and the player, but it's a small problem.

This is my first experience with a music player and I really like the YP-F1Z. I wanted something very small, but with a lot of features and this unit has both. The player and the manual are both user friendly so I've had no problems setting it up. Samsung has a good web site so I was able to read the manual before the player arrived. The display on the screen has a lot more information than I...

YP-FIZ MP3 player

Strengths: excellent playback, small size, easy to use

Weakness: haven't found one yet

This MP3 player is awesome, it's small enough to be extremely helpful to a busy life but not too small where it's hard to use. I love the fact that it's chargeable, thats it's best asset, I would recommend this to anyone!

Great little player!

Strengths: Small size, lots of memory. Great sound. Great carrying options (belt clip or unique neck-hang). Music is easy (and fast) to load.

Weakness: Does not have replaceable batteries. Battery has memory effect (if you charge it up before it's completely run down, it will decrease its charge capacity). User interface is slightly complex.

1GB of great sounding music for around $100. Memory is flash, so there's no moving parts & no skips. However it also can't be upgraded. I mainly us it for the gym, walking, and bike riding. I really like the unique "necklace" for the player. It keeps the player out of the way and stable, but also easily accessable.

Big features in a small package

Strengths: - size is definitely a plus, perfect for the gym,running, etc. - supports multiple formats - great sound - built in radio a plus

Weakness: - headphones not the greatest - battery life could be longer (8-10 hrs)

Overall I am pleased with this product for the short time I am using it. Great option for a person with an active lifestyle. I wish they offered it with more built in memory (2-4 GB).

Small size big value

Strengths: Small size, great sound quality, easy to use.

Weakness: The headphones.

I like the YP-F1Z because it's compact and it doesn't get in the way when you're on the go. The sound quality is great and it hold's a lot of music for it's size. Another nice feature is because it's flash memory it doesn't skip during playback.

Best mp3 player ever

Strengths: Small (very portable), Great sound quality, plays Ogg Vorbis!

Weakness: Included software is not very usefull

It works great. I have not had any problems with it whatsoever. It is a million times better than the iPod shuffle and is about the same price. The features are great. It can record FM radio or voice. It works fine on Mac and Windows, just be sure to plug it in after the computer is turned on, otherwise it acts just like a flash drive. You can throw you music on there and go.

Awesome Runner's MP3 Player/Radio

Strengths: 1. Does NOT require using an armband - only tiny player with waist clip. 2. FM radio/tuner. 3. The unit has 1 GB of memory = tons of tunes. 4. Supports loads of formats.

Weakness: NONE!

This is the perfect MP3 player for runners. I say this because it is just about the only tiny (and boy is it tiny) MP3 player on the market that has a body/belt clip instead of the non ubiquitous armband/neckstrap cop out solution that most manufacturers seem to employ (and which saves them an arm and a leg on manufacturing and creates a secondard revenue stream for them by selling accessories)....

Samsung YP-F1Z

Strengths: Small size, clip-on convenience.

Weakness: Fm reception, software, user manual.

As this is my first mp3 player, my inexperience may contribute to some of the negative impressions I have. The manual doesn't guide one through the setup procedure very well-you have to jump between sections, and important points are added almost as an afterthought(i.e. tips on naming files). However, once I muddled through my first attempts to setup the player and got it done properly, I have...
