Yp Mp3 Software Counts Too
Com Samsung YP-Z5 If youre looking for a tiny, well-built, color-screen MP3 player with excellent sound, the Samsung YP-Z5 is a great choice.The market of portable digital audio players is one of the most competitive ones in the consumer electronics' field, quite a large number of companies fighting for that second place (the first being held firmly by the iPod).Samsung YP-Q1JEB/XEU 16GB Black MP3/4 Multimedia Player Works w/ BBC iPlayer. The USB connector is a clever design, but Samsung needs to realize that the software counts too, and if the accompanying programs confuse people, it. This may be by design, but I found it annoying. In addition to playing MP3s, the YP-U1 comes with a voice recorder, but it has a funny quirk that when you stop recording, the unit shuts down.
Youll see it next to your.One of the most important selling points of the Samsung YP-K5 is its design. Whether the YP-K5 model (because that's what we're talking about here) really managed to achieve this goal is a whole different matter, and you'll be able to judge for yourselves from the following review if Samsung's sleek, black player with a built-in speaker and a touch-panel for a control system deserves the title of "iPod challenger" or not.MP3 Video Converter With this great MP3 Video Converter, you can extract music from your favorite videos and set as ringtone. I bought this item about 5 years ago with my birthday money and it is the best MP4 I have ever come across.Samsung is one of the most important such companies, and on the 1st of September 2006, they've launched what they wanted to be a groundbreaking device, something the world had never seen before. Size Name: 8 GBColour Name: Black. Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 23 August 2012.
However, it's got a very good reason for its bulkier size, since half of the YP-K5 is actually a sliding and tilting built-in speaker that pops out from right under the player and allows users to enjoy their music out loud, without having to wear those pesky and sometimes uncomfortable headphones.The stereo speaker, which is actually YP-K5's trademark, sports a special sliding mechanism that resembles the one used in some Samsung cell phones. Compared to other portable players, this model is rather "fat", but, unlike other portable players, it inspires safety and sturdiness. It's something you don't see every day, a niche device that will either capture the user's attention at first sight or not at all.When switched off, the Samsung YP-K5 looks just like a big, black monolith.
One of the most annoying is the fact that the glossy surface of the touch-sensitive area gets filled with fingerprints in no time, and stays so until the user decides to wipe it clean, which is never an easy operation. After all, what better match is there for the device's overwhelming black color than the speaker's chrome finishing?However, the player does have some problems even in the design department. Thus, all the materials used for Samsung's player are of great quality, the finishing touches too, while the colors have been very well chosen. Moreover, the entire display and control area is surrounded by a small metal margin, or "lip", which prevents the device from being scratched, a very important feature, considering the fact that the YP-K5 is meant to be attractive at all times.It's quite clear that the YP-K5 has been created for a special brand of people that want their devices to be as good looking as they are technologically advanced. The overall effect is quite interesting, as the vivid colors of the OLED display are very well enhanced by the overall dark look of the YP-K5. Thus, both these elements are placed on the front side, under a translucent, yet very resistant plastic material.
All the other controls are touch-sensitive and are placed on the lower side of the device, under the display itself.The control system is as easy and simple as it gets. The power switch is placed on the top side, and users must hold it to the right for a few seconds in order to activate the player or switch it off. Thus, if the user presses a little harder on the cross-section of the Samsung YP-K5, the speaker tends to quickly pop out, even when not required to.The Samsung YP-K5 has relatively few control buttons. Although very interesting, it lacks one major feature: a locking button.
It's still not quite clear why Samsung has decided to go for a proprietary connector and gave up on mini-USB, but they're not the only ones that did so (iRiver and Apple also use proprietary connectors). The reason for the extra "Back" button is that whenever the user decides to listen to music on the speaker, the whole display and control system changes orientation from "portrait" to "landscape".The bottom side of the Samsung YP-K5 houses the only two connectors we'll find on this device, namely the headphones jack and the connector for the proprietary USB cable. There is also a "Menu" button in the bottom right side, as well as two "Back" buttons placed on the right and left side of the "Up" arrow.
A quick tour of Samsung's website will reveal that besides the obvious space difference, the two K5 versions look and perform exactly the same starting with the audio output and ending with battery life.According to the manufacturer's website, the specifications of the YP-K5 are the following:Internal Memory: 2GB (flash based, only about 1.8GBs are available to the user)Playing Time: Up to 30 hours using the headphones 6 hours using the speakers (volume at 75%, screen off)Package: Player, USB cable, headsets with bass-boost in-ear system, Software CDDimensions: 3.86"(W) x 1.87"(H) x. And it's quite probable that most people will simply give up on them altogether and either use the speaker, or get a normal pair of earbuds.Due to the fact that we've received the 2GB version of Samsung's player we will be referring specifically to this one and not to the 4GB unit. It takes a while to get used to them, and the nasty sensation of having a foreign object stuck down the ear canal never really goes away. They're meant to fit within the user's ear canal, and thus provide an increased level of outside sound isolation and much better bass.Nevertheless, they're not exactly a fantastic choice.
Now don't get me wrong, it's far from being perfect, especially since the mids and highs are not as clear as the lows. Besides the YP-K5 we also used a desktop X-Fi in headphone mode (audio creation mode, bit-matched playback, eq:off), and Ipod Nano (2nd generation, 2GB) and a Samsung YP-T9 (4GB version, includes Bluetooth transceiver)I have to say that when I first loaded the YP-K5 with the selected songs I didn't think it would sound that good.
