Review of Samsung Yepp YP-Z5AB MP3 Player
At the right price,(I paid £60)the Samsung Yepp YP-Z5AB makes a lot of sense, listening to music is what these players are all about, and this it does brilliantly. It may not have the kudos of an iPod but once its in your pocket who's bothered.
PROS: Truly excellent sound, i'm a bit of an audiophile and had my reservations about mp3's, but after buying this for my wifes birthday I was gob-smacked. It has a spacious airy sound that is also pacy without ever sounding harsh.The headphones are the most co
CONS: The supplied software wouldn't work on my vista PC, but then what does. The touch pad takes a while to master but it becomes intuitive after a while. I also can't get a case for it in the shops, there are plenty on-line though.

iPod? Every time a new MP3 player is released by a company other than Apple, it is always compared directly to the famous iPod. We have no doubt that the multitude of manufacturers are getting sick of it, but as with all market leaders, their needs

"Looks and acts and sounds superb!"
What a superb player. I have the 4gb and my wife has the 2gb. I have had to do a bit of fiddling around with some of our albums in order to get the album art displayed on the player- but the majority did without any problem. There are at least...
