First mp3 player, pretty good [Posted on 2008-05-02]
I ordered the Samsung S5 a few months ago and so far it has proven to be a pretty well made player.
I was a bit wary at first because this was my first mp3 player and wanted something other than an iPod. Not because I'm anti Apple, but because people should realize that a lot have more features than the iPod.
Anyway, What I like about it is the size, sound quality, and the capacity. It struck me as odd however that the 8gig version will never be available in the North American market unless you get it imported. The Bluetooth has also come in handy many times for when I'm working and will not be able to hear the phone otherwise. However a text alert would be helpful too (instead of just calls). The sound quality is amazing. The sound is loud and with different equalizer settings (including a customizable one) the sound has proven itself for my 4 sets of headphones (2 over head models and 2 ear bud models).
Now the nitty gritty:
Pros-
Good sound
Small size
Speakers very useful for sharing with friends
Dropped a few times, and is still functioning and not too many scratches
Radio is handy to have
Voice and radio recording
Text reading capabilities
Cons-
Software slows down my computer (but files can be dragged and dropped by Windows explorer)
Some mp3s are difficult or unable to transfer to the player
Battery life is short if you're not the playlist type
After long play time with the hold button on, the buttons become 'stuck' and I have to reboot.
Hot, Hot product!! [Posted on 2008-05-15]
first off, great price for this Mp3 player.
The S5 is the coolest Mp3 player out there. I am in love with it!
I also love the software the comes along with this player, really easy to upload dah music.
The speakers are so clear sounded and can reach a really high volume.
The touch screen is awesome, but very sensitive. So I would buy some protective shields for it when purchasing (You can get those at Walmart, cheap price).
The player over all is worth 10 stars in my point of view. Everyone is so jealous of it! I would drop an Ipod anytime for dis piece of fine work!
But there's more to this player!
Sooo so customizable. You can change pretty much everything to fit your s-s-style...
honestly you have to get the S5 because the T5 maybe the same thing, but the S5 has that cool, retro speaker design that is like friggin sweet man.
FAST SHIPPING TOO
it's alright [Posted on 2008-05-17]
i purchased this product mainly b/c i like to listen to sermons, and i wanted to find a way i could speed up the tempo. i'm not completely satisfied since i did so much homework looking into this product. the fact that it has a speaker is definitely a plus. however, the buttons are too sensitive (touchpad) so that it's difficult to navigate. also, the fact that it resets your volume settings to default everytime you turn off the device is very annoying. oh, and in case anyone is wondering, if you increase or decrease the tempo speed (up to x3), the pitch WILL change - this is a bummer, but I guess there's no way around it. the video also sucks b/c the screen is TOO small. it is a nifty recorder, however, if you need to record class lectures. I think the IPOD is more user friendly, and i would recommend apple instead.
Wouldn't load Library Audiobooks [Posted on 2008-06-05]
I bought the YP-S5J AB specifically to play audiobooks that can be downloaded from the local library. This model was on a list the library made of devices that worked with their files, so it does work for this purpose sometimes...just not for me. I spent about three hours trying it various ways, downloading firmware, and double-checking with the library to see if I missed anything (The books played on my computer fine, so it wasn't a problem with downloading from the library). I would get the error message "It is not possible to transfer this file. Contact device maker for firmware update." I then spent half an hour on the Samsung Technical Support Line. The only thing they could tell me was to go to website and download any firmware updates, which I had already done (twice) so I am returning it. I also didn't like the design of the device with regard to its actual usage (turning on, selecting music, etc.) Using the push screen felt akward and I had to press the "buttons" multiple times before it would take, although maybe this would improve as you used it longer.
Great Improvement over k5 [Posted on 2008-07-23]
this mp3 player has everything that you will basically use. over 4gigs of memory and you can listen to your music, view your pictures clearly, and watch your videos in almost-great quality. sooo many things to do with this mp3 player.
only problem that i have is that it's a little slow when you use the touch buttons.
