 Great for audiobooks and traveling Feb 22, 2008
By Mary B. Dickson
"Mary D"
I researched MP3's for several weeks after having a bad experience with the Creative Zen V Plus. My primary interest in an MP3 is to listen to audiobooks, downloaded from my local library for free, while traveling. I wanted it to be easy to use and to have good bookmarking features. I narrowed my list to those recommended on the library's link to Overdrive, the service they use for books.
I got what I wanted and more with this great little unit. First, it looks cool (though I wish the shiny surface didn't get so marked up with fingerprints). Books are easy to download. I like the feature that allows you to shut off the player and return to where you left off in a book or song when you turn it back on. Bookmarking is easy as long as you remember what track you were on (if you want to listen to music after you listen to a book). It's easy to fast-forward or reverse.
It took a few minutes to get used to using a light touch on the touchscreen, but now I love it.
The battery lasted almost as long as my flight to Japan, and it recharges quickly. I do recommend getting a plug-in charger for travel if you aren't taking your computer.
It's great to be able to set the FM radio to various countries--I recorded songs from the Japanese radio stations to play as background for my slides--way cool! Fun to wake up to J-pop (Japanese popular music) while I was there (using the alarm feature).
Haven't used the bluetooth feature yet, and the screen is too small to enjoy videos. Seems like there is room so they could have made the screen larger.
Music quality is great, and it's fun to have the speakers. The earphones did take a little getting used to because of their shape, but they deliver wonderful quality sound.
Since I'm not very intuitive with products like this, I really appreciate the very thorough manual that comes with this, though you have to download it and print it yourself.
I recommend checking the various message boards on Amazon to get a variety of opinions before you purchase an MP3. I found them very helpful. I also recommend going to the company's website and taking a look at the manual to answer questions before purchase. In this case, it's samsung.com.
The only complaint I have is that it doesn't come with a case and it's an odd size. I found a cool case in Japan.
All in all, I'm delighted with the size and features of this MP3 player and hope it lasts a long time.

The most versatile mp3 player ever!! Jan 07, 2008
By guitarrez
"guitarrez"
This mp3 player is loaded with features!! The interface is intuitive and responsive and the display is crisp and clear, albeit a bit small. This slim player fits easily into your pocket or the palm of your hand. The FM recording recording function is a big plus for me. Other cool features are a sleep timer and, get this, an alarm!! You can wake up to your favorite song every morning. However the thing that really sets this player apart from all the others is the SPEAKERS!! The speakers are attached and slide out from behind the unit. This makes it easy to share your music with friends or to listen when earphones aren't convenient. These speakers are surprisingly clear and loud for their size. Blue Tooth is an added bonus, so you can use blue tooth enabled head phones or external speakers. Oh, did I mention it also plays mp3 and wma's?? All of this bundled into a cool, light weight, smart package!! Good job Samsung!!

iPOD's beware Jan 27, 2008
By Susan Chase
"MP3 MOM"
My daughter wanted a new MP3 for Christmas, but as she had one that still worked, we told her she needed to save her Christmas money and buy her own. She did all the research on several different sites and chose the samsung YP-S5JAB over everything else in that price range (under $200.). She loves the new MP3. Wanted it to come before school vacation was over so she could have time to load all her music, but it took less than 3 hours to have the 2GB of music she had stored on the computer all loaded and named. She loves the built in speaker feature, and although she's tried all sorts of earphones, she likes the way these fit and how they feel. I would give this MP3 a 5 star rating, and would tell anyone looking for an MP3 in that price range to look no further.

First mp3 player, pretty good May 02, 2008
By Luna 1985
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.

really awsome mp3 Feb 23, 2008
By hurdalator
This is my second mp3 player my first one was a creative wav (2gig) but this one is much better. I dont know where to start at because there is so many things it does. The bluetooth is slow with large files such as songs and video, but it does work. Has built in games and customizable menu. Great sound and includes 7 band eq. The touch screen is some what sensitive but cool. In my opinion this mp3 player is better than any other mp3 player on the market including ipod and zune. The price seems high but well worth it
