I got my 64Mb Yepp player over six months ago now. At first i was thrilled by the huge range of songs, the nifty looks and quality of this litte beauty. However some long term issues have arisen during my use of the Yepp.

Don't get me wrong, i think this is probably the best piece of electronic equipment i have bought, but....

1. The Casing - Whilst i admit it looks pretty cool, i found the metallic front was too easily scratched. The back was made of painted plastic - which didn't feel as nice (call me vain if you want!). The navigation button rattles too - irrelevant but a bit annoying! The silver paint and writing on the unit is just beginning to fade, but i know what all the buttons do by now so its not too much of a problem! The front and back of the unit have begun to come apart at on corner which again doesn't matter, but is still not too good.

2. The connection - i have found it difficult to make the computer recognise that the player is attached - i don't know if this is the unit or the software but it is really annoying! Especially when it is in the middle of a download! There doesn't seem to be any solution for this problem either, just patience.

3. The functioning of the unit - The only possible complaint about this is that the display is too slow - both in moving from song title to song title and scrolling the names of songs. This can be a bit frustrating!

Don't get me wrong, i definitely give this a thumbs up - just don't expect it to last you for years and years. It will be outdated in a couple anyway so i recommend it in the meantime!
