Advantages: 64mb memory, upgradable, voice recording

Disadvantages: none

For my birthday last year i wanted to get somthing that i can listen to my music on. I dont really buy cds or cassettes, i normally download music from the internet. So i decided i want a MP3 player. Looking around various Electronic shops including dixons, currys and HMV all the mp3 players they had were all around £250-300. This for me was too dear. One day i decided to look in a shop just around the corner from me to see if they had any mp3 players. There i saw a Samsung Yepp 64mb Mp3 Player, for only £190. So i decided to buy it, i was very pleased with my purchase and have still got it to this day.

Appearance
- - - - - - - - - -
The Yepp mp3 player, is a small lovely looking thing. Its silver, it has a LCD screen on the front and also has a big round button which controls Play, Rewind, Fastforward, Stop and Pause. It also has 3 buttons above, Voice record, Erase tracks and mode select (from voice to mp3 player). On the side of the Mp3 player, it has volume control, Repeat, Equalizer and the hold switch. On the back it has a clip so you can clip it onto your belt and carry it around easily. The headphone jack is on the top and is easy to find. The batteries go into the side of the mp3 player, it has a slot where you clip off and fit two AAA batteries into it.


Software

With the mp3 player, you get Yepp Explorer software and real jukebox so you can encode your music into smaller files so that you can fit more mp3 files onto your mp3 player. The yepp explorer software is what you use so that you can connect your mp3 player to your computer and then transfer the mp3 files onto it. Once installed you will open your Yepp explorer software and plug your mp3 player into the USB or LPT1 port (depending on which one you get).
Then you will choose which file and then it will download to your mp3 player.

Memory
- - - - - - -
The Yepp MP3 player has a built in 64mb memory card. This can hold up to around 18 songs at 3 minutes each at normally quality. It has a memory expansion slot so that you can put another 64mb card and upgrade it to 128mb memory. This is so you can hold more songs on. As time goes on, bigger capicity memory cards are being made available so you can fit more and more songs on one card, i think the biggest nowadays is a 128mb smart media flash card available from electronics stores priced around £70.

Batteries
- - - - - - - -
The yepp needs 2 AAA batteries to run. The battery time will vary depending on the volume you have it on. The higher the volume the less you will get out of the battery. If you have it on a low volume setting it will last around 8 hours, if not it will last around 2-3 hours. I suggest you get a few sets of batteries and then get a battery charger, that way while your using two another two will be ready to use by the time the others have run out.

Equalizer
- - - - - - - -
The equalizer is a special setting which changes the sound of the mp3 file that you are playing, they feature:

Jazz or Jazz 3D - Balance suitable for Jazz Music
Rock or Rock3D - Balance suitable for Rock Music
Classic or Classic 3D - Balance suitable for Classic Music

Phone Directory
- - - - - - - - - - - -
The phone book is there for you to store phone numbers in your yepp mp3 player just so that you can view them anytime, if you dont have anything to write the number down on you can write it in your mp3 player and then you can send it to your computer afterwards. You use the Mp3 player software to do this.

Headphones and Voice Recording
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
The headphones are small in-ear headphones. They are very handy and small as they fit into yo
ur pocket easily and also fit right inside your ear so you get the most out of the sound. They are clearly labelled left and right so you know which ears they can go in, like most headphones the lead always gets tangled because you put the headphones in the wrong ear. Voice recording is easy, you choose the option and then speak into the headphones, as they act as a microphone. The file will then be stored onto your mp3 player ready for you to upload to your computer and then play as a WAV file.

Conclusion
- - - - - - - - -
If you want a cheap and reliable mp3 player well then i recommend this. I like this a lot as its small and it fits just the right amount of songs, i always listen to this even though i have speakers on my computer but i can carry this around. You can add memory to it so you can listen to more songs. One of my best buys.
