"Perfect End to 6 Month Search" on by larryflowers
Pros: Terrific Sound
Cons: Headphones & Control Panel
Summary: The headphones that come with the unit sound terrific and for most users will probably be all they will ever need. I had a hard time keeping them in my ears. Ordered a set of Shure earbuds to cure problem. Read many complaints about control panel sensitivity and it is very sensitive, but after a day of use it was not a problem. Great Sound, perfect size and capacity, Instantly recognized by my PC and worked well with both Windows Media Player 10 and Rhapsody,
Updated
I was already pleased with this player, but the addition of Windows Media Player 11 and the new Urge music service were like the finest butter cream frosting added to an already delicious cake! -
"Gives the Nano a run..." on by phibian
Pros: large screen; battery life is very good
Cons: metal finish scratches easily; clumsy touch pad
Summary: The Samsung YP Z5 is a quite viable alternative to joining the Pod people. It has decent sound, a comparable feature set to the IN, and the battery life kicks a**. The feel of it (casing, buttons etc) makes it seem more robust than the IN. A few drawbacks: the screen, although larger than the IN, doesn’t have as high a resolution, making pictures look pixilated. It is also hard to read in daylight. The scroll square is finicky: large blunt fingers like mine have a hard time navigating the touch-sensitive parts. The finish, although metal, scratches easily. And most annoying to me: many albums of my music collection are DJ mixes, with no gaps between tracks. The player puts a “bump” between tracks, whether there or not. This is probably be a firmware issue, and fixable. Also I could have used a FM tuner, a feature standard on most flash-based players.

"Excellent setup & user friendly. Earphones only downfall." on by Lwestgard
Pros: Menus are easy to use and everything is easy to figure out.
Cons: Earphones do not stay in ears while running. Foam covers come off and are lost often.
Summary: Overall this is the best MP3 player I have had and my 5yr old can use the basic functions.
