"I own the player and it is overall a great intuitive idea. However, It could be a bit more developed"
Pros: Great design and UI, speakers perform well for the size, interface is very easy to use, no software required for use (Windows XP is required)
Cons: headphones required for radio use, only a few equalizer (sound effects) settings, very limited options, menus get old after the first few hours, no album art, no case provided
Summary: I saw the Samsung YP-K5 in a retail store along with many others. This one immediately came to my attention with its flashy menu and brightly lit blue touch sensitive buttons. After bringing it home I would use the speakers constantly and still do. You should note however, that when using the FM Radio headphones are required to receive a signal. Also, the volume is reset to a mid level when opening the speakers usually requiring you to adjust it. After a while i felt the need to customize. This came to be a problem since there is not much to change. You can't change the colors, increase the scroll rate, view time remaining, change the theme, set radio to alarm, and much more you would expect for something at this price. Overall it is a great MP3 player with intuitive ideas, it just needs some fine tuning and a bit more time invested in its development.

Samsung is constantly upgrading the firmware on all of its Yepp Players... all you need to do is update your firmware and many of the problems you are facing will be solved.
