is this thing any good? actually its 34.99 with $5 off coupon.

 

[bretta]

thanks! I snagged one. $39.99 - $5 coupon + free shipping + no tax = $34.99 which is a good deal.

does anyone know, can you just copy mp3 files directly into any smartmedia card and drop it into this Yepp and it will play?? or does it have some lame DRM crap built in that requires you to load files using their software. i hate that crap.

Got one with the $5 off coupon, thanks! I have the original RIO Volt cd mp3 player and though it is nice, it's not the greatest for running or when you need a small mp3 device. I wasn't going to spend $100 plus on one, so this is really a great deal for me, especially since I already have a few 64 mb SM cards from my digital camera.

I hope so because I don't intend on hooking mine up to my computer. I plan to just drag and drop mp3's into my SM card reader and then just pop the card into my player. If it doesn't work this way, I need to cancel my order, so if anyone knows for sure, let me us (me) know.

Does anyone know if this player will accept 128MB Smart Media cards (by default or through firmware update)? I believe the specs are all outdated, and the highest density SM card was 64MB at the time the product was released.

Thanks,
Diesel

Where can I get the $5 code? I checked chubbywallet and jumpondeals, but couldn't find it.

 

[dp004i]

Never mind, found it. Now, this thing better support 128 meg SM cards...

 

[kimagurealex]

by the way, someone left a review in the amazon point out this MP3 player accept 96khz not 128khz quality. That's why it takes so long to transfer mp3 to this unit(convert and transfer). However, I am not sure how true it is.

I am also thinking to transfer all the mp3 files to the reader and then just snap the card right in the mp3 player.

Now that's funny, the confirmation email doesn't show the $5 off coupon, even though it worked on the checkout page.

according to a review on Amazon...

I recommend buying one or two 64 mb smartmedia cards. Why two? That way you can carry an extra hour (or two) of music on the extra card for longer jaunts. DO NOT TRY TO USE A 128 MB SMARTMEDIA CARD WITH THIS PLAYER; IT ONLY READS CARDS UP TO 64 MB. That little factoid should have been better advertised, as I ended up having to return the 128 mb card that I bought when I bought the player.

so no 128meg SM cards, just 64meg

here i go answering my own question... gee these amazon reviewers cover all the bases, though i've had to read half of the 60+ to find my answers... would be nice if Amazon had this product info included in the detailed description...

The file transfer program is slow. I use the Yepp Explorer from SamsungYepp.com and it takes long time to transfer files. My fix is that I get a ... Dazzle media reader and it work like a charm. A 20 MB batches of MP3 files took less than 1 minutes now to get into my SmartMedia. (however, make sure you use the player to format the SM media before use. If you use the Dazzle reader to format it, the MP3 player have problem reading it.) The Media reader also double as a quick removable drive for me... 32 or 64 MB data on a tiny little plastic, nice!

so it looks like you CAN use an external SM reader provided you use the player to format the card first.

 

[quirky]

would an exgternal smart media reader transfer mp3s quicker?

 

[WiseOne]

yaa it should

 

[quirky]

whats the mb/s rate?

 

[Salvador]

Yes, plus you don't have to worry about synching your pc with this player. Even if this player connects via a USB hub, I find that a USB SM card reader can still outperform digital cameras that have built in USB support. My guess is that it's the same for mp3 devices.

by the way, someone left a review in the amazon point out this MP3 player accept 96khz not 128khz quality

Really? I hope that this isn't the case. I find that 128 is the best compromise between compression and quality. 96 sort of sucks if you ask me. Does anyone have a confirmation on this?

[watchmen77]

can anyone tell me what is that 5 dollar off coupon?
i can't find it anywhere. please pm me.

 

[LakerGod]

This seems like a good deal. I have a feeling I need to get on this.

 

[LakerGod]

I can't find the coupon. Can somebody please send it to me.

 

[Salvador]

I was about to, but you don't have your private messages enabled in your profile.

Check F@twallet's forums. Run a search on Amazon or Amazon coupon and you will find what you need.

sweetness! Thanks I needed one and for 35 bucks... that will work great!

 

[QueHuong]

Here's what the review on Amazon said:

The software also has cd ripping ability, but the sound quality is only at 96 kbps, not the greatest.

So for those worried that the player can only play 96kbs, I think it's only a software limitation. Use your own ripper (ex. CDEx), encoder (LAME/RazorLAME), and then the Samsung Explorer to transfer the files. Skip the software.

Some sites claim this player have voice recording...can anyone vouch for it? This would be very valuable for me since I can use it in college for lectures.

BTW, I also can't find the $5 coupon, help?




N/M Found it on FW doing a search for "Samsung" and reading the thread of the same deal.

SECOND NOTE: Why is the full word for "FW" forbidden?

 

[Mercenary]

Now I need a good deal on AAA rechargables!

 

[jskap]

Sweet deal, just placed an order with the 64mb card. But it looks like the deal is dead now; the price went up to 49.99, which still looks ok after the $5 coupon.
