 Terrible. Not impressed.Jun 04, 2009
I am typically a huge fan of Samsung, but this device is a huge disappointment. The command buttons are an incredible pain in the....it seems you have to toggle between actual buttons and an inner touch pad, that also feels like a button but doesn't require a hard press. If you don't hit the touch pad just right, it moves you all around the menu. The buttons are also not very intuitive - what would be standard on most mp3 players doesn't seem to apply to this device. The aesthetics are palatable - nothing very contemporary looking. The screen graphics/font are not that clear. The sound is okay. I really despise the buttons.
 Pretty good for the priceMar 17, 2008
I've had this mp3 player since about September of 2006. It's easy to use and very lightweight and small which makes it perfect to use when jogging. The biggest problem is the buttons are very sensitive and I began having problems moving up the menu about six months after I bought it. Now all the buttons are on the fritz. Sometimes they work sometimes they don't. I don't think I did anything major to get them to stop working other than heavy use. As far as battery life, it seems fine to me. It's still on it's original battery and if I charge it for four or five hours I can still get several hours of play from it. And of course you can use it with any of the music services unlike some of the other big name products where you have to go exclusive to their service.

 Review after 2 days --- good so farMar 26, 2007
Hi,
This thing works fine with Windows Media Player 11. (most of the reviews below call out Windows Media Player 10 ).
I moved some ripped files over and album art moved over automatically. When the song plays the album cover appear. Very nice.
Manual is unreadable. Litteraly. The install disk detected Windows Media Player 11 instead of 10 and aborted. I needed to get into the install disk directory to find a WORD 9 player then naviagte to the manual before I could read how the controls worked. Good thing no drivers needed -- media player recognized the device, downloaded something, then played just fine.
I still haven't found out how to move photos over for the screenshow. Looks like a nive feature though. The screen is very nice. BIG for tired eyes.
Sound quality is excellent through high end headphones. I haven't tried the ear buds yet.

 failed to work out of the boxDec 16, 2006
Did my research and read many good reviews. Had good experience with Samsung products before and decided to buy this one. It is probably a good MP3 player in principle, but I never had a chance to enjoy it - its touchpad controls were so miscallibrated that I couldn't even play a song or enter any of the menus. Called up Samsung support and found out that there's no way to re-calibrate the controls, and the player had to be replaced. Decided to return it, as I no longer had any confidence in the product. But it looks cool. Will get a SANDISK Sansa now.

Disappointed Dec 01, 2006
Update as of April 14, 2007. I recently bought Zune and Zune just like IPod does act as a hardrive (You have to use through proprietary software). Since Samsung does, I would change the two stars to three stars. The screen in Zune is nice but there are no movies in the Zune Marketplace which seem like a waste. Overall, if this little player could do video and had better navigation buttons I would give it five stars.
Original review:
This is my second Samsung (I had two ipods before Samsung). I loved the the first Samsung. Why did they have to change good things about it such as the software or navigation controls? The nice screen is a waste since you can't use it for video. The controls for scrolling up and down are frustrating since you have to press them very lightly. The only reason why I am not giving it one star is that the external design is beatiful.
