Samsung U5 MP3 Player 2 GB MP3 Player (Black)

I first bought a COBY-4 MP3 player because it was medium priced, small and slim, and had an FM stereo capability that I wanted to be able to listen to NPR while working out. The MP3 capability is fine (although the touch-pad controls sometimes require multiple finger pressing) but the FM radio reception is poor--regular static and cutting out. I did more research to see if I could fine a better quality and bought this Samsung U5. No comparison on the FM reception, the Samsung has absolutely clear reception in exactly the same location where I was getting lousy reception with the Coby. MP3 features work fine and navigation is easy. Small, slim size (half the width of the Coby) is great if you want something small that will slip into key pocket on your workout shorts.

ive used sony, iriver, apple, and now this samsung U5. This U5 is soooo light and easy to use i carry it anywhere and everywhere. where ever i go, i dont need a charger because of the built in USB and i dont need a cable, again, because of the built in USB. sometimes i charge it in my navigation usb port in my car. the button use is just intuitive, i dont even look when im changing songs. apple was ok but i had to check the button all the time and i had to have cables to charge.. the apple was expensive and the repair was a nightmare. thats why i decided to go for carefree, low cost, i dont care what happens to it kinda MP3 but still with great sound and easy to use... and light. so i bought this cause i love my samsung led tv and its quality.. and well this u5 has been absolutely great. been using it for the past 4 month and its the best ive used so far. and when you actually buy it, it feels just right in your hands.. its designed really well for a low end mp3. oh and the best part of it is i just drag files into the u5.. no software needed.. and when im traveling, i just plug it into my car usb port and it plays my music and take it out when i leave my car. when im jogging, its so light i cant feel it.. i can feel the wires more than the mp3. and the built is so far solid. so i say this is a solid mp3 that you will have no regrets about. i fully recommend it. oh and by the way, this doesnt feel like those cheap chinese junk.. its well made and feels sturdy while being super slim. thanx.

Always liked Samsung's small MP3 players. You don't plan to compete the "cool" look of Apple's ipods with these but I'm sure these small (and affordable) mp3 players are well worth their price, quality and portability. I had owned a similar (but of a different model) mp3 player from Samsung over three years ago and it finally broke in my mother's hand. But I'm not going to complain about that because I only paid for about $40 and it served me well all those years. Now, this is the second Samsung mp3 player I own and I'm expecting a good lifespan from it (already having a good experience with it).

I have had four MP3 players. This is a nice one, not perfect but quite good, especially considering the price.

I have been using this device for about six months. There are two things I do not like about it. One is that the controls are symmetrical, so I cannot operate the device by touch. When I want to do something I have to look at it. The second is that I have trouble wearing it around my neck. It has a clip designed for a shirt pocket, but nothing I can attach to a lanyard (other than the clip, which doesn't work too well).

There are many things I like about it. You can use the windows operating system to transfer files. This is not necessary, however, because there is some software which automatically loads from the device to the computer when you plug the device into the USB port. [But be careful of the upgrades. Twice I have upgraded the software in response to prompts, and twice the upgrade screwed up my system. I had to go back to reset points each time]). The screen layout of the device is clear and contains a great deal of information. The battery charge from the USB port lasts a long time. The file handling on the device is easy.

The thing I like the best is that when you fast-forward, the device speeds up the longer you hold the button down. I like to listen to long files, so this is a nice feature for me. I have not used the radio and voice recorder much, but when I have used them found them easy to use.

I recommend this device, but not the software that come with it.
