Samsung YP-Z5QS 2 GB

Advantages: downloading easy, holds lots of songs, small
Disadvantages: none

This is a cool looking MP3 player to have or even to buy for your kids for a gift. I had purchased me one a few months ago and it is very nice to have around. I wanted it for walking working outside, and to take to college to listen to when I was in the library doing my studying. You can put lots of music onto it and listen. It does hold lots of songs and does not take long to download at all. It is very easy to use. So easy that I have even let ... Read review

Advantages Affordable, reliable, easy to use and transfer songs to
Disadvantages memory may not be big enough for all people, pictures are slow

...Having had this MP3 player now for nearly 2 years, I have not had any problems with it. It is very reliable, never crashes, freezes etc on me, is really easy to put music on, and is at a very reasonable price, even the 4GB is very affordable and very durable, I have dropped mine countless times without any problems. Something you may not think of is that the screen is very clear and easy to use in all lights(brightness of screen can also be altered) and does not scratch easily. I would recommend this to people who have a large music library, but are often able to change the music on the MP3 player due to the 2GB only holding around 500 songs, and the 4GB holding around 1000 songs.

Advantages Small and stylish, cool album art, sounds great, superb battery life
Disadvantages No mains charger means you need to be near a PC to charge it

It cost me just £100 on Amazon which as you can see is already cheaper than its rivals. I chose the black version. When I opened it the first thing I noticed was the size of the box, and the unit itself, which was tiny! It's not as thin as the Ipod Nano boasts but it is the same height and width. It is also very light, yet feels solid as it is made partly of aluminum and not just plastic. It is also scratch resistant which is definetly true, as I've carried it in my bag amongst keys and theres not a mark on it. I couldn't wait to get it up and running. There was no soaftware to install as I just plugged and played. I just opened the My... Read review

Advantages EASY TO USE AND GREAT VALUE FOR MONEY
Disadvantages INSTALLATION DISC FOR PC NOT EASY TO USE

...I bought my sampung yp z5q in the states when mp3 players were at the height of popularity. unsure of how often i was going to use the mp3 player, i decided to buy the samsung ypz5q rather than the over rated apple ipods. my main reason was the cost. however, this mp3 player has all you need for listening to music. it has great sound quality and the navigation is so easy. For those who dont want to fork out Apple prices, i highly recommend this Mp3 player.The only bad thing i have to say about it, is that its not as slim line as the ipod and the installation disc to put on the pc is not foolproof.However, once its on the pc, its easy to use....
