"Great Sounding Samsung MP3 Player"

By Mendelson Tiu | Published:27/11/2008

The latest MP3 player from Samsung looks great, comes with a lot of features, and can play audio, video, picture, and text files without any problems. But if you have issues with touch-sensitive keys, then this player may not be your cup of tea.

The Samsung YP-Q1 is a candy-bar player that is 10.9mm thin. It has a 2.4-inch, 320x240-pixel display and seven touch sensitive keys (back, menu, up volume, down volume, left/right file browser buttons) up front, while the unit's power/hold switch is located on the right spine.

A proprietary port for USB connection, a headphone jack, and a lanyard loop are located at the unit's bottom.

The main screen consists of nine sub-menus: Music, Videos, Pictures, Texts, FM Radio, Datacasts (Transfers RSS to the unit), Prime Pack, File Browser, and Settings. The unit can play MP3, WMA WMV, SVI (MPEG4) JPG, BMP, PNG, GIF, TXT, and Ogg files, which can all be transferred using Windows Media Player or the included Emodio software.

The Emodio software is easy to use: all compatible files are displayed and are sub-divided into audio, video, photos, and recording. Users can arrange songs by Title, Artist, Track, Genre, Time, and Theme, which can then be transferred to the player with a click of the transfer button. Users can also see which files are already stored on the Q1 by clicking on the player icon and delete files instantly.
