Very nice player

by Skylark 2007-12-07, 8 people found this review helpful
A beautiful shiny gadget - how could I resist... It's actually more functional than I expected.

Bluetooth pairing with both Sony DR-BT50 and Lubix headphones was a breeze. This tech is obviously maturing to the point of usability.

It's probably a good idea to switch to the Matrix user interface, though; the sleek 3D menu turns out to be annoying with longer use.

Ogg Vorbis support has been steadily improving with firmware releases. I'm very pleased with Samsung's approach of refining a good product into a great one through upgrades.

For Linux users, you will want to change mode to UMS - at this point it's the best player I've seen with its Ogg Vorbis support and good quality audio.

What I'd like to see: keep up the good work on firmwares, and please don't remove the switchability between MTP and UMS just because you can. Both have their strengths.

Easier than IPOD and easy file transfers for video and music

by Debra Chong 2008-01-15, 34 people found this review helpful
I wanted a video player that was easy to use with UnBox and other video sites other than iTunes (I have owned a 3G 40G and own a 4G 30G video and 3G Nano 4GB). Here are my initial thoughts:
Fast charging via USB
Easy to use Samsung proprietary software for music, video and RSS feeds
Nice User Interface with Touch Screen, bright colors
File transfer from UnBox a breeze, recognized immediately, very fast file transfer vs. IPOD
Easy interface to add, update and load RSS feeds
Drag and drop computer files for music and video
Syncing is much easier than an IPOD, does not sync all of your files to obtain new files to load
Updated firmware was fast and easy (Bluetooth upgrade)
Great sound quality and form factor
Cost per MB more affordable than an IPOD
Love it so far after 1.5 hours of use; will update once I have it for a week or two.
WORTH considering, like the fact that it does not require quirky Windows Media Player
Purchased for $200, which was a bargain vs. the 4G IPOD Nano
Considered the Creative Vision and Archos; Archos was more than I needed as I just wanted to plug and play and take this on a plane. :)

Update 1/20/2007: The Unbox and Vongo video downloads work great. Vongo at $9.95 per month gives a variety of videos to download (14 day trial). Vongo does load any video that you choose from your subscription (total rental fee per month) vs. Unbox which only lets you download purchases --- no rentals for portable video devices.

I also purchased the JabraBT620s Bluetooth headset and it paired immediately. Wireless music and video. However, the P2 does not support bluetooth with FM radio. Price for the Jabra is around $38-40 from an Amazon seller, 1/2 the price vs. other websites. When on Bluetooth, you can not change the equalizer settings.

Wish this were 16GB which would hold enough music and video; Samsung is coming out with 16GB model. However, this is not a deal breaker. Just means that you have to take videos off and swap them, and that would be the case with Vongo as you can download new videos all of the time.

When I take a plane trip this coming week, I will come back and update my review. Will be using Bose Quiet Comfort 1 with this player.

The Best MP3 / PVP Available

by S. Allen 2008-03-27, 4 people found this review helpful
Before I purchased my YP-P2 I researched literally every model I could find. I even purchased a Zune 30GB but took it back to the store the next day (that's an entirely different review). Finally I ordered the Samsung and it has delivered on everything promised and more.

I'm out in the desert flying medevac helicopters so I needed something portable that I could use to watch movies on during my 24-hour alerts. Here are my thoughts on the YP-P2:

-Internet connections are not always reliable out here, so it was refreshing that I was able to use the YP-P2 right out of the box without having to be online. I just plugged it into my laptop and charged it up and it was ready to go.

-I've seen reviews about the difficulty transferring videos of different formats onto the player. When I was able to get online, I downloaded the newest software from Samsung and converting files is easy and efficient. It takes about 45 minutes to convert a movie, but that's the norm. I've set it up to reduce my 1Gb .avi files into 300 Mb .svi files for the YP-P2. The quality I get in both audio and video is still great. Unfortunately, the Samsung software is pretty useless for anything else since the interface is so archaic. I use Windows Media Player to transfer music to the player and it works great.

The screen and interface are absolutely gorgeous, especially with the newest firmware from Samsung. I work with a whole group of die-hard Ipod fans who were certain that I was going to regret not going with the Ipod Touch. That was until they saw the YP-P2. The audio quality is beautiful and the screen is perfect for viewing videos. The extra $100 I was able to pocket by not forking over $300 for an Ipod Touch (what does "no software upgrade" mean, anyway?) is just an added bonus.

Conclusion: If you want a great gadget to watch movies and listen to music on, this is definitely the one to go with.
