Samsung YP-U3 1 GB

It is a good MP3 it has a good screen and sound quality. I had one it worked for 3 years it still works and has only now started to fail on me.

The only things that i didn't like is that if a pause a song it will turn it self of in a couple on minutes.I would recomed this to any one who likes cheap but good quality basic item.

Thank you for reading!!

The mp3 used to work fine until I had my computer fixed which removed a lot of stuff. I have windows xp still and now it doesnt recognise it becuase of the driver problem. Ive looked on the samsung website but i cant find the driver and can seen to make it connect at all :(. Please help.

i have had this mp3 for about a year, up until now it has been fine, great sound quality, good value for money, compact light weight model. Ive had no trouble in connecting it my PC or any other PC.

However recently when i turn the player on it turns off straight away and the end goes blue,i have to wait several minutes before it will turn on, i can listen to a few songs then the same problem will occur. no one ive seen on here has had this problem so im not sure how to sort this out. strange how this happens just after the warranty runs out.

It says its compatible with vista, xp and other softwares... BUt has never worked on an XP computer!!! and not just mine, my friend brought one and hers didnt either!! she was smart enough to keep her reciept so she returned it but im stuck with a piece of crap i cant even put music on!!

Good Points of the samsung yp-u3:

Sound Quality

Battery

Easy Menus to navigate into the songs

Bad Points:

Is an MTP device, so not every computer recognizes it!

It doesn't play m4a files

The player is really good, it has a decent battery and a great sound quality if you put DNSE at Rock, but I have a problem with it: Almost all my songs are in m4a files, it doesn't read them, I bought it because it was the only "good" player on the store (Others were disposable players, like Titan or 'til Chung-Wan-like), and because it's the 1st "Touch"-model Media player in my town (Discarding iPods), but finally it's in my opinion really good!; Good job, Samsung! =)

The Samsung YP-U3 1 GB is excellent! My sister took it to legoland and lost it and Im going to buy another one but maybe different colour!

The Samsung YP-U3 1 GB is relible and good quality

do not buy this Samsung YP-U3 1 GB . it is a fantastic mp3 player while it works, but many many people seem to have had the same problem as me with samsung mp3 players in general. one day you will plug your mp3 player into your pc and it will not connect, the pc will recognise it and disconnect it immediately, probably with a message about an mtp driver it needs to install, which consequently it will not be able to find. when you do find it and download it (from the microsoft website) it still will not work. it seems that the player is incorrectly recognised as an mtp device, yet there are no drivers available for the yp-u3, and there appears to be no easy fix.

I Loved my U3 and got very attached to it. It has a decent battery life and looks really good with good sound quality... But, yeah... I do think there's something going on with it cos it just randomly stopped working a week after the 1 year warrenty ran out. and to prove it wasn't me that broke it my brothers broke a few days after mine...

First of all, the Samsung U3 is a good budget player. I bought this one for my sister, back at christmas and I truly must say, the U3 provides far more than I've expected.The overall sound quality is very good, which (I think can be referred to Samsung's technique called DNSE). Anyhow, the player, itself, is easy carry around and it provides everything neccessary to listen to music but unfortuneletly that's about it.Listening to music is one thing, but controlling your player to play the desired song another. I mean, I tried this device for about 3 days, but still coudln't find out where I had to hit the buttons in order to play the next or previous song.Furthermore I would have expected that the U3 would work like a n USB stick, but in order to so, I had to install a special firmware (the Korean one) to make the U3 "USB drive functional", which is I think a pity, especially for those ones who are not really familar with computers.Anyways my conclusion for this player is: Are you interested in a good player, which is not really expensive but offers you enough functions to listen to good music? If so, you'd take a look at the U3. For people who do not require a MP3-player to be a multi-functional, the U3 should be just the perfect device.Else, for the rest, I'd recommend you to go for another device, which resp. can be more expensive.
