Well I have had no experience with samsung but it seems like it would be a good player. However I have had a creative muvo and it was an awesome player. It is small like what you are looking for. Also you may check at walmart. The creative muvo tx fm is like $60 there. I have that player and it is awesome. I also have a creative micro 5 gb and how I fill it up is that I listen to a couple of different genres and some days I feel like listening to different stuff. I mean the flash players around 512 and 128mb are good for portability but storage is the issue. Good choice on not getting the NANO they are extremely cheaply made. I would never buy one..... Good Luck finding a player
If you are impatient, skip the next paragraph if necessary.
I have a PSP, and have lost interest in video games. I could go into detail why, but you don't want to hear my ramblings. Now all I have it for is movies and music. I listen to music with it the most, but it is quite big for an MP3 player. I have thought this over for some time, and I have decided to buy an MP3 player. Now, when you think MP3 player, what is the first thing that pops into your mind? Yea, that's right, Ipod. Now Ipods are cool and everything, but I'm not the kind of person who buys a product because it is a trend. In fact, everyone in my school has an Ipod, and I would rather be different. Now, the biggest beef I had with the PSP was that it is pretty big, and it really gets uncomfortable when you are sitting down. Another thing I didn't like was that it was so fragile, and you needed a case (which adds size) to protect your investment.
So I started thinking: What kind of MP3 player do I need? My first choice was the Nano, not because of the Ipod name attached to it, but because it is so thin and small. When I saw the price tag however, I was immediately turned off.
After some digging, I found the seemingly perfect MP3 player: Samsung YEPP YP-MT6X (512MB). I found this for $68 refurbished. Does anyone have any personal experience with this player to recommend (spelling?) it? Or should I look into another player, like the Creative Muvo ones (which there are about 100 of, so I kind of gave up looking for the right one)? One last thing. Capacity doesn't really matter. I don't need a 20 GB player to just fill up like 5% of the space with. I still can't believe that someone can like so much music. Sure, they can cram like 30 GBs of songs on their Ipod, but how much of those songs do they actually like? Well, that's just me. 512 MB is enough, 1 GB is the best.
So, Samsung YEPP YP-MT6X (512MB), or something else? Thanks for reading my rant/I need help post, and thanks in advance for responding.
