Portable MP3 players have been around for a little over a decade, and they
are so ubiquitous today that it's difficult to find anyone, young or old, who
doesn't own at least one. Preceded decades ago by the likes of the Sony Walkman
cassette players, the digital media player has become a hugely important niche
in consumer electronics. The highly successful iPod, first released in 2001,
was probably the most important milestone for Apple in the past decade, signifying
its entrance into consumer electronics and triggering a major increase in brand
value and profitability. The iPod line dominates this market, but the number
of choices is staggering; almost every consumer electronics brand and many computer
brands offer media players in various price and feature configurations.

Giant corporation Samsung is one of the many Korean companies in the market, with several lines
of media players models on offer. The S3 is not the smallest, but probably the
smallest one that features video playback capability with a 1.8″ 176 x
220 LCD screen. It's not dissimilar in size and shape to an Apple
iPod Nano, which is also similar in features, but with a 2″ higher resolution
320 x 240 display. The market
price of the Nano is some $30~60 higher, which helps give the YP-S3
a competitive edge.

The S3 is similar to an earlier Samsung model, the YP-K3. It has a touch sensitive 7-button navigation menu, with a display that changes in response to the menu commands. The top menu choices are Music, Videos, Pictures, FM radio, Datacasts, Prime Pack, File browser, and Settings. Like other MP3 players, you drill down into the menu to find specific titles or files. Datacasts accesses podcasts and audiobooks and the Prime Pack section has games, a clock, alarms, and explanations of player functions. Settings allows you to change the menu style, set the audio EQ, and adjust the display sleep timer and screen saver, and other options. The menu system does not match the intuitive standard-setting wheel menu of the iPods, but it is easy enough to use after a short period of acclimatization. There is sometimes an annoying delay in response after a button press, perhaps a half-second or so, which can slow navigation. The menu controls can be easily locked down to avoid unneccessary interruptions, useful given the nature of any touch sensitive control pad.

The music files on the player can be accessed by artist, album, song, genre, playlists, recorded files (from FM radio), or music browser (all files listed alpha-numerically). There are shuffle and linear play modes as well. Supported media files are MP3, WMA (including Lossless) and OGG — not vast, but good enough considering the many audio file conversion utilities that abound. Naturally, iPod-specific audio files are not supported. The sound quality through the supplied earbuds is decent with enough clarity and bass to be listenable, but it improves tremendously through better headsets we had on hand, like Shure SE-210 earphones, Bose QuietComfort 3 or Grado SR60i headphones. With the better headphones, the sound quality is very good, on par with any iPod, and EQ can be tweaked to suit your personal taste.

Samsung Yp U2j Digital Audio Player Software

The still photo viewer worked as well as could be expected on a 1.8″ LCD screen, as did the video function. The video files have to be uploaded via the Samsung Emodio software after conversion to SVI format. It's difficult to imagine many users watching anything except short clips on this tiny screen, no manner how nice it looks, but judging by the absorption of some gadget-tethered commuters on big city subways and buses, there are always exceptions.

The Emodio software manages media files on the supporting computer and synchronizes it with the YP-S3. It also makes firmware updates to the player, a process achieved by downloading the update file from Samsung, then uploading it to the root directory of the player, which is updated when unplugged from the PC and powered up.

The FM radio is easy to operate, with multiple tuning options, including presets. Recording FM is also simple, and the recording quality can be set by the level of compression. Overall FM sound quality is very good, dependent much more on the stations and source material than the player, though reception quality can vary when you're moving about, as with any radio.

Playback time with a full charge battery is specified as 50 hrs on music and 8 hours on vide, but these numbers seem exaggerated. No formal tests were conducted, but it's doubtful that more than half the music playback time was achieved during several weeks of trial usage.

In conclusion, the Samsung YP-S3 is a slick and functional media player that offers good performance and lots of useful features for a hundred bucks. It's not the epitome of user friendliness, nor the most versatile (limited file type support, no live audio recorder function), but for the casual use this product is likely to see, it's an attractive, price-competitive balance.
