Great for audiobooks and traveling
|
I researched MP3's for several weeks after having a bad experience with the Creative Zen V Plus. My primary interest in an MP3 is to listen to audiobooks, downloaded from my local library for free, while traveling. I wanted it to be easy to use and to have good bookmarking features. I narrowed my list to those recommended on the library's link to Overdrive, the service they use for books.
I got what I wanted and more with this great little unit. First, it looks cool (though I wish the shiny surface didn't get so marked up with fingerprints). Books are easy to download. I like the feature that allows you to shut off the player and return to where you left off in a book or song when you turn it back on. Bookmarking is easy as long as you remember what track you were on (if you want to listen to music after you listen to a book). It's easy to fast-forward or reverse.
It took a few minutes to get used to using a light touch on the touchscreen, but now I love it.
The battery lasted almost as long as my flight to Japan, and it recharges quickly. I do recommend getting a plug-in charger for travel if you aren't taking your computer.
It's great to be able to set the FM radio to various countries--I recorded songs from the Japanese radio stations to play as background for my slides--way cool! Fun to wake up to J-pop (Japanese popular music) while I was there (using the alarm feature).
Haven't used the bluetooth feature yet, and the screen is too small to enjoy videos. Seems like there is room so they could have made the screen larger.
Music quality is great, and it's fun to have the speakers. The earphones did take a little getting used to because of their shape, but they deliver wonderful quality sound.
Since I'm not very intuitive with products like this, I really appreciate the very thorough manual that comes with this, though you have to download it and print it yourself.
I recommend checking the various message boards on Amazon to get a variety of opinions before you purchase an MP3. I found them very helpful. I also recommend going to the company's website and taking a look at the manual to answer questions before purchase. In this case, it's samsung.com.
The only complaint I have is that it doesn't come with a case and it's an odd size. I found a cool case in Japan.
All in all, I'm delighted with the size and features of this MP3 player and hope it lasts a long time. |
