Digital Audio Player with Built-In USB
The easy to use U3 works right out of the box with no need for cables, cords or docks and no need to install any programs. Simply slide a button and a slim USB connector will pop out. You may then plug it into any PC USB port and drag and drop your music files. While connected, the battery is charged, allowing up to 15 hours of playtime on a single charge. The U3 plays MP3, WMA, and WMA-DRM10 formats. The 4-line OLED display shows ID3 tag information such as Artist and Song, and combined with the quick touch navigation means you can serve up the song you want quickly.

FM Radio and Voice Recording
The U3 features an FM radio, utilizing the headphones as antenna. You can also record your own voice, speeches, lectures, and other outside sounds with your mp3 player, and can even adjust the quality of the recording by selecting a different bit rate.

Convenient File Transfer
The U3 also functions as a flash drive. You can use it to transfer files from one computer or USB device to another. With a 2GB capacity, the U3 has plenty of room to store your music while still accommodating all of your file transfer needs.

Customizable Hot Key
The U3 boasts a customizable shortcut key. Choose from one of the following:

  • Repeat A-B: Sets section repeat.
  • DNSe: Allows you to select an appropriate sound effect for music.
  • Play Speed: Adjusts the playback speed between fast and slow.
  • Play Mode: Selects the repeat playback mode.

DNSe Sound Engine
SAMSUNG's proprietary DNSe is a revolutionary sound technology, providing rich, more natural effects and a true-to-life surround sound experience. Even headphone users can experience simulated surround effects.

Samsung Media Studio
The included Samsung Media Studio is the easy-to-use software application that helps you organize your files on your PC. With your files already sorted and organized in Media Studio, you can quickly transfer them to your mp3 without searching your entire hard drive for the right file. This software is not required--users may choose to use different software (such as Windows Media Player) or simply drag and drop files to the device.

What's in the Box?
YP-U3JQB, earphones, cable winder, clip, and installation CD.

♥♥♥♥ minimalist and a good value
My experience with this has been mostly positive. For everything that really matters to me (i.e. sound quality, navigating) it has surpassed my expectations for a sub-hundred-dollar MP3 player in a streamlined and intuitive package. I also like the "no-cord" approach, so that the USB port doubles to transfer files and charge the battery. The FM radio and voice recorder features are nice.

I was a bit worried about the wiggly USB port that projects out, switchblade style, but I've seen several videos where over 20 pounds were hung from it before it broke. Time will tell but it seems sturdy enough for now. It comes with a cd but I haven't even taken it out of the package -- WMP and even drag-and-drop worked immediately for me (with XP).

However, the "skin-and-bones" approach does seem to leave some gaps: there is a nice FM tuner and a nice voice recorder but no FM recording feature; some of the user settings (like skip interval) do not persist after the device is restarted; it cannot be used as a USB drive. Also, the touch-activated buttons can be difficult to operate since you can't identify them by touch and they are fairly close together (this doesn't bother me much, but I have a feeling my dad's big fingers would find it awkward).

All in all, I am finding it to be a very nice, good value, stripped-down MP3 player. However, I strongly recommend playing with it a bit before you buy it, to see if you like it.
