Samsung YH-J70

While Apple went out for minimal features in order to keep its iPods looking zen (no offence, Creative), Samsung, like most Korean companies, prefers to play it by the numbers (of features).

Outlook For someone looking for an all-in-one MP3 player, the YH-J70 stands out for its feature range.

Fully loaded Samsung

With more features than a dozen iPods can shake an earphone at, the YH-J70 sure is packing in the heat for Samsung's latest salvo in the MP3 wars. We check out whether rockets and bullets are enough to overcome the Click Wheel shield.

Samsung YH-J70

I got this mp3 player as a gift a couple years ago, and I honestly wished they weren't so nice. It's a pain in the a** using the software to rip CDs and add them onto the player, as you have to edit the information considerably to have the songs...

Nice colors, includes tetris in the games folder, and the radio was pretty good

Crashes ALL THE TIME for no reason, and it takes several minutes to boot it back up, freezes constantly, runs very slow (and I barely used a 5th of the 30GB availability), and the navigation buttons freeze a lot. All around a pain in the a
