The Hershey's Kiss of MP3 Players ?

Not a bad choice.

Stylish, good sound quality, excellent battery life, solid construction.

Some parts feel amateurish, proprietary cable for Line-In recording, poor recording quality.

Very Good

I bought a 1gb version for my daughter and I must say I love this model, battery lasts forever! I own a 512mb creative and I must say I like this Samsung model much better, has better sounding playback of music to me. Controls are easy to use and...

Very Long Battery Life ; Nice LED Screen ; Progress bar for song ; EQ presets are good ; Better than Creative

Menu confusing at first, ok after I read the manual ; Price ; Earbuds from factory are just adequate

Great MP3 player for a reasonable price

Back in my college days, I had a JVC tape player that ran on a single AA battery. I was lucky to get two tapes worth of music out of one NiCd battery. The darn thing ate 'em like gummy bears. (Or did I eat gummy bears like it ate batteries?) Well,...
