Good , Simple,functionable.. June 28, 2008
This is a good MP3 player , It is simple to use . It plugs right into my Laptop and I can click and sync music right away in Windows Media Player. The downside is the player when I am running or working out the sound cuts out because the connection to the headphones is a piece of crap.If you are buying an MP3 player for running or anything that is gonna be jostle the cord around very much don't buy this player.
 Excellent Choice June 28, 2008
I have had this mp3 player for a few weeks now and really love it. Like another
reviewer I use Ubuntu Linux; but for me this player works perfectly with the
Amarok software. As others have noted this device is not a flash drive, so if
that is what you want get something else.
Pluses:
Good sound. Very cheap! FM radio works great (I live in a city).
Plays ogg vorbis -- most of my music is in this format.
Built-in USB connector is great -- no batteries/charger no USB cable.
Did I mention CHEAP.
Minuses:
I wish it were 4Gb. I didn't like the earbuds it came with, but I
bought a pair I like.
Mixed:
It is quite small and light -- I like this; it fits in a shirt pocket;
other reviewers found this problematic.
It uses MTP rather than a VFAT file system (like flash devices). This
is why it can't be used as a flash drive with windows. It needs some
software to work like Amarok or RhythmBox under linux.
 Returned, very unhappy with it. June 13, 2008
This is what I think of this product.
Firstly, I thought that Samsung would be able to read Japanese since its HQ is base in S. Korea. I'm not confusing and culture here, it just that a lot of Japanese product are able to read Korean so I thought it would be vise versa.
Anyway, some thing other than the language support.
-The USB is weak and will likely break if something hit it.
-The button on it looks like a good ideas, but it really is not. There don't even glow too. No indication of which button do what at all, and will likely cause problem when you try to reach in your pocket to change song.
-The OS suck(I don't know how to describe it, I just hate it)
-Annoying light that keep beeping(For WHAT?)
-The belt clip and made from cheap plastic.
-WOn't even transfer files if with my laptop that run Vista.
The price is also quite high when you can get the creative 4gb version for a little more.
 nice unit June 9, 2008
I wanted a reasonably priced MP3 player and I got it with the Samsung YP-U3JQB. The only knock on it so far is that the touch controls are very sensitive so you must have good finger dexterity and patience in operating the MP3 player.
I would not risk my money on this!! May 19, 2008

I bought one of this in a Walmart store in Tampa a couple months ago.
It worked nicely at the beginning, but al of the sudden it just stopped working, thus representing a total waste of money.
Sorry about this poor opinion, Samsung, but that's the truth.
