 The Perfect Music Companion November 27, 2007
This is the perfect companion if you are a music lover and willing to share your music to the world. The only problem I had with this device was that the included headphones did not fit my ears too well, and may not produce a universal fit for everyone else.
This is a device that is designed to be played at high volumes in coffee houses, restaurants, entrance to clubs, and residential bedrooms.

When I first had this MP3 player in my hads I felt like when I was a little kid and I got a Transformer toy for Christmas I couldn't belive how cool it was. The Samsung YP-K5 has one of the most beautiful designs of MP3 players, it's very easy to use (unlike my old Ipod which took me ages to find the shuffle mode) and it has a science fiction gadget feel to it that other MP3 players lack. Just when you thought it couldn't be any better than this you slide it and Voila! you can take it anywhere and let everyone listen to what you are listening without the need of external speakers, the sound is pretty decent for it's size. ALso the player is super resistant (just watch youtube and see a video of a car rolling over it without harming it). All in all a player that deserves to be in the podium of MP3 players
 defect in construction October 4, 2007
We liked this mp3 player for its size and the option of using the speaker without the headphones. Unfortunately though, there was a problem with the construction. There was a loose screw holding the top mp3 section and the bottom speaker section together that could not be tightened. Due to this problem the product was wobbly and was falling apart. We ended up returning it for a refund.

Buy this K5 and you will be amazed how will the belt in speaker sounds and the FM radio works great.

I don't like to write reviews unless I have owned the electronic for a substancial amount of time. So here goes, I bought this mp3 back in January honestly, because it was the only one that Best Buy had in stock at the time. I liked the idea that it had built-in speakers because this meant that I could listen to music at work (an office).
The MP3 came with a cool set of headphones though I must admit that they a bit hard to get used to and they don't last very long (the rubber tip of the headphones fell off within the first month). It doesn't store a lot of songs (1,000 for the 4GB if you are lucky). So if you have tons of music, this is not the mp3 for you.
Samsung claims the playback of you are using the speakers is six hours... and I am sure that this info is incorrect. I use this MP3 on a daily basis (always only using 1 or 2 bars on the volume scale since I can't play music loud at work) and by the end of the 8 hour workday my battery is close to running out. The speakers are decent. They are not too loud, but you can't really expect much from a speaker this size. You can't play videos on this mp3... so once again, if you want vids on your mp3, this mp3 is not for you.
The software for this mp3 is a bit difficult to work and sucky but it gets the job done. What I dislike about this mp3 is that I am unable to customize playlists... I can create folders to organize the songs when they load on the software but otherwise it does not organize the music on the actual mp3 which can be frustrating. The music will load into the categories that the mp3 comes with... by either artist, album, tracks or genres.
The touch screen is the most appealing part of this mp3. Very modern and easy to work. I recommend buying a protective case for this mp3 to avoid scratching the screen. This mp3 also stores pictures but the picture quality is probably the worst that I have seen in an mp3 player. This mp3 also includes an alarm clock which is a cool feature but I don't use it.
Overall, this is a cool mp3 if your main use for an mp3 is music playing.
