 VERY disappointing- service and customer care are inept December 10, 2008
Bill W (Miami)
I bought this product last January and found it easy to use but the scroll-pad failed soon after purchase. I returned it at my own expense, it was repaired and worked for a few weeks, then failed again. I returned it again, the second time it came back it fell apart because the tech hadn't screwed down the cover. I returned it again and the last time it failed the first day I used it. I spent several hours on hold over a bunch of calls to their support and executive customer care dep'ts, have been promised that the problem would be resolved and am still waiting for that to happen. Maybe I got a lemon, but my experience with Samsung's support dep't has been so obnoxious that I wouldn't buy another one of their products or recommend them to anyone.
I say this after being very happy with other products.
Yes, it works, but.............. February 14, 2007

the Audio Player works well - does its job as designed, we imagine - it's only a couple of loose ends that are annoying, really annoying
Microsoft redesigned the Windows Media Player - so the information provided does not line up with the actual computer view - the software cd was out of date, would not play and required a contact with Samsung - to date, they have not provided an up-to-date cd - we did download the manual via DSL otherwise, given it being 40-odd pages, we would still be waiting for it to finish downloading.
We were able, by trial and error, to figure out how it works as opposed to the iPod owned by my wife - who is much more capable than I am with Digtal Audio Players - what does this say about Apple and Samsung? - hmmm.....
Where are the accessories? December 17, 2006

I had a 4 month ordeal trying to get an older, worthless iteration of Samsung MP3 player to work. Samsung really won me over with their customer service, as they eventually replaced the device with the pink version of this model. My daughter was absolutely thrilled to get the pink version, and I was absolutely thrilled to have the monkey off my back for getting her something that never worked.
Obviously, this thing has some good points.
The things that make this better than an ipod nano:
Battery life is really good.
You can drag and drop files onto the device as if it were just another folder on your system.
You don't have to install any bloated software that takes over your music files, renames them wrongly, stuffs metadata in them, etc (referring to WMP which is required by a lot of non-Apple products - iTunes isn't really bad, IMO).
It supports OGG very well. This doesn't matter to a lot of people, but if you think Apple audio format is good, you haven't heard this. Not for the non-techie, though.
Bad points:
The earbuds really are very poor quality compared to what Apple gives you with any iPod.
There are no accessories! Where is the charging cradle with AC?! Try and find cases, clips, etc. Just not available.
Playlists are very difficult to build and use.
Too many things end up in the 'Unknown' album since this thing can't simply list a folder name (which would be the group) when the tagging doesn't contain the group info. This is a programming weakness; if Samsung had half a clue how humans work, they wouldn't have released this device with this particular programming failure. It is one thing to know how your device works and yet another to understand how your market will use it.
No AAC support, as well as other music formats that sometimes make sense.
 happy with product November 10, 2006

Slick little MP3 player, easy to use, but battery died if I went more than 48 hours without playing it.
This is my 6th MP3 player, and one of 4 I have in use, but I decided to rreturn it to the store.
