Ab Work Outs: Samsung YP-U3JQL 2GB USB Digital Audio player with FM Radio (Blue) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Ok, keep in mind that this review is coming off of a person who previous owned a Sansa M240 (a piece of junk!!!) but ...

This little item is excellent.I stores a lot of songs and from the first view one can see that it is much better built.It's got a FM radio built into it, which is nice, and can handle a variety of music formats.The unit is better designed so that buttons don't physically need to be pressed - all you do it swipe your hand over the button to activate it.The is nice because with a small unit like this I'm thinking the physical energy to push the button is stress the unit to eventually break. And it is incredibly light - about the size of a small pack of Wrigley's gum.

The only drawbacks that I see to it are:

1)It recharges through the USB port, so you'll need to have a computer nearby to recharge it.As someone mentioned in another review, that might be a pain for using on a vacation unless you own a laptop.However, to counter this, the unit does have a 15 hour charge, so you'll have to be listening to music a fair amount of time until it loses charge.

2)It would have been nice if it came with a lanyard.

However, both of the concerns I noted are miniscule, and I would still recommend this MP3 player.I got the black version of this unit, but the blue unit doesn't look that bad as well.
