Samsung Yepp Hip-Hop 32MB Digital Audio Player (Silver)
Product Description
Amazon.com Review
The Samsung Yepp Hip Hop is easily one of the coolest-looking digital audio players around, and we found ourselves offering it up like an excited kid at show-and-tell. The player's small size and its groovy translucent color never failed to impress coworkers and friends, while its excellent sound also brought raves.
The most outstanding feature of the Yepp Hip Hop is its size--only 3.2 by 2.4 by 0.97 inches, and 1.7 ounces. It's the size of a deck of cards (and just a bit lighter), and it fits neatly into a plastic pouch for wearing around the neck. We were a little dubious about how comfortable the neck cord would be, but a trip to the Laundromat with the Hip Hop went off without a hitch. The player was barely noticeable, and so light it didn't get in the way of fluffing and folding. Yet the controls were easily reached and the great sound made the hours of drudgery fly by. Better yet, it never skipped a beat, even when it was inadvertently slammed against a dryer a few times.
Samsung has packed 64 MB of onboard memory into the Hip Hop, enough for 60 minutes of music without fiddling with cards or paying for more memory. But if you want more playback the player's SmartMedia slot has room for flash memory cards for another 64 MB, enough for another hour of music, an impressive capacity for an MP3 player at this price. Sound quality was very good, even with the included cheapo earphones--the dynamic range was crisp and had clean tones at both high and low ends.
To download music to the Hip Hop, use the included USB cable to access the player's flash memory, format it, and transfer songs. You will need a USB port on your PC and Windows 98, 2000, or Me (Windows 95 and NT are not USB compatible); it is also compatible with Mac OS 7.0 to 9.2.1. Follow the directions in the manual for adding a USB driver to your system.
The Yepp Hip Hop comes with RealJukebox software for ripping CDs, which took quite a bit of tinkering to get it to work right (make sure to check security and encoding settings). The Hip Hop's manual didn't help much and unless you log on to the Internet, you won't have access to RealJukebox help. But once the software was set up, it took us only about 30 seconds to encode a track into MP3 format, and then another minute or two to move it to the Hip Hop. Figure on 45 minutes to fill up the full 64 MB memory.
Controls on the Hip Hop are basic. The buttons are the size of BBs, which were sometimes difficult to operate. The included remote control with backlit LCD adds a few more features, like reverse, hold, and four equalizer settings, but search functions are primitive.
Ultimately, its software and hardware limitations might not make it the best MP3 player deal on the market. But with its cool design, sound quality, and portability, the Yepp Hip Hop more than holds its own as an entry-level MP3 player. --L.E. Klein
Pros:
Tiny and light--can be worn around the neck
Good sound quality
Comes with remote and earphones
Basic search functions
Software is a pain
It connects to your PC via a USB cable, which is compatible with PCs running Windows 98 or 2000 with a USB port. The Hip Hop plays MP3 files and is SDMI compliant. It comes with a USB cable, two AAA batteries, and a CD-ROM with file management, CD ripping, and MP3-playing software for the PC.

A not bad player........2003-12-28
Yepp NO.......2003-11-07
Heres the thing just download the mp3 software that communicates directly with the Yepp player from Samsung ...which is better anyway...Yepp? Yep..
Other downers...the unit does not time out...so if you leave the battery on it will be very dead!! Yepp? YEPP!! Also if you have it in you pocket and lean against something...dead battery..and dead yepp..
It needs a smartmedia card...otherwise it's total useless...but it only takes 64mb...so unless you are listening to the "best of asia"...this going to be frustrating..not enough songs!! Yepp!!
So if you are looking for something cheap...then this is ok...but it burns batteries like crazy...so keep extra batteries with you!!! YEPP!!
The Perfect Gift.......2003-05-14
