Samsung Yepp YP-S3 (4 GB) Digital Media Player

I returned 2 Creative Zen MP3 players that froze up all the time before I purchased this nice product. I mostly use it for audio books. It is compatible with my library's format, DRM-WMA. And, best of all, it has a very easy to use bookmark function. I like the touch screen and its sleek looks. I would definitely buy it again.

I previously owned a YP-P2 for 2 years, before dropping it and rendering the display screen inoperative. Not wanting to spring the full price for a replacement Yp-P2, I settled on the next lower tier of Samsung's offerings for portable media players; the YP-S3. So, this review will also have many comparisions between these 2 models.
The S3 is a much smaller player, but the ergonomics are still excellent. The touch functions are limited to the controls - the screen is display only (whereas the YP-P2 was a full touchscreen/display).
Menu layout is very much like the YP-P2; and is intuitive and well laid out.
The screen is quite small (again, compared to the YP-P2). It is adequate for information and menu navigation, but watching videos on the tiny screen would lead to eye strain. Get a full-sized player if you are planning to watch a lot of video.
Sound quality is where this player excells; and surpasses the YP-P2 massively.
Be sure to get quality earphones. Tweaking the DNS settings just right will bring tears to your eyes at the marvel of the sound quality, even at full volume - it's that good. The YP-P2 would distort heavy bass (amplifier clipping) much more than this player.
