You can download your own music and pictures, and if you want a change from your own, you can switch to the radio and listen to a local station. The battery life isn't forever. Over all I like my mp3 player and its in the same hue zone as my favorite color.

Generally the Samsung YP-K3 is a very pleasing product. However, the battery life started to get less after a while

Great little machine, stylish & super VFM & whether you pay £50 or £100.. for the price of a Shuffle you get a Nano - look around for deals.

If you want quick, efficient product support Samsung is definitely not the company to choose! They just don't seem to care!

Overall I am very pleased with my purchase- the Samsung YP-K3 player is small, thin and light, it's easy to use, it has a cool user interface and visual equaliser, the screen is crystal clear and the battery life is about 18 hours (assuming you leave it to play through a list of tracks without inturupting it so often). There is also an FM radio built in, which picks up an astonishingly clear tuning. The software you use to sync music onto the player, Samsung Media Studio, is also quite impressive once you get it up and running.
Sound quality is excellent, but only on the "3d sound" EQ mode. All the other EQ's are quite disapointing and produce a rather flat and unexiting sound. However, the 3d sound EQ sounds fantastic on all genres, so this isn't a major problem.
Due to the shiny finish and touchpad on the player, finger prints and small scratches show up rather vividly on the player when it is exposed to light. I have to keep mine in an ipod nano sock when in my pocket otherwise it gets covered in marks and smudges.
Unfortunatly, there is no mains charger included, and you have to use the bundled USB cable. However, mains chargers are availible for as little as £3 on eBay, and seeing as the player has such a long battery life anyway, this isn't really a problem.
Although the player isn't without it's flaws, it has still proven to be the best MP3 player that I have ever owned. It is well worth the £120 I paid for it. Fantastic.

After 6 months, our samsung yp-k3 2 GB no longer backlights the screen--when we took it back to the store here in Taiwan, they said Sony and Samsung require a warranty card, not just the receipt, to repair it.<br/><br/>No warranty card in sight! 6 mos for $120 is $20 a month--a bit expensive for a rental! On the net, I find a number of complaints about the difficulty of getting this model repaired by Samsung. Add this to the list!
