    Good Points: Easy to use, light and portable. Includes a remote control attached to the headphones so you can skip through songs without accessing the device.


    Bad Points: Being connected to Napster is a bit restrictive but it does work through Media Player as well.


    General comments: This device rivals the iPod. It may not have a funky design but it includes functionality iPods don't have, like voice recorder and radio.

    I've had my YH-920 GS for a little while now and have no trouble with it at all!

    I plan to be rid of this player as soon as possible, I brought it to replace an Archos Jukebox recorder 10 which even though it was bigger was far superior as standard but with the Rockbox operating system was even better. The only thing I can see making this device better is if Rockbox manage to port their OS to it or Samsung decide to write some firmware to improve the useability.
    All in all I consider this purchase a waste of money.

    It would have been a fantastic device if it worked, but the software just bugs you and you can't fix it. I would rather throw my money in a drain and at least save the hassle of spending 3 days working with the Samsung YH-920 GS MP3 player (without success). It is going back to the shop (one-way ticket).

    When I got this Samsung YH-920 GS player it was very good, and reasonably priced. I didn't find the software difficult as it wasn't Napster - it was the Yepp's own programme. Then the firmware developed a fault after around 7 months. The amount of time it took to get the player repaired was so shocking I'm looking to replace it. It was actually sent back to me with the same fault I sent it away with.

    Also switching to Napster really annoyed me, especially since they didn't tell me. The old ...

    Although it is a massive storage device the Samsung YH-920 GS is hard to put music onto it and the battery life is about 3 hours max. There are better mp3 players available and for that reason i would strongly recommend that you do not buy the Samsung YH-920.

    After updating the firmware and drivers from Samsung (easy to find), my Samsung YH-920 GS MP3 player often freezes when I try to connect to the PC. I recommend not charging when you connect as this reduces the crashes.

    After resetting the YH-920 you have to wait about 5 minutes before you try to switch back on, or you will get no screen and you have to redo the reset procedure.

    Because you have to connect to the PC to install music, this made the whole process unbearable, to the degree tha ...

    I have a PC, and can use it for fairly basic functions (writing letters etc...) but I am not very technically minded, and when I read a load of specifications etc... about a product, a lot of them go over my head. (I genuinely had no idea what ripping and synching were 5 days ago)! So when my wife got me a Sumsung YH-920 MP3 player for my birthday, I was a little apprehensive about how it worked. I had a check on the internet and read many terrible reviews of the product. Reviews from people ...

    I bought Samsung YH-920 GS MP3 player, as other Samsung products I have bought in the past have been very good. This is definitely the exception.

    The biggest problem is that the Yepp software is incompatible with WMP10. It tells you to remove v10 and install v9, which isn't possible since Microsoft have stopped publishing it for XP!

    I failed to get the player working, even after going to the Yepp website - which unfortunately is in Korean...

    Prognosis - Not good! ...

    Samsung YH-920GS Portable MP3 Player.


    I am currently trying to use the recovery utility because of a problem with firmware! While I was listening to it, it suddenly stopped, and the recovery utility programme doesn't work. This is my third MP3 player, and I don't think I'm having much success with them. I found that while I was using the Samsung YH920, I wasn't able to make play lists, there were big delays while songs were changing while on random, and it ran out of battery power within ...

    On the good side the Samsung YH-920 GS has useful features as listed above, good heft and feel and comes with a good set of kit as standard (leather case, remote control, dock etc). It can work as an external HDD via USB, and record voice to MP3 via a built in mike at reasonable quality.

    Not so good points:-

    1 - Can only import music files from Napster using the software provided. If you want to import your CD collection you have to use a 3rd party encoder (Audiograbber works well)

    2 - ...

    This is the worse product I have ever purchased! First, there is NO reference to the fact that you are REQUIRED to subscribe to napster. Then the product fails to turn off when you press the off button. Finally, it randomly turns itself off.

    I don't have this specific Portable MP3 Player, I have the Samsung YH-820 which is the smaller version. Therefore I cannot comment on the actual unit itself. However they both run on the same software which is awful. It is imposible to use, and unlike any other music program. Mot of the time it claims to have transfered music to the device but hasn't, and all of my music had to be first loaded onto windows media player, then synced, then put onto the mp3 player. If you are considering buying an ...
