  Published: 2006-09-18, review by: Accelenation.com

  • Abstract:  Samsung has been quite active lately on the DAP (Digital Audio Player) front, with new designs being introduced much more quickly than we have been seeing from Apple. The YP-Z5 was introduced right after Apples iPod Nano, which uses Samsungs Flash m...

  • Abstract:  Samsungs 1.8-ounce YP-Z5 maybe be the perfect player for those who dont think the words “sexy” and “MP3 player” should be uttered in the same sentence. A metallic frame surrounds the devices edge, which makes the YP-Z5 noticeably t...

  • Quality metal construction, Clear, easy to read LCD, Displays your photos, Easy to use & good controls.
  • Maximum functionality available under Windows XP SP1 or higher only.
  • The YP-Z5 is a great MP3 player. Priced at $169 CDN for the 1GB unit and all the way up to $279 CDN for the 4GB unit puts it into the same price range as the iPod nano. The question is do you want to have iTunes installed or WMP10? At least with th...

  • Overall, the YP-Z5 succeeds because it produces very good quality sound output, has a lovely screen, and you can drag and drop music and picture files from your PC. Its long battery life is the icing on what is already a very nice looking cake indeed. But...

  • Compact, Clean looks & sound, Bright screen, Excellent battery life
  • Terrible controls, Tons of missing features at price point, No removable battery pack...
  • Besides the missing features that should be in a $250 player, the pain-in-the-arse controls of the YP-Z5 are enough of a reason to not buy this. ...

  • Very good battery life. Large screen. Good photo-viewing features. PlaysForSure-compatible.
  • A bit thick. No on-the-fly playlists. No lossless support. No recording or FM tuner. Not UMS-compliant. Controls could be slightly more precise.
  • The Z5 offers long battery life and good photo-viewing capabilities. It may be the first PlaysForSure-compatible 4GB flash player, but its still no iPod nano-killer....

  • The PlaysForSure Samsung YP-Z5 outputs clean and punchy sound and wont hog a bunch of real estate in your pocket. Its relatively large, bright color screen is great for viewing photos and navigating well-designed menus. We also like its solid aluminum...
  • The Samsung YP-Z5s touch pad, due to its varying degrees of sensitivity, can be difficult to deal with, especially when scrolling through menus. The Z5 also lacks some extra features, such as an FM tuner, audio recording, PIM functions, and on-the-go ...
  • If youre looking for a tiny, well-built, color-screen MP3 player with excellent sound, the Samsung YP-Z5 is a great choice. Just make sure that youre comfortable with the touch-pad controller before you buy.
