Best mp3 player out there. Had it for 4 years till a douchebag stole it from me! Never had a problem with it. And belive me... i used it... oh, i used it a lot!!
I have had my yp-k3 for more than 4 years (bought in June 2007) and i must admit its still one of the best mp3 players i have ever held in my hands. The design is perfect and the sound is brilliant. Battery life is also incredible - about 20 hours., even after 4-years usage. And in the end, the control is very simple and sweet :)
@whatitdewcuz You have to put your pictures via your computer icon. You can put your playlists and music there to. I think the program on the computer suck, so i do it via ''my computer''
@MrGitanoBoy No it doesn't... This model is kinda old, i got mine 3 years ago, and at this time, the cool things were ipod classic, so it was an innovation (thickness and touch) . They didn't put videos on it cause they had to put the K3 on the store before apple innovates more...
Had this player for about 1.5 years but it broke down the second time now (just does not switch on again), I switched to the Sony NWZ series. These players are great. Audioquality-wise they are equal but the Samsung does not play any videos :-( Besides, the Sony displays album covers and additional song information. However, the Samsung does look more stylish....but I expected a bit more quality for the price.
Bought mine about 2 weeks ago, and today I had it charged and it was working fine. And some errands that I made, and after about 3 hours I went back home and found it off. Been about 2 hours trying to put it on. Anyone can point me out what happened?
I have found the problem mate. At the back of the Mp3, look for a small hole, its in the bottom a really small hole, and try something that comes pointy, and press it. I've just reset mine and it switched on at the 1st attempt.
plz i have a problem with my samsung i have the same one but it wont turn on it happend an minute ago and the charger wont work and it wont turn on! plzzz.. help my anyone!
I have a few questions? Do mp3 songs have gaps between them, andn what is the headphone extension 2.5 mm or 3.5 mm. If you could tell me i would apreciate it verry much thanks
these models have a known problem where they just stop charging and wont turn on - sometimes the reset button fixes the problem sometimes not - as in my case. Samsung customer service are unable to help.
man i bought this twice from frys and they both didnt work, i charged it and it still wouldnt trun on!! somebody let me know wat the matter with it, is it me or the machine lol
yo can you hear the music without having headphones. Cuz I wanna buy an Mp3 player that has speakers that can put the music without having headpohones
I can't find a store that sells one. I tried Best Buy and they didn't have one. Instead they gave me, an arm-band with a case attached for it when exercising...Not what I wanted! lol
i understand what you are saying because the back to mine is scratched up badly to the point where the paint came off , but i got a case after a while.
kool, and i made a big typo that i just realised, instead of saying type it into youtube, i meant Google. sorry. its good you got a cover. my first player had a big scratch right in the middle where the touch sensitive controls where. the controls still worked but it looked ugly. so i exchanged it for another one.
I would like to get this mp3 player but unfortunately it isn't bluetooth enabled! That's why I'll probably end up getting the new Insignia 4 GB so I can use wireless headphones.
o yea also because it was originated from korea it dosent have the mac capability korea dosent have much MAC pcs only DELL OR WINDOWS OR ANYTHING else. but usally not apple
I have this mp3 player and the touch screen does get annoying. you'll be trying to press up but get "back" instead. THIS MP3 PLAYER MAKES U APRECIATE THE "HOLD" BUTTON because if u put it ur pocket while playing ur tracks probably gonna change. BUT IT GETS A LOT OF ATTENTION AND HAS GOOD VOLUME!!!
Don't get this player if you have a mac, I was very excited when I got, but when I plugged it to my mac, the shit didn't do a thing. it is very cool, but that turned me off. I hate pc's, windows sucks.
(replying to scrumdiddly) No, I was replying to several users. It's a flaw of YouTube. And I'm not really an Apple employee, more like an ol' hippie from the "iDon't" days.
i like the look of this my only worry would be the touch buttons they could get frustrating. So i might get it but its a hard chose to make between the nano and this
Actually, they're both the same thickness (yup!) If your friends are teenage girls who will be freaked out by cuteness, try this one. But if you just like colour (on the outside), do the nano.
and.... it's the same thickness! Now there's almost no reason! ("Random fanboy: But this YP-K3, teh name is sooo hard 2 remember! And can it sync with iTunes?")
I mean it. It's 3/1000ths thicker than the Nano (but who cares?), is glitzy and all that, and the black finish doesn't look as cheap as the 8gb Nano. WHAT'S TO LOSE? (and a firmware with VIDEO support is coming out soon!)
But everyone... you want a flash player with the size of a nano but the screen of an iPod video? Try the iriver clix!!!
hello well my screen is black and i can not fix it? i cant see inside can u please tell me what to do?

They really don't have much to do now, if they want to outsell the nano:
1. Elaborate advertising
2. Distribute to the world
3. Accompany it with software that can sync/transfer and has a store to media
... and that's about it.
