:. Introduction .:

The new Yepp MP3 player from Samsung is one of the smallest and best-sounding MP3 players that I have seen. At first glance, you can already tell this is truly a quality MP3 player. It is a very rigid device, making it easy and worry-free to hold in your hand or pocket. The best part about the Yepp is the fact that when you are listening to your tunes, the actual player is out of site and out of mind. This allows anyone listening to MP3s on the Yepp to be able to enjoy their music and not have to keep worrying about battery power or skipping.

During my use of the YP-35, I took the MP3 player around to many places. The ultimate test of comfort and enjoyment came when I and about 20 others played a fast-paced game of road hockey at the local university. I must say that the YP-35 truly impressed me during this battle. Having the player in my pocket, I soon forgot it was there because it is so small and light. Prior to the YP-35, I have never experienced the joy of being able to listen to my favorite tunes while also enjoying fast-paced activities. That's one huge advantage of having tiny rigid MP3 player such as the YP-35.

The Samsung Yepp bears little resemblance to traditional MP3 players because its design is unlike any other. The buttons for the player are hidden on the side of the YP-35, but they aren't your traditional menu buttons either. Instead, the buttons are the two-way swivel types that are often found on Sony devices. These are very functional because the chances of accidentally hitting the buttons are quite slim, even when the MP3 player is bouncing around in a pocket. However, for those of you who are extreme sports fans, you will be glad to hear that the YP-35 also has a 'hold' feature to make sure that whatever activity you are doing, you will be doing it listening to the music you love.

To turn on the device, simply hold down the play/stop swivel button for one second. Then you will be greeted with a beautiful high resolution dot matrix screen, backlit with blue.

One major feature of the YP-35 is its diverse list of options. Everything from the contrast and brightness of the LCD to the bass level can be manipulated. These options don't seem to be all that important if the Yepp is used with headphones. I must mention before I move on that the YP-35 headphones have Ipod styling and quality and fit the ear nicely. Most people now use MP3 players in their cars and if these audio tuning options aren't available or if they lack customization, your music won't sound like you would like it to. That's exactly where the YP-35 comes in.

The Samsung Yepp has a new sound chip, dubbed 'SRS WOW!’ which dramatically enhances audio. With one click, the audio is setup to augment bass, treble, and overall clarity. I noticed a big difference with the SRS Wow engaged, especially while having the YP-35 playing through my car speakers.

Surprisingly, the Samsung Yepp has a long battery life even though it runs on one AAA battery. During my testing of the player, I got about 15 hours of playback time on one AAA. This is definitely a bonus for those who frequently listen to their music on the go.
