Yepp MP3 Player Review
MP3's have surpassed adult content as the No.1 search
entered into search engines. With the massive media attention surrounding recent
RIAA lawsuites against Napster and MP3.com to the multi-million dollar deal
struct with Limp Bizket you get the feeling that MP3's are well... unstopable.
With that in mind I thought I would pick myself up one
from the handful of new portable MP3 players that have been hitting
stores. As a bonus, you get to see how it performed ;-) The Diamond Rio and Creative Nomad seamed to be the logical choice, but after looking around
a bit more I found the Yepp, and
picked it up.
The Yepp stood out because it was
just so small, had a sleek aluminmun cover and well... just caught me
eye!

I couldn't find anything on Samsung's site about the
64MB flash memory card but I have been told it does exists (e-mail me if you
know where to get one). Anyway, one of the things I looked at when trying to decide which player to get
was size. As I discovered, the Yepp is the smallest of the three, and also the
lightest.
