Amazon.com Product Description

The Samsung YP-T9JQB 2 GB Digital Multimedia Player (Black) is a slim, lightweight portable digital multimedia player. This compact unit is full-featured enough for the multimedia enthusiast but easy enough to navigate through and use for the complete digital-age newcomer, and it's the perfect companion for everything from sitting on a bus on your way to school, to going to the gym.

The primary purpose of the Samsung YP-T9JQB is, of course, to play music, for which this audio player is well equipped. Compatible with MP3, WMA, and protected WMA DRM (digital rights management) 10 audio formats, the T9 features DNSe (digital natural sound engine) technology for a clear, full sound, and a 9-band customizable EQ with 11 preset modes for all types of musical preferences. This unit supports playlists, as well as an internal favorites list that acts as an on-the-go playlist, and is subscription service compatible (Janus DRM). All the regular modes of playback are included, such as repeat, repeat one, shuffle, and normal, but this unit also includes a variable playback speed setting that speeds-up or slows-down your music from 3x to -3x the recorded speed. Furthermore, to protect your sensitive hearing Samsung's T9 series has an option to limit the audio output level so you don't accidentally damage your ears due to uneven recording volumes.

Unlike many MP3 players, the YP-T9JQB doesn't just limit you to the music you already have. The built-in FM tuner will scan the entire FM range in under 60 seconds, and automatically place the available FM stations in to presets. To eliminate stations with marginal reception, users can adjust the sensitivity to only preset stations with a strong reception. What's more, the T9 will actually let you record directly from FM in MP3 format for playback later, even allowing you to select recording quality ranging from 96 to 192 kbps. And since this unit has a built-in microphone as well, you can also choose to record live sound or your own audio notes, also in MP3 format ranging from 32 to 128 kbps in quality, so you never need to miss a lecture or catch every word of a presentation again.

More than just a music player, the Samsung YP-T9JQB supports the playback of video in the MPEG4 file format, with a video resolution of 208 x 176 pixels at a frame rate of 15 fps. This unit even comes with Samsung's Multimedia Software that transcodes the video on your computer before transferring it to your multimedia player so the files on your T9 play at an optimal frame size and rate with minimal effort on your part. This Samsung multimedia player will also allow you to view JPEG images, complete with the ability to zoom and re-center an image, and set any saved JPEG image as your wallpaper to be used during music playback. And for those users constantly on the go, the YP-T9JQB allows you to view text files in customizable views, and delete files directly from your player without having to use a computer, so you can download the mornings email and take it with you on your way to the office, school, or an important meeting. But Samsung doesn't stop there, preloading the T9 with built-in flash games including Baseball and Pizza Delivery, as well as the ability to download new flash games and even delete current ones to make room for more.

The Samsung T9 multimedia player is built with a macromedia portable user interface with simple, intuitive menus and a 5-button front side controller. Menu navigation as well as video and pictures are displayed on a sharp, clear 1.8-inch TFT LCD with 262,000 colors and an adjustable brightness ranging from zero to 10. This unit supports 16 different languages for your menu view, and 32 different languages for ID3 tag information. The T9 allows you to choose between five different menu colors, even allowing you to shuffle colors at random so you get a different one every time you turn the unit on. During music playback you can set the display to show flash visualizers, JPEG photos, or the album cover art of what is playing, and power-saving features let you adjust your screen saver, sleep timer, LCD off and auto power-off settings.

The Samsung YP-T9JQB comes with two gigabytes of internal flash memory for storing up to 500 songs at 128 kbps, up to 20,000 JPEG photos, or up to 138 hours of audio recordings at 32 kbps. This unit has a built-in, rechargeable lithium-ion polymer battery with a capacity of 740 mAh that allows up to 30 hours of audio play time, or up to six hours of video play time. The Samsung T9 has a 20 mWatts per-channel output, and includes a USB 2.0 connector for interfacing with your PC, as well as a 24-pin UART (universal asynchronous receiver-transmitter) chip and 3.5mm earphone out connector. This multimedia player requires Windows XP or higher for subscription services, and comes with a pair of EP-370 balanced earphones so you can start listening to your music from the very first day. The YP-T9JQB comes with a stylish black finish, weighs only 1.73 ounces, measures just 1.68 x 3.27 x 0.44 inches (W x H x D).

What's in the Box
Samsung YP-T9JQB 2 GB digital audio player, 1 x pair of EP balanced earphones, 1 x USB cable, installation CD with Samsung Media Studio software, and a user's manual.

Customer Reviews:

Excellent little player.......2007-12-15

You know the expression, better to do a few things very well then try to do everything half-baked. Well Samsung really delivers here and more so. This is my first post-IPod-Nano generation type player and it's awesome from the look and feel. The best aspects are long battery life and ability to manage the files through Windows Explorer. That's an absolute must for me, I hate to have to transfer files with clunky bug-ridden software and famous "auto-sync".

Pros:

* long battery life
* Windows Explorer access

Cons:

* only 2 GB storage

Great for audio books.......2007-12-06

I purchaced this mp3 about 6 months ago. I have not downloaded music so I can't respond to thoes who have had problems with the software. I use mine for audiobooks and absolutely love it!! My husband bought one a few months after I did and loves his too. I have never had any problems with this player and have used it daily since I purchased it.

I liked it so much I also purchased another one for a Christmas gift!

Great player!

Love it until it died.........2007-12-05

Great MP3 player but it croaked after 3 months... It cost my $8 to ship and get it fixed... Hope to get it back soon.... Miss it...

Best of the best.......2007-11-30

Well I don't know about other product but I can compare this mp3 player with Ipod and sandisk sansa c250.

I have an Ipod mini but my husband wanted to have a mp3 player as well. So we searched a bit. At first, we bought a sansa c250 since it was very cheap and the review were not bad. But in 5 hours, that thing started to turn off randomly whenver we just tough it. So we just returned it. Then we thought maybe we just should get Ipod although that is pricy. But Ipod does not have FM radio feature. So we ended up with this one. We thought that samsung won't break down as easy as sansa..

Then,.. here it comes yp-t9. Wow, really wow! We did not expect this thing to be this good. The sound - not even comparable with Ipod. And very very clear FM radio. And this look very cute too!

We are 99% satisfied with samsung yp-t9.

The only thing my husband complaining is this mp3 player is so tiny it is somewhat hard to operate the button with his big hands, specially the one on the side.

The Fabled Nano-Killer.......2007-11-15

Overall, I've had good a experience with this player.

PROS:
1) It's small.
2) It's durable (I've accidentally dropped it several times).
3) It's easy to operate one-handed.
4) You can drag-n-drop standard MP3s onto it.
5) It can hold a lot of content.
6) It plays well with Napster.
7) It supports playlists created with a music service.
8) The screen is nice to look at (unless you're in direct sunlight).
9) The battery stays charged for a lot longer than I thought it would (three or four days at about two hours per usage).

CONS:
1) The position of the play/pause button. When trying to clip it onto my pocket while it's in the case I sometimes press it down by accident for too long and turn the player off.
2) The shuffle function. It doesn't shuffle every time you power it on, you have to force it to. When I add/delete songs it will shuffle, but otherwise it won't unless I change the play mode to normal then change it back to shuffle.
3) I haven't figured out how to delete the games so that I can have more space for music.

To me, this MP3 player is truly the fabled Nano-killer.

The Eton FR400 is extremely versatile, and can be powered by up to four different sources, including: the included AC adapter, three AA batteries (not included), the built-in rechargeable Ni-MH battery which can be recharged from the AC adapter or by hand, and the dynamo hand crank which not only can recharge the built-in battery but provides power even when no battery is installed.

It's the Little Things That Raises Questions.......2007-12-25

It's the little things that define the quality of a product. Having just received the Eton FR400 I can't attest to how well it will work under emergency conditions -- which is, after all, why one buys something like this. But there's a few little things that make me nervous about its quality and design.

The plastic strikes me as cheap. How will it stand up to getting knocked around?

The case is a textbook case of poor design. It fits the radio so tightly that it turns on switches when you insert the radio -- if you can get the radio into the case. Plus there's no room for the AC charger. This may sound peevish, but it's this kind of poor craftmanship which can be symbolic of a short sighted company. What good is a case if it's a pain to use? What good is it if it turns on features that drain the battery? What good is it if you can't carry accessories that comes with the radio?

And the key question, how good is a company that puts out a product so poorly designed? Was Eton trying to cut corners? If so, where else did they scrimp? Did anyone test the case before manufacturing it? If so, what kind of standards do they have?

Bottom line: the device has all the features listed here, but their execution makes me wonder if it was worth getting.

Clear and Crisp.......2007-12-08

This radio is a quality product. It tunes in stations easily. The sound is clear and crisp. Buttons, knobs, and switches are easy to use. The plus is that can generate power by itself. Aside from rechargeable batteries for emergencies, it uses three AA batteries for daily use.

Info on Digital for this item..........2007-11-16

I needed more info on this radio and others so I called Amazon tech support. I was given the Eton customer service number: 1-800-872-2228.

The Eton FR400 has TV capabilities that will become obsolete in 2009 as the signals will all be switched to digital for the TV portion of this radio. All other functions will work. The updated model, Eton FR405, is the same as this radio only without the TV signal capability. The FR405 is only available at Best Buy at this time. For my money, the FR400 with TV capabilities, while the TV signals last, is a better buy.

This radio is water resistant. A waterproof model would be perfect. We've lost a couple of cell phones in the river and water kills them fast. Sun dried cell phones are never the same if they even flicker with life at all. So, now I look for waterproof when buying anything that might get wet or fall overboard. An emergency radio is in that class.

Another newer model coming on the scene soon will be the Eton FR1000--no TV capability, but it will come with a walkie talkie. This is being tested now and should be the next model you will see on the market.

Eton does not make a GPS system combined with NOAA radio capabilities. They also do not have a unit with both shortwave and NOAA combined--apparently the circuitry on the two things are not compatable. No one has this.

I want something that will be equally useful on land, at sea or in a vehicle. I want an "emergency" unit that packages many of the things I may need for "survival" communication. Okay, I really meant everything I might need. :) I haven't found the perfect NOAA radio yet.

The other thing that is not available is an NOAA radio with digital TV. Apparently, the digital components are too expensive at this time to add this feature to these radios and maintain a decent price point. So, companies are simply deleting TV from the mix.

This model, Eton FR400, will charge a cell phone battery. None of the connections come with the unit. You send in for them. The first cell phone adapter connector is free, additional ones cost $5 each. Eton tries to keep a number of cell phone battery charger adaptors in stock, but you may want to see if they have your specific adaptor before making a purchase because they don't carry them all.

Amazon has inflated the retail price on this unit. It sells for $60 directly from Eton, plus $10 shipping.

The unit is larger than I expected. This is okay, but wouldn't a cell phone sized unit be wonderful! Waterproof of course.

Excellent emergency Radio.......2007-11-13

This is an excellent radio with good sound quality for both talk and music. It is sturdy and well built. It comes with a convenient carry case which holds the instructions and batteries which is very useful in the case of an emergency. Sound is clearest after a full charge using the built in re-chargable battery and also clear using AA batteries. The least clear sound is produced when all other power supply is exhausted and you need to use the crank. However, this radio has a lot to run on before you get to the crank stage.

The company was very prompt in supplying the cell phone adapter, however they have sent two and neither of them fit the phone so in an emergency we will not be able to charge the phone until we get this aspect straigntened out. this is the reason for 4 rather than 5stars

Every home should have this radio for both emergency and ordinary portable use.

Eton FR400.......2007-10-17

The FR400 is a good, though pricey, radio. The LED flashlight is intense (you won't want to look directly at it), but not so bright. This is the case for most LED flashlights, so, if you need to be active during a low light condition, you might be better off with an ordinary flashlight. I have two gripes:

1) It doesn't stand well on its end. During a recent power outage, I tried pointing the light upward, as I did with my other flashlights, so that it would reflect off the ceiling and illuminate a larger area. The dynamo crank prevents the radio from standing well on its end.

2) The AC adapter doesn't fit in the bag, as another reviewer already noted. The bag, by the way, fits rather tightly, so it is easy to accidentally turn knobs and flip switches as you're pushing the radio in.
