I was planing to buy an mp3 player for a long time. I checked a lot of players including iPod, Creative, Sandisk, Philips, etc and finally settled on Samsung YP-C1Z.
I had the following requirements
before buying an mp3 player:
* 1 GB flash memory
* support for 320 kbps mp3 files
* FM radio with presets
* voice recording
* audio presets
* data storage
Why did I settle for YP-C1Z only. Here are the reasons:
* it met all my above requirements
* SRS WOW audio enhancer
* many presets including Pop, Jazz, Rock, Classic, etc and Bass booster
* recording from FM - directly to MP3 in your set bit rate
* can record into MP3 from any audio source. example walkman, TV, CD player, etc or in short any source with audio out or headphone/speaker port.
* does not require any software for transferring files (like iPod requires iTunes). It behaves like any USB flash drive. Just plug in and transfer files with Windows Explorer
* No internal battery. It runs on single AA battery, with 42 hrs of playback time. So you need not return the player to company when battery stops charging.
* intuitive interface, easy to use
* 4 lines of LCD display
* Resume supported. Plays from where you switched off the player.
* sporty look, no plastic look and feel.
* sound quality is very good
Cons
-----------
* a little heavy with battery
* no color display
* play button a little sensitive. A slight pressure activates the player. So have to keep on HOLD (another feature) to prevent accidental playback
* does not switch off when headphone is pulled out (like iPod)
* 1 GB model comes only in one color
