It’s impossible to miss the Samsung YP-K5’s placement in the completely obnoxious (and yet oddly hum-able) Fergalicious video. Don’t believe me? Watch and see what I am talking about…

If your curiosity has been piqued at all by this digital music player, then you might want to check out its Everything USB review.

From the press release:

“Ever felt like sharing that one song’s amazing guitar riff with a friend, only to surrender your earbuds or dangle them between yourselves as you both try to listen in on what has now become a miniscule peep? Short of carrying yet another AA-driven pocket weight at all times, there was never really a better alternative, until Samsung smartened up and did something about it. The end result is the YP-K5, the latest in their Yepp line of MP3 players to have crossed our eardrums and clamor for a review.”

Pros:
- Excellent sound
- Bass-enhanced earphones
- Better-than-you’d-expect speakers
- Simple controls
- Makes a great alarm clock
- Fast and sensitive FM tuner
- 30+ hour battery life
Cons:
- Bulky
- Few EQ presets
- No custom EQ
- Poor readability in sunlight
- No accelerated scrolling
- Can’t turn off the fade-in
- Lacks on-the-go playlists
- No FM recording
- No USB mass storage partition
- Optional Samsung Media Studio software is misleading, bloated, and difficult to use
