Bad battery.......2007-04-10
I have one buy from bestbuy at end of 2005, one month later I found when conect to computer the mp3 automaticly recharge and remember it. One year after the battery only can use about two hours, two years after very defecult to use it and almost all time conect to the charge.
CRAPPY!!!!!!!.......2007-02-14
Initially I loved this item. But as time went on the love faded, really fast. After a few months the battery life became less and less. I initially purchsed this to record my lectures, and it did a fantastic job, for a while. Then after a year of having it the internal flash stopped working. This made it completely inoperable because I wasn't able to access the various functions. I called Samsung customer service and they were not helpful at all. This is the last Samsung item I will ever buy. I didn't want to give this thing one star, if I could I would give it negative stars for wasting my time and hard earned money.
Love IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.......2006-12-20
It is beautiful mp3 player. Looks special and different from a typical Ipod. Tons of memory; smaller than 20 GB Ipod. Easy controls, colorful display, cool USB host feature. Con: bad battery life.
Great price!
Battery life shocker!.......2006-07-11
After only having this mp3 player for a year, I'm ready to throw it in the bin. I could not even sell this piece of junk second hand, as it would be unfair to whoever was suckered into the purchase.
Looks-wise, sound quality and features, this is a top-class mp3 player, but the battery life is the worst I've ever experienced in any item of electronic equipment. Even after carefully nursing the battery to make sure that it was usually charged from completely flat, the player will now only work for about 90 minutes before switching itself off with a low battery warning.
Even worse is that it immediately displays the warning and shuts down if you press any off the buttons while the unit is playing under battery power. The only way to make any use of the thing whatsoever, is to leave it permanently set to shuffle all tracks, thereby avoiding touching any of the buttons.
I'm incredibly disappointed in what I had always thought to be a solid, reliable brand. I don't think I'll be buying any other Samsung products in a hurry.
A trick for loading music.......2005-10-19
I've read all the reviews about how inconvenient it is to load music to this player using WMP and Napster. You don't have to go this route though.
This player will function as a drag and drop if you do two simple things.
1: Change the windows settings to show hidden files. Then click on the device and open the music folder in the device. You'll see all the songs you have loaded in there. From there just drag and drop all your new songs right in the folder.
2: After this is done use the utility suite that came with the player to 'rebuild your library'. In doing so, the software will have your device recognize all the music you just dragged and dropped into the player. It's a little easier than syncing.
As for the 4 stars rather than 5, well....as far as I can tell the napster program is the only way to create playlists for the player. This coupled with the lack of accessories and all the searchability issues when you begin to compile quite a bit of music on the player are far from ideal. However, I've owned one since about 3 weeks after it was released and I am very satisfied with it. Never had any problems at all.
Hopefully when they release a general firmware update to it they take some of these issues into consideration.
Also, apparently (though I've never checked it out myself) the Samsung Music Studio program works wonders with this player as well. If anyone has access to this software, I'd love to hear your take on it.

Best sound; Indifferent quality; bad ergonomics.......2007-11-30
As a professional broadcaster for many years, I LIKE radios a lot. I've lived with my Superadio for about 10 years.
THE BAD: the ergonomics of the unit, the "human engineering", is pretty awful. The rotating pots for volume and tone are often sticky and gritty right out of the box. The plastic toggles for band, AFC, narrow/wide AM, are as cheap and cheesy as can be made and still function most of the time. The big tuner knob is pretty good, though. I don't get much drift once I set a station. The calibration of the dial is comically inaccurate, however, so the frequency markings are pretty much just a rough guide.
The form factor is another annoyance. Center of gravity is high so the unit tips over easily, and sometimes even adjusting the volume is a two-handed operation -- one to hold the unit and the other to twist the gritty little knob.
Overall build quality is not very high, and many purchased units are defective. Anyone who complains that they can't get decent reception or the sound is bad on their Superadios have defective units. That's the only possible explanation.
THE GOOD: The sound is absolutely glorious. Nothing can touch it in its class, and for twice the money. In addition to the large speaker the unit boasts a small tweeter. Voice or music, it offers the best sound you can get in a portable radio.
Reception is likewise incredibly impressive. Listening to AM at night is a real trip, literally. This is one of the reasons that there is no digital tuning on this model. A dial setup will pull in stations much better than a typical digital tuner will. "Digital" is not always best.
Battery life seems infinite.
BOTTOM LINE: This is the radio for people, and only for those people, who want the best available sound from a table/portable radio. Dontcha all be lookin' for clocks and alarms and doodads on this sweet thing, now. It's ugly, downright fugly, with iffy build and questionable design. But once tuned in, the glory of the sonics will be a reminder of a little money very well spent indeed.
Great radio.......2007-11-04
My husband loves his Super Radio, and this is the third one he's purchased in about 20 or more years. He uses them hard, has broken the antennas off the previous two, but he thinks they are the best for the money. Highly recommended!
tabletop radio.......2007-10-22
There is a classical station that is about 60 or so miles away and neither of the older radios could capture the signal and if they could it was only for a short time and then it would drift off never to be heard again. This radio pulls it in all the time and it has AFC and it works. Definite 5 stars!
Poor factory AM calibration, wrong component values used?.......2007-10-01
Took a while to ship, well packed, but product is a low-performance radio by my estimate because the factory adjustment is poor and the tuning pot doesn't allow for an easy recalibration of the tuning VCO, I think RCA received a bad schematic, this radio needs a different tuning pot.
I have a GE version of this radio and it required no further calibration and is the only radio I have that could pick up KGO 810AM during the day
from 400 miles south of the transmitter.
There is a low VCO tuning adjustment pot that I had to adjust to get a station at 540 Khz, but then, a 570, 600, 620, 640 and KNBR @ 680 were not
in the proper dial location, they were off by 40-100 Khz on the dial and all the upper freqs at the top of the dial were missing or out of range of the VCO adjustment, so I adjusted the upper VCO pot and I can get a station at 1700 Khz but all the freqs below it are either not present or 50-150 Khz out of dial location.
Normally when you adjust a new radio, you only need to adjust it at 600, 800 and 1400 Khz to get the heterodyne calibrated, otherwise you get the problems I have with this RCA version of a super-radio, VCO EMI that prevents some stations from coming in or the VCO emi is so strong that even a strong signal like a 50Kw KNX 1070 comes in so weak because it's not in sync with the heterodyne freq, this also affects the ability to use the wide/narrow band-width switch, at lower freqs before my necessary
re-calibration, the wide width made the center of a 1 kHz center freq about
40-60 kHz wide and at upper freqs, it made even a strong signal hard to center because the heterodyne was so out-of-sync that a lot of stations were eaten up by emi noise.
Currently this radio is a headache, once I adjust the upper freq VCO adj pot, I have to readjust the lower VCO adjust pot as calibrating for the 1400 KHz signal throws all the lower freqs out of position, then I have to re-adjust to re-acquire the 540 KHz signal, then the mid freqs are out of sync, so I adjust the upper VCO adjust pot, now both the upper and lower freqs are out of sync again.
With an analog variable tuning capacitor, once you adjust the tuning caps on the top, 2 for AM, 2 for FM for the 600,800 and 1400 KHz freqs, you are set for the whole dial, hardly ever does it require more than 2 or 3 tweaks to get everything on the AM dial set up properly, from my experience, I think the main tuning pot, (variable resistor) may have used the wrong type audio taper vs. a linear taper or a combination of either with the wrong value, (using a 50K vs. a 100K ohm non-linear tapered variable resistor) that alone would explain the problems I'm having getting the entire dial calibrated.
Other buyers are having good results?
Maybe I got a Friday poor Q.C. serial Number, I don't know, but one thing is for sure, I did not get the same quality of radio that I got 4 years ago when GE was still labeling these radios with their own name, not RCA.
Night Owls and Sports Fans Take Notice!.......2007-08-23
Unequalled AM reception under $200, unsurpassed at any price. Finally took mine out of town on the California coast, and was receiving August baseball from Seattle to LA SF and San Diego without serious effort, using the internal antenna. Uses six D batteries, the cheapest in the long run. Reminds me of the Longines Symphonette of yore, only better. For the under 30s, learn how to tune in AM with a vernier dial, and you won't be dissapointed. Add a good directional antenna (or build your own from a library book!), and it will amaze you.
