Digital Audio Player with Built-In USB
The easy to use U3 works right out of the box with no need for cables, cords or docks and no need to install any programs. Simply slide a button and a slim USB connector will pop out. You may then plug it into any PC USB port and drag and drop your music files. While connected, the battery is charged, allowing up to 15 hours of playtime on a single charge.

The 4-line OLED display shows ID3 tag information such as Artist and Song, and combined with the quick touch navigation means you can serve up the song you want quickly.
FM Radio and Voice Recording
The U3 features an FM radio, utilizing the headphones as antenna. You can also record your own voice, speeches, lectures, and other outside sounds with your mp3 player, and can even adjust the quality of the recording by selecting a different bit rate.
Convenient File Transfer
The U3 also functions as a flash drive. You can use it to transfer files from one computer or USB device to another. With a 2GB capacity, the U3 has plenty of room to store your music while still accommodating all of your file transfer needs.
Customizable Hot Key
The U3 boasts a customizable shortcut key. Choose from one of the following:

Repeat A-B: Sets section repeat.
-
DNSe: Allows you to select an appropriate sound effect for music.
-
Play Speed: Adjusts the playback speed between fast and slow.

Samsung Media Studio
The included Samsung Media Studio is the easy-to-use software application that helps you organize your files on your PC. With your files already sorted and organized in Media Studio, you can quickly transfer them to your mp3 without searching your entire hard drive for the right file. This software is not required--users may choose to use different software (such as Windows Media Player) or simply drag and drop files to the device.

Wake up Samsung.......2007-12-25
1) No UMS (ie. does not appear as drive leter) - a pain as I can't double click a file on the player which I can see in Windows Explorer and hear it - I must copy it to PC 1st. BTW M. Okamoto, it deserves the bad rap it's getting about no UMS - I hope Samsung wake up & fix it in a new firmware release.
2) Only found out about not having to install unwanted Samsung Media Studio from Amazon (which I'm grateful for) after installing it.
3) Won't record from FM radio.
4) Still beeps with Hold on if accidentally push buttons - not logical (no I don't want to turn off Beep completely)

MTP takes a good device and ruins it.......2007-12-12
I use Ubuntu Linux, and had I known that Samsung's media player used Microsoft's MTP format, I would never have bought this device. Locked DRM ghettos destroy the value a customer seeks in a product. The proprietary player which ships with the device requires Windows to run, and is vastly inferior to my existing media solution (Amarok).
I can access the device with Ubuntu (the latest version, Gutsy Gibbon), but Samsung worked hard to spoil my experience. They feel they are 'protecting their rights,' but really, they're just shilling for Microsoft and spoiling my experience.
Has Samsung gone over to the Dark Side?.......2007-12-07
I already owned the Samsung YP-U2 before I bought the YP-U3 recently. I use Linux as my OS and a dominant music compression program available with most distributions is OGG-Vorbis, which does have not the legal baggage associated with MP3. So when Samsung advertisements stated that the YP-U3 offered OGG-Vorbis I jumped at the chance to buy one. However, Samsung's technology has begun to bow to the Windows way of doing things. I am not able to use the YP-U3 as a mass storage device (think USB thumb drive) like I did with the YP-U2; it has evolved into a device that requires separate music management software to upload music - which Windows users will understand if they use Media Player to manage their music files. Linux users have a limited means of using separate software to manage music, but in my case (with some adjustments to my system) I was able to use Amarok (a music program available with Linux/KDE) to upload music to the YP-U3. This is very cumbersome and much - IMHO - has been lost with Samsung's change in technology. Now that I have managed to modify my OS I really enjoy listening to OGG derived music on the YP-U3 but it has unneccessarily complicated what was a essentially a seamless process before with the YP-U2.
bad rap.......2007-12-01
This player is not too bad, what a bad rap it is getting from computer illiterates. OK, it is not a flash drive, so you won't get a drive letter for it. However, you can easily drag and drop various files to it within explorer. It works on the MTP protocol, which means you need to update to Windows Media Player 10 or you won't be able to access it. Note that you do not have to use Windows Media Player 10, you just have to install it. At any rate, it's a free update from MS. It's not one of those critical updates, so use the Windows update feature and click over to the software updates. That being said, the absence of documentation from Samsung to explain this little detail (and there is no indication of this on the packaging) is incredibly incompetent; it took me an hour to figure this out.
As for the player, yeah, the display is really small and difficult to see if you're running or such. The so-called buttons aren't buttons, and I'm constantly hitting the wrong one. Real buttons would be nicer. The sound quality is quite good, though, and the volume can be cranked way up. The snap-on clip is useless - it just snaps off... It's good overall (I have a drawer full of MP3 players, and it's a good one), haven't had weird firmware freezeups like on old Samsung players....
My only beef with this device is that it is too small (screen and buttons). Size matters.
Don't buy this one.......2007-11-29
This is a limited, step back in time, mp3 player. Was a mystery how to add music at first because as the other reviews point out it is not a usb mass storage device. If you have usb 1.1 like my computer, forget about it even connecting at all. You could try to flash the firmware to an older more advanced version, but word on the net is that you can't. Simply put, this is a major step back in technology.

VERY HAPPY.......2007-05-21
We had to have a long cable to run through the celing to the closet where the DVR is and we did not lose any quality in the Hi Def picture with this cable. And could not beat the price in any bricks and mortar store we found!
