If you are in the market for an MP3 player and the YP-K5 is on your list, Everything USB has a review for your reading enjoyment. Although I found the article over critical on some areas, the reviewer does a great job going in depth into many issues that an MP3 player faces.

If you love to share music with friends or simply prefer portable speakers over headphones, the YP-K5 is a great player with a few quirks you’ll have to live with. Otherwise there’s better equipped options on the market.

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
