Amazon.com Review

The Samsung Yepp Hip Hop is one of the coolest-looking digital audio players around, and we found ourselves offering it up like an excited kid at show and tell. The player's small size and its shiny silver color never failed to impress coworkers and friends, while its excellent sound also drew raves.

The most outstanding feature of the Yepp Hip Hop is its size--only 3.2 by 2.4 by 0.97 inches and 1.7 ounces. It's the size a deck of cards (and just a bit lighter) and fits neatly into a plastic pouch for wearing around the neck. We weren't sure how comfortable the neck cord would be, but a trip to the laundromat with the Hip Hop went off without a hitch. The player was barely noticeable and so light it didn't get in the way of fluffing and folding. Yet the controls were easily reached, and the great sound made the hours of drudgery fly by. Better yet, it never skipped a beat even when it was inadvertently slammed against a dryer a few times.

Of course, with its small size, you're paying a price in memory. This Hip Hop holds only 32 MB of music (another version holds 64 MB), or about 15 tracks at the lowest compression setting. That's plenty for laundromat trips and commutes, but not enough for longer outings. That's where the Hip Hop's SmartMedia slot comes in, with room for flash memory cards for another 64 MB. Anything more than that and you have to turn to another type of player. Sound quality was very good even with the included cheapo earphones--the dynamic range was crisp and had clean tones at high and low ends.

To download music to the Hip Hop, use the included USB cable to access the player's flash memory, format it, and transfer songs. You will need a USB port on your PC and Windows 98 or 2000 (Windows 95 and NT are not USB-compatible); it is also compatible with Mac OS 7.0 and above. Follow the directions in the manual for adding a USB driver to your system.

The Yepp Hip Hop comes with RealJukebox software for ripping CDs, which took quite a bit of tinkering to get it to work right. (Make sure to check security and encoding settings.) The Hip Hop's manual didn't help much and unless you log on to the Internet, you won't have access to RealJukebox help. But once the software was all set up, it took us only about 30 seconds to encode a track into MP3 format, and then another minute or two to move it to the Hip Hop.

Controls on the Hip Hop are basic. The buttons are the size of BBs, which made them difficult to operate at times. The included remote control with backlit LCD adds a few more features, like reverse, hold, and four equalizer settings, but search functions are primitive.

Ultimately, its software and hardware limitations might not make it the best MP3 player deal on the market. But with its cool design, sound quality, and portability, the Yepp Hip Hop more than holds its own as an entry-level MP3 player. --L.E. Klein

Pros:

Good entry-level MP3 player
Tiny and light--can be worn around the neck comfortably
Sound quality was crisp and clear

Cons:

Not much memory
Software is a pain

I am very happy to own this mp3 player(Silver Color).......2002-09-19

I have just received this unit today. It takes less than 2 minutes to transfer 32MB mp3 songs to the onborad memory using windowsXP, the YEPP explorer from the samsung website, DO NOT INSTALL THE SOFTWARE ON THE CD. I think this player's output is loud enough to enjoy the music on the street or working out. I don't know the battery life but ppl do have good thing to say about it. I have no problem connecting this unit to the computer.(less than 1 mins) and about the belf clif? It is very easy to use and fit perfectly to the player and I have no problem wearing it around.(I do prefer to have an arm band.) The battery door is no trick to open. This is the easiest electronic I have ever used. I don't know why people keep having hard time to operate it. I bought it at 39.99 with free shipping and I am heading to the neweggs.com to get a 25 Dollars 64MB SmartMedia card. Total investment will be around 65 dollars for a 96MB meomry MP3 player with cool apperance. Thumb UP to samsung again. oh yeah, I do own another 99 dollars Samsung Laser printer (8MB). I think I will give them more business in the near future when I buy a new plasma TV or HDTV.

Not compatible with Windows XP.......2002-08-30

If you have Windows XP, forget it. I was on the phone with Yepp Technical Support, as well as RealJukebox Help (Yepp uses RealJukebox software). No one could tell me how to get it working with Windows XP.

samsung jjang!.......2002-08-11

i finally bought this player online after wanting it for a long time. the lack of memory is the only pitfall to this machine, but extra memory slot makes up for it. it is incredibly easy to use, it took me only less 30 min to setup the connection, software and fill the 32 mb...i think its pretty amazing considering i've never used an mp3 player ever before! someone earlier said that it didn't work too well with XP but it worked perfectly for me. one of my favourite things is its not "expensive looking", the design is really fun and someone it convinces me that its less likely to be the target of a theft. i went jogging with it this morning and it was LIGHT! no skip, no burden, no hassle, just continuous music.

Not good at all.......2002-04-27

I got one of these for christmas. It was rather large compared to some of the others in it's price range and the timing of the songs is so inacreate. You have to use 96kbs quility songs for it 2 be acreate, lower quility songs it just takes a guess at the lenght according to the quility. Also it takes an age to copy and delete songs. After about 2 months of having one it broke and the buttons would not work. I got a RCA K@zoo! copys and deletes about 20times quicker and is smaller, more durable and has acreate timing.

Better yet, it never skipped a beat, even when it was inadvertently slammed against a dryer a few times.

Samsung has packed 64 MB of onboard memory into the Hip Hop, enough for 60 minutes of music without fiddling with cards or paying for more memory. But if you want more playback the player's SmartMedia slot has room for flash memory cards for another 64 MB, enough for another hour of music, an impressive capacity for an MP3 player at this price. Sound quality was very good, even with the included cheapo earphones--the dynamic range was crisp and had clean tones at both high and low ends.

But once the software was set up, it took us only about 30 seconds to encode a track into MP3 format, and then another minute or two to move it to the Hip Hop. Figure on 45 minutes to fill up the full 64 MB memory.

A not bad player........2003-12-28

well ive had my yepp for about 2 years now, its been dropped many times and the paint has worn off in many places. but there are no cracks on the case and the sound quality is just as good as the day i got it. i do suggest getting a new pair of headphones. And you should also use the yepp explorer instead of the realjutebox. overall a good product for the prrice i got it for.

Yepp NO.......2003-11-07

Ok...first of all this comes with real audio...real jukebox...with no support for Windows Media Player...Now you'd figure that Real Audio would make the thing work with Real One...Yepp? NO...

Heres the thing just download the mp3 software that communicates directly with the Yepp player from Samsung ...which is better anyway...Yepp? Yep..
Other downers...the unit does not time out...so if you leave the battery on it will be very dead!! Yepp? YEPP!! Also if you have it in you pocket and lean against something...dead battery..and dead yepp..
It needs a smartmedia card...otherwise it's total useless...but it only takes 64mb...so unless you are listening to the "best of asia"...this going to be frustrating..not enough songs!! Yepp!!
So if you are looking for something cheap...then this is ok...but it burns batteries like crazy...so keep extra batteries with you!!! YEPP!!

The Perfect Gift.......2003-05-14

I purchased this MP3 player for my friends birthday, and he really loved it. It was such a good deal, only 45$ and the perfect example of new music technolagy. He carries it everywhere, in his smallest pocket, and is able to listen to over 100 hours of any songs on the web. Now thats a real deal. Listening to the best artists in the world from a 2-ounce device. Yepp has perfected music.

I like its look.......2003-05-09

very beautiful, I like it. And it works great.

Yepp is Yecch!.......2003-01-09

Software crashed my windows machine. Errors in recording. Not compatible with anything. Do not buy!

This thing rocks!.......2001-07-22

This little baby holds 32 mega bites (about 30 minutes of saweeeet tunes. I thought I'd never see the day where you didn't have use some kind of CD or cassette. I bet in a few years these puppies will bring down CD's like a like a lion catching it's pray. Just like the CD's wiped out cassettes. And the best part about these thing is about these players is that they're sooo SMALL. It only weighs a little under 2 ounces (1.7 onces to be precise). And that's not all! It only takes 2 count em' 2 batteries. This is what makes this particular Digital audio player: The two awsome, vibrant colors. See-through bright orange and blue. These colors are only available on a Samsung Yepp Digital audio player. This is definatly is the best looking MP3 player that I have ever seen!

Product Description

JVC GR-SXM330 camcorder has three recording modes. It uses Super VHS recording to deliver up to 60% better resolution than standard models for better quality home movies. For quality and economy, the Super VHS ET mode lets you take those high-resolution videos using any VHS-C tape. For compatibility with any VHS video recorder, standard VHS is also available.GR-SXM330's 2.5" LCD view screen allows the camera to be operated from any angle, for maximum comfort. The picture stabilizer gets rid of annoying picture shake. The 400x zoom makes sure you don't miss any of the action. A built-in light improves the picture in nighttime situations. Endurance Shooting allows up to two hours recording time with the provided battery pack. When you are done recording, the tapes play back and can be shared in any VHS video recorder using the provided VHS-C Playpak.

Amazon.com Review

With the GR-SXM330U, JVC has crafted a lightweight, feature-packed camcorder that's as well suited for business projects as it is for home movies. Though it records on standard VHS-C tapes (and includes an adapter cassette for playing them on standard VCRs), the GR-SXM330U also supports the use of S-VHS-C tapes, which promise sharper images. Alternately, you can activate the camcorder's S-VHS ET mode to achieve a similar image-quality increase on ordinary VHS-C tapes.

Thanks to its sharp, pivoting, 2.5-inch color LCD, the camcorder lets you shoot effectively from many angles (including below, above, and in front of the lens). The 16x optical zoom lens is augmented (at the expense of image quality) by a 400x digital zoom.

You probably won't need the manual to start shooting with the GR-SXM330U, but it will come in handy when you're ready to tap into the camera's vast array of advanced features. While the clearly labeled buttons and clever menu-wheel control make for easy navigation of settings and menus, it can be difficult to remember what buttons lead to which settings.

For the artistic moviemaker, the GR-SXM330U offers a handful of whiz-bang "digifects." You can give your shots the look of an old movie (black-and-white with a slight strobe effect), add a sepia filter, reverse or stretch the image, and more. You can also choose from a variety of fade/wipe transitions, and superimpose one of eight preset titles (such as "Happy Birthday" and "Our New Baby"). The camcorder even has a high-speed shutter mode for capturing sports and other fast-moving events, and a digital image stabilizer for shaky situations.

The GR-SXM330U performs equally well under indoor and outdoor lighting. In low-light situations, you can switch on the camcorder's built-in light or use Night Alive--a digital enhancement that promises to make dark subjects brighter. It works, but the camera then becomes difficult to focus, and images take on a strobe effect.

The included clip-on battery is good for over an hour of recording between charges, though it can be charged only when attached to the camera. Our only physical problem with the GR-SXM330U was that sometimes the cassette door wouldn't close properly, requiring a little extra shove to snap it shut.

Compact and hardily constructed, the JVC GR-SXM330U combines the convenience of VHS compatibility with a host of highly desirable features. It's a splendid choice for capturing your family history. --Rick Broida

Pros:

Offers higher-resolution recording on normal VHS-C tapes
Endless assortment of special effects and picture controls
Built-in light
Wireless remote for playback
Control wheel provides easy navigation of onscreen menus

Cons:

No standalone battery charger
Cassette door can be hard to close
Mono audio output for dubbing

Batteries don't last long.......2006-09-09

I have had this camera for about 5 years and didn't use it all that often but when I did I was pretty happy with it until recently when the battery started lasting only 5 minutes after charging it. So if you want to get this camera I suggest picking up another battery

Had for Many Years and Still Love It.......2004-04-04

I bought mine at another store several years ago. I have only recently had any problems with it and that is the batteries. They do not charge anymore because of age and use, but other than that, this camera has not had any problems. I have never had trouble with the door. I love the effects. As soon as I can find a replacement battery, I will be back to videoing. I have taped a moving train, cats runing around and even a funeral on this baby. It is a great camera for as old as it is.

product nogood cant find anyone to return it to.......2003-11-07

i have recieved my camera it does not work at all they stated that it was still wrapped in its plastic and even though it was it had been used enough to have the paint on the buttons wore off the battery is so used up it will not take a charge or the recharger does not work and the adapter does not work`this camera is junk and now i cannot get ahold of anybody to return it to!!!!!

Only good for awhile.......2002-11-14

Took nice pictures and I was very happy with it until the cassette door started to not work properly and other things started acting up. It is now 14 months old and off warranty and needs to have the cassette housing assembly replaced at a price not worth considering. We were told this was not caused by neglect or improper usage.

good camera.......2001-12-13

I just got this camcorder, and while I haven't played with it much yet, I can tell that it is fine for my purposes -- home shooting on special ocassions, holidays, etc. I did much research and this was one of Consumer Reports top-rated analog models. So, unless you want to make a movie, save yourself a few bucks, and the blandishments of salespeople, and buy this camera.
