YP-T8
The Samsung YP-T8 is a brand of portable digital media player. It weighs just under 2 ounces. It has an FM tuner and recorder, along with voice and radio recording capabilities. A built-in Li-Ion battery provides up to 20 hours of playback time. The player provides a 3D audio experience and has been given the Microsoft PlaysForSure certification. File formats supported by the player include MP3, WMA, WAV, Ogg Vorbis, and ASF. Video and Gaming capabilities are also featured with this device. In order to view videos, files are encoded to MPEG-4 format by the software provided. (This software only work in the Microsoft Windows operating system.) The device also provides the cabability of storing and viewing pictures in JPEG format and text files in TXT format. Lastly, the YP-T8 supports a function that is not common in the MP3 market: USB HOSTING (also available on some iRiver players). USB HOSTING is basically connecting up a USB compatible device (that supports mass data transfers) and swapping around files, for example, that are in your digital camera, or even another MP3 player (which supports mass data transfers)
It is available in 512MB, 1GB, and 2GB versions.
Files are transferred using the Media Transfer Protocol. The YP-T8 automatically finds all playable files that have been transferred.
YP-T6
The YP-T6 is 22x55x23mm and weighs 30g. It can play MP3, Ogg Vorbis, ASF and WMA format files, and record into MP3 with quality from 32kb/s to 128kb/s. It has a built in FM radio tuner and can record directly from the radio to MP3. It uses a single AAA battery for power, which the manufacturer claims gives 20 hours of continuous playing.
It is available in 128MB, 256MB, 512MB and 1GB versions.
To copy files to the YP-T6, the user simply connects the device to a computer using a USB 1.1/2.0 port and copies files or directories onto the device. The YP-T6 automatically finds all playable files. It works with Linux without any extra software.
YP-U1
The YP-U1 is a flash-memory digital audio player that can play MP3, Ogg Vorbis, WMA, ASF and WAV format files, and record WAV files using the built-in microphone. It uses a non-removable rechargeable battery with an approximate runtime of 13 hours and does not include a FM tuner. Information is displayed on a small, but hires B&W LCD screen. The player supports the USB 2.0 specification.
There are three versions: The black YP-U1X, with a capacity of 512MB; the white YP-U1Z, with a capacity of 1GB and the black YP-U1Q with a capacity of 2GB.
To connect the YP-U1 to a computer, the user folds out the USB connector and plugs in into the USB port on the computer. Files are transferred onto it using the shell provided by the operating system or the included software. The included software only runs on Windows. It can be used on other operating systems as well without additional software, when accessed like an ordinary mass storage device. The battery is charged while the device is connected. The player also supports SRS WOW HD Sound enhancement through country specific firmware versions (Taiwan, Hong Kong). This technology makes a big difference to the perceived sound quality. USB Transferspeed is listed in the manual as 18 mbit/s. Actual tests reveal approx. 10 mbit/s for writing and 30 mbit/s for reading.
