This is one sweet MP3 Player that will have all your friends drooling ;o) I love it! And it's best feature has got to be the built in speakers, they sound like Bose quality and not a cell phone on speaker phone (that was my biggest pre-purchase concern). And the build quality on this unit is incredible! Before buying anything I always play with (stress test) at my local Best Buy and you couldn't break this one if you tried, i wasn't able to. It is made of metal and has a solid feel to it unlike most of todays cheapo gadgets built of plastics. I wish it had a larger storage capacity, 4GB isn't much these days a twenty or forty GB version would be to die for but would also up the price a bit. The controls are lovely n this even if you have clumsy fat fingers like me. I love the fact that I don't need to use any software to load music (although it does come with software on a cd), I plugged in the USB cable and my pc (running XP Media Edition) picked it right up and I just dragged and dropped my music right on without any itunes hassle ;o) I do wish Samsung wouldn't use a Proprietary USB connector, a mini USB would be much nicer I hate traveling with my laptop and having to carry around a dozen different USB wires for my devices since hey don't all use a stand mini to regular USB. Also Samsung should have included a wall (AC) charger, instead you have to use the supplied USB cable to charge. Also the included headphones roxx! I purchased an expensive pair of Bose Triport IE headphones to use with this but after testing the included ones verse the $100 I couldn't justify keeping the Bose so I returned them. Yeah the Bose sounded a tiny bit better but they actually require more power so when turned all the way up the included headphones are much louder. I love my K5 and even after considering the above mentioned Cons if I were to do it all over again I would still choose this player it is truly brilliant and a leader in it's class. I hope this helps anyone in the market. P.S. my Samsung K5 can kick your generic looking iPods butt any day! ;o)
