The old logos for Yepp players

Yepp was Samsung Electronics' digital audio player brand until Samsung decided to retire most of their family brands in February 2011. [1] From then on, their MP3 players were simply branded "Samsung" worldwide until they discontinued all of them in late 2013. The brand included a wide range of hard-drive based as well as flash-memory based players. The name is claimed to be an acronym for "young, energetic, passionate person".

History

The Yepp brand was first introduced at CES 1999 in Las Vegas,Nevada. the first Samsung mp3 players that were unveiled were the Yepp YP-E, YP-B and YP-D. Samsung MP3 players were branded "Yepp" worldwide until 2003. From then on Samsung only kept this brand for the Korean market while the players sold in the rest of the world were simply branded "Samsung". Samsung finally dropped the Yepp brand in Korea too since 2011. Even though it has disappeared for 10 years in Europe and America, it is still common among the users to refer to the Samsung MP3 players as "Yepp".[ citation needed ]

As of November 2013, Samsung discontinued their MP3 players line in most countries. Only the YP-W1 and YP-U7 are still available in some countries. The Galaxy Players series has also been discontinued in most countries. Samsung released the successor to the YP-GI1, the YP-GI2 (Galaxy 070) only in Korea in August 2013. Samsung shut down all official MP3 players dedicated websites and blogs in Korea and worldwide. [2]

As of December 2016, Samsung discontinued their MP3 players and Android-based Galaxy Players lines worldwide. Even though Samsung never announced officially they would stop producing MP3 players, it appears that they did.

Comparison of models

The naming scheme of Samsung players has always been the same. For example, YP-P2JEB, where J stands for Janus (MTP models, no letter if UMS), E stands for 16 GB (V:256 MB; X:512 MB; Z:1 GB; Q:2 GB; A:4 GB; C:8 GB; E:16 GB; N:32 GB) and B stands for Black (W:White; P:Pink; S:Silver etc.). On some models, an R indicates RDS support (for example: YP-F2R) or an F indicates an FM tuner (example: YP-Z5F); however, some models with the feature do not have the suffix.

Some Samsung MP3 players, including YH-820/920/925, YP-R0, YP-R1, and YP-Z5 are partly or fully supported by Rockbox. [3]

YP-Z5(F)

Samsung Z5 (slide-show) Samsung-Z5.jpg
Samsung Z5 (slide-show)

Z5(F) is a flash-based digital audio player, made by Samsung Electronics. The interface for Z5(F), which implements transparency effects, was designed by Paul Mercer's Iventor software design company. Paul Mercer previously founded Pixo, the creator of the iPod's operating system. The Z5F has some features, such as an FM radio and a dictaphone, not provided on the Z5.

To celebrate the sale of one million Z5Fs, Samsung auctioned 10 gold-plated Z5Fs in Korea. The player has the re-designed YEPP logo. [16]

According to a firmware release schedule on the official YEPP website, Z5(F) should have received a text-file reader on 30 December 2006. [17] The firmware for a text reader was instead released in September 2007 (version 2.51).

The player was expected to support video playback, but this feature was not included in the official release, pending further testing. The feature was expected to be implemented with a later firmware release. [18]

YH-999 also known as YEPP Portable Media Center

This player had a 3.5″ screen and with the Portable Media Center interface. [19]

YP-D1

This flash-memory Audio player has a maximum of 2 GB storage. It supports WMA, MP3 and Ogg Vorbis. It can play back videos on its 1.8″ TFT-LCD and features a 2-megapixel camera with flash. It can display text files and has USB hosting functions. It is almost exactly the same as the Samsung yp-t8, except it has a camera instead of the motion sensing games. Otherwise, it is the same.

YP-910

This player has a monochrome screen and was originally manufactured for Napster, bearing both the Napster and the Samsung logos. The YP-910 weighs 6 ounces and measures about 4.25″ by 2.5″ by 0.75″—a "shirt pocket" form, like most PDAs. The player controls limit the user to only simple actions.

It provides 20 GB hard-disk space and can play MP3, WMA, and WMA-DRM. However, audio quality was reported to be mediocre[ citation needed ]. It can record from the internal FM radio or from line-in, and has a built-in FM modulator. Playback time using the internal lithium-polymer battery is up to 10 hours, but may be decreased by transmitter use, playback volume and audio files with high bit rates.

For transferring files to the player, a special version of the Napster 2.0 software that contains the device drivers has to be installed. After that, it is supposedly possible to maintain its content either via Napster or Windows Media Player. The unit was tied into Napster's DRM, which made it impossible to re-upload purchased files to another PC. Downloading more than 4,000 tracks to the device can destroy its internal library, so that its disk space cannot be used properly in most cases[ citation needed ].

YP-55

Originally released in 2003, the YP-55 is a flash-memory based player featuring a rotating top which operates the Fast-Forward/Rewind functions and prevents accidental usage. It was available with built-in memory sizes of 128 MB (YP-55H), 192 MB (YP-55I – sold only in Canada), 256 MB (YP-55V) and 512 MB (YP-55X). It contains a recorder for voice, radio or line-in.

The firmware is upgradeable, and can also be user modified with various programs to change things such as the button mapping and graphics. The latest firmware (version 7.300) allows for many new features, including play lists and the ability to remember its place in four different files at once. [20] The latter feature makes it more suitable for audio books, as it makes searching for where one left off unnecessary. The original YP-55 models came with a gray cloth case, later models used a plastic case which allows access to all the controls without opening it.

YP-60

Announced in 2004, this was one of the first sports-oriented players released by Samsung. The player is contained in a black and orange rubberized plastic housing. Sports features such as, heart-rate monitor, calorie counter, and stop watch are included on this player. In-box accessories include: a 2.5 mm adapter, sweat-proof ear phones and an arm band. It also utilizes a non-standard 2.5 mm headphone jack, line-in encoding, and FM recordings. It was released in two capacities: 128 MB (YP-60) and 256 MB (YP-60V).

Mylo, standing for "My Life Online", is a pocket-sized handheld device created and marketed by Sony for instant messaging and other Internet-based communications like browsing Internet web sites using the Opera web browser, and playback and sharing of media files. Debuting in 2006, Mylo had a screen which slid up to reveal a QWERTY keyboard. Using Wi-Fi instead of cellular networks — reducing connectivity costs by avoiding the necessity of using GSM, CDMA or 3G cellular networks which would usually be used for devices of this size and functionality — the Mylo was targeted to the 18–24 age group. A revised model was released in 2008.
