I can stick 100 videos, at 3 megs per minute, 3 minutes per video, in about 1 gig of space, and the other gig I could use to store about 200-300 mp3 or wma/drm files..
I have a subscription to Rhapsody Online (which kicks iTunes butt), I get a 15 dollar subscription, per month (compare that to XM subscriptions), I can download any song I want (few exceptions, like Led Zepplin, Eagles or Tracy Chapman, Beatles) I have The Who, Pink Floyd, Peter Gabriel, Kate Bush, Weezer, TMBG, Coldplay, U2, Nora Jones, It really makes iTunes look weak once you consider you don't have to buy anything). And Rhapsody Online has everything arranged like VanGogh's musuem, everyone contemporary to the musician is linked to muscians profile, everyone influenced by musician, everyone the musician is influenced by, you can listen to playlists other people made that included the musician, you can listen by genre, etc.. Then download the files to the YP-T9 and listen to them anywhere..You have to re-sync the music every month, sometimes necessary to re-download the tunes but I think that is a bug with Rhapsody Online and Microsoft's PlayForSure format.
But the YP-T9 is only like my third music player. I have the Sans M230 (which is the best sansa, IMHO), and before that a el cheapo Mach Trio from Tiger Direct with a 1 gig SD card (that I still use for Podcasts).
I got the YP-T9 originally to play Audio Books, but it doesn't do too well with audio books.. I still have yet to find a really good audio book player.. But for Music Videos, it's the best I've experienced so far, and it feels like smooth rock, you could probably skip it pretty far across a lake (if you really don't like it that much), but it feels solid.. The Battery lasts up to 30 hours.. It charges with USB. The Voice recorder handles 32Kbps, 64Kbps, 96Kbps, 128Kbps mp3 RECORDING!, from FM radio or from Mic. Only qualm I have about that is there is no external input.
The games are basically flash-based games. The whole interface is flash based to the player.. The FM radio has presets, as well as seek capability.. No AM, just FM.
When play either videos or music, you can fast forward and rewind, which jumps faster the longer you hold the button down.
Videos can be any length, I just like music videos. There is some kind of bookmarking feature for videos that I don't understand, but I suppose you could set a bookmark in a video to jump to.
There is playlist support in the audio player, but haven't use it..
There is a text file viewer (email? on the go)..
And a photo viewer..
If the device ever stalls there is a button combination (rec + menu) that will reset the player.. There are firmware upgrades, and the Samsung upgrade manager will notify you when they are available. I got one just last week..
It comes with a sync manager for the player, which is a little confusing, until you understand the interface. To convert videos you collect the videos into a bin (drag & drop), then you select all videos, and right-click on "transfer files to player", it then handles the transfer by attempting to encode the videos into it's own format..
It was through this process, that I realized that YT stores videos in mono.. But the player will play videos with stereo..
The audio player has a 3D sound mode that keeps music from sounding like a stereo in a small room, muffled and clausterphobic. You can for instance get the sound resonance of a club or hall.. It's just surround sound effects, not reverb, but it is effective.. The Equalizer is programmable, and has presets too.
There as many power off features as there is for your computer, plus a sleep timer.
And for music there is several "visualizer" modes, though really just flash animations..
But for me, what has made it "worth the money", is the quality of the video playback.. The Rhapsody music has also made it worth it.. To be able to see the album of the artist you are listening to..
I had a Sansa E250 for a day from Best Buy, and it failed on me, the YP-T9 was the player I was originally planning to buy but a Best Buy clerk encouraged me to get the Sansa.. The Sansa totally sucked, I can't remember why exactly, but if you want you can read about it in the November Blog ( http://tinyurl.com/ym2n35 ; see entry "(11/18/06 11:04 AM)" )
Note check out my blog at http://www.bl3nder.com/ for more information, I determined that "m4v" videos can be trasnfered to the T9, just rename "m4v" to "mp4". Also no word on how to transfer flash files to the player (even though Samsung implies that one can transfer them).
