Samsung YP-P3 MP3 Player
May 4th, 2009 | By DavidThe P3 can be used with MTP or UMS USB connections.
The P3 does not come with an installation disc. The installation file however, is located within its internal storage upon connecting with your computer.
The installation is a straight forward process run by InstallShield Wizard.
The EmoDio software replaced the Samsung Media Studio software last year, and adds many improvements such as customized sound quality and text-to-speech. Similar to Apple’s iTunes program, from here you can make playlists, play music, and manage the files on the P3. Also, EmoDio checks for firmware updates every time you connect a Samsung media player.
Unlike Apple, Samsung promotes the use of their media players as a plug and play device. You can freely transfer files and music into the P3 without having to install the software if you choose, something that makes life much simpler.
Now that the P3 is setup, let’s take a look at the interface.
where did you get the p3 at?
What country are you in? Our particular P3 was provided to us by Samsung Canada. I haven’t seen it at any retailers yet though….
Oh… if this had a nice camera, Wi-fi, and SIM card support so we can use it as a Mobile
IT WOULD BE THE BEST DEVICE ON EARTH
i just cant get this anywhere in South Asia
@ hunting for the best Device:
Well to tell you the truth, I live in Taiwan and it is a small island. There are some stores that is selling it right now and it cost around $230 CAD ish. Still, $174 is still a great price.
I have the YP-P2 and i will buy this one for €89 throught REDCOON. Is amazing the YP-P2, a really good deice. Everything works with the decent firmware. Funny is, here in Portugal is not so very known and no such popularity as ipod and Creative
I want to buy that device and I’m in Canada! Can anybody tell me where I can buy this device..? So sad….
Can audio BOOKS be downloaded to this from sites such as http://www.netlibrary.com ?
If yes, can the audiobooks be bookmarked?
Can storage be increased from 8GB?
Audiobooks work so long as it’s in a .txt file. And the storage cannot be increased, but the P3 is manufactured in 8gb, 16gb, and 32gb.
So (excuse my being a bit dense on this?), my library says:
“eAudiobooksare available in one of two formats:
1. MP3 file format may be used on any supported player including iPod.
2. WMA format may only be used on Windows-based portable devices.”
And from their website I also see the following Samsung units are supported:
K3, S3, S5, T10, T7J, U5, YP-K3, Z5
Can you deduce from this information whether or not I will be able download books from my library via eAudiobooks to the Samsung YP-P3, whether or not I can stop listening and restart listening from that same location?
Thanks!
So sorry I misunderstood you. I read eBooks when you wrote AudioBooks. Yes, audiobooks will work perfectly fine with the P3 because it supports most audio formats including .mp3 and .wma. And yes, you can play/pause when you listen to books, and even if you turn off the player, it will resume to where you left off. If you have any other questions, feel free to ask.
I found your blog on google and read a few of your other posts. I just added you to my Google News Reader. Keep up the good work Look forward to reading more from you in the future.
Damned if I can get the thing to talk to any of my computers. Driving me nuts.
I have the Samsung yp- P2Jby MP3 touch screen. can you tell me where I can find a instruction book on how to download audio books from my computer to the MP3 player, it will have to be a step by step simple (not computer talk) instruction. I am very bad on computers could be I’m 71 yrs young and have not mastered the computer yet…
Thanks
