This lightweight MP3 Player has a heavy portfolio including an innovative touch screen, FM radio receiver, and built-in speakers. The K5 enables you to share your music experience with others. A mini boom box, this revolutionary MP3 player defies engineering forces of nature by squeezing a high-end music player complete with a slide-out speaker into a slim compact form.
The K5 is on the large side for a flash player it measures 3.9 by 1.9 by 0.7 inches and weighs a relatively hefty 3.8 ounces but there’s a good reason for this. If you flip the player on its side and push up the bottom edge, a built-in speaker slides out. What’s great about this is that the speaker is designed in such a way that it angles itself up, not only propping the face of the player at an ideal viewing angle, but pointing the speakers up and forward so as to direct the sound at the listener.

Review By Trustedreviews
The K5 looks pretty sleek, with what appears to be an all black fascia when it’s not turned on. Once you feed it some juice though a bright OLED screen bursts into life and you notice a full array of touch sensitive buttons. Control is handled by four arrow buttons, with an OK type button at the centre – pretty standard fare. You also get a menu button and two back buttons – more on that later. I’m not the biggest fan of touch sensitive buttons, but I can’t complain too much about the controls on the K5. You definitely need to flick the “hold” switch when you put the device in your pocket though, unless you want the volume randomly increasing or the track jumping.

With DNSe, Samsung’s proprietary Digital Natural Sound engine technology, the K5 offers virtual surround sound. This guarantees great volume, no distortion, and a more natural and accurate higher quality sound, even with just two small speakers. In addition, 5 modes of Preset EQ allow you to customize the sound experience to suit the style of music. These advanced music functions allow you to enjoy the same acoustic wow that you would hear from your home stereo.

The K5’s built-in stereo speakers disappear behind the unit when not in use, yet when needed effortlessly slide out to create a free-standing mini-stereo system. Despite being a fraction of the size of the smallest stereo system, the Samsung YP-K5’s slide-out speaker design delivers the same great sound - no distortion, great volume, and a defined deep bass.

The K5 comes with a rather decent pair of rubber-tipped earbuds, a USB cable, and a software disc. The last includes Samsung’s Media Studio 5, but it’s not necessary to use this to transfer music to the player. The K5 is compatible with various jukeboxes and services, including Windows Media Player 10 (which is one of the system requirements for the player), Rhapsody, and Napster. Supported audio formats are MP3 and WMA, including DRM-10 for use with to-go services.

With the 4GB model the K5 from Samsung can store up to 1000 songs downloaded from the PlaysForSure online store, or up to 25,000 jpg images to view. Songs transfer by interfacing with your PC via a USB connection. Having an MP3 player is nice, but I have to say that even though this music player is slightly on the bulky side compared to some of the new similar devices, it is really nice to be able to easily share your tunes with this amount of quality and still have a it all in a relatively small package.
