I just bought my 3rd YP-Z5, this one being the 4GB. I bought one for my son (1GB), and one for my wife (2GB). The packaging is very classy and the feel of it in your hand is just as nice as the actual player. We have both colors silver and black and the scratch resistance is impecable! I am very impressed with the sound quality, even with the packaged headphones. Battery life is quite impressive, but will alter with your individual usage. I didn't see anyone from above report anything about the sound from inside your car. I bought an iRiver FM adapter for use in my car. The sound is very, very good. I haven't used my CD player since these purchases. Due to my age being older than most Mp3 users, the simplicity, ease, and vibrance of this player are quite pleasing.
This player is very simple, to the point, has great looks, and best of all has some class mixed with rebelion.
I have iPod experience as well. I bought a 40GB iPod...very clunky, confusing, HEAVY!! as hell, scratches as soon as you touch it, sound in vehicle was poor, and most importantly...if you are a pirate with yer music, good luck getting it to play, at least easily...The older you get, the easier you want things to be.
I've notice peoples comments on the price of this device...You can go to BestBuy and pick up the 4GB for $179.00YP-Z5 and the neoprene jackets/armbands for $26.00.
The X-Fi3 keeps with the company's commitment to audio fidelity, thanks to the apt-X codec, which supposedly offers audio quality similar to a wired connection when streaming. On that front, the device also handles FLAC files.
