Review Samsung YP-Q3 8 GB

Now describe this Samsung mp3 player which I bought a few days ago. The device is able to read various types of audio files: MP3, WMA, AAC, FLAC, Ogg, and video files: DivX, MPEG4, WMV, H.264.
It also features FM radio with RDS, photo viewer and voice recorder.
The model I bought has 8 GB of memory, is black with silver parts, but there is also white with red parts.
On the bottom of the connector are to connect USB Min the PC and the connector for charging and for headphones.
The box - clear plastic - includes the reader, headphones (unfortunately a little 'uncomfortable), the USB cable and a quick user manual.
When you first connect to the PC will be automatically installed drivers (just let them try automatically to Windows) that allow you to use the reader like a USB stick. Also on the player's memory is stored the software "Kies", a media player that enables you to rip CDs or convert video files into formats compatible with the reader.
The use of the player is very simple and all commands through the buttons on the front of the reader, as well as the audio quality is very good. Unfortunately the headphones that were included in the package are, at least for me, very uncomfortable but you can still use those you prefer.
