Yepp served as the digital audio player brand of Samsung Electronics until Samsung phased out most of its family brand names in February 2011. From that point forward, Samsung marketed their MP3 players simply under the "Samsung" name globally, eventually discontinuing all models by late 2013. The Yepp lineup featured a variety of devices utilizing both hard drive and flash memory technologies. The brand name is purportedly an acronym representing a "young, energetic, passionate person."

History

The Yepp brand debuted at the 1999 Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas, where Samsung introduced its initial MP3 player series: YP-E, YP-B, and YP-D. Until 2003, Samsung sold MP3 players worldwide under the Yepp label. Afterwards, the Yepp name was retained exclusively for the Korean market, while international models were branded simply as "Samsung." By 2011, Samsung discontinued the Yepp branding even within Korea. Despite its absence from European and American markets for over a decade, many users still refer to Samsung MP3 players as "Yepp."Template:Fix/category

By November 2013, Samsung had ceased production of most MP3 player models globally. The YP-W1 and YP-U7 remained available only in select regions. The Galaxy Player series was also withdrawn from most markets. In August 2013, Samsung released the YP-GI2 (Galaxy 070), the successor to the YP-GI1, but only within Korea. Concurrently, Samsung shut down all official websites and blogs dedicated to MP3 players both domestically and internationally.

By December 2016, Samsung had ended production of both their MP3 players and Android-based Galaxy Player devices worldwide. Although no formal announcement was issued regarding the cessation of MP3 player manufacturing, evidence suggests that production has indeed stopped.

Comparison of models

Samsung’s naming convention for its players has remained consistent over time. For instance, in a model like YP-P2JEB: the letter J signifies Janus DRM support (indicating MTP models; absence of this letter denotes UMS models), E represents 16 GB storage capacity (with other letters indicating different sizes: V for 256 MB; X for 512 MB; Z for 1 GB; Q for 2 GB; A for 4 GB; C for 8 GB; E for 16 GB; N for 32 GB), and B denotes Black color (W for White; P for Pink; S for Silver, etc.). Certain models include an R suffix to indicate RDS capability (e.g., YP-F2R) or an F to specify an FM tuner (e.g., YP-Z5F), although some devices with these features do not carry these suffixes.

Several Samsung MP3 player models—such as the YH-820/920/925 series, YP-R0, YP-R1, and YP-Z5—are either partially or fully compatible with the Rockbox open-source firmware.

Yepp R Series

Launched in 2009 with the YP-R0 and YP-R1 models, the R series was later expanded by the YP-R2 in 2011. It is important to note that the YP-R2 follows the YP-R1 as its successor; however, the YP-R1 does not directly succeed the YP-R0. This naming sequence by Samsung may cause some confusion.

YP-R0

YP-R1

Main article: Samsung YP-R1

YP-S2

The YP-S2 is a compact MP3 player without a display screen. Its design resembles a smooth pebble and features tactile buttons located underneath its body.

'YP-S3'

YP-S3

Main article: Samsung YP-S3 The S3 model features a rounded-edge design akin to the YP-T9 but incorporates a touchpad similar to that of the YP-T10. Unlike the YP-S5 model, video playback is limited exclusively to Samsung's proprietary .svi format.

YP-S5

This MP4 player is available in 2, 4, or 8 GB storage options and features an integrated slide-out stereo speaker. The S5 is compatible with MPEG4, JPEG, MP3, AAC, and WMA formats. It also includes Bluetooth functionality.

YP-Q1 Diamond

An updated variant of the T10 model, the YP-Q1 Diamond offers a 2.4-inch display but lacks Bluetooth connectivity.

YP-Q2

Equipped with a 2.4-inch screen featuring a 320×240 resolution, Samsung advertises up to 50 hours of battery life for this model; however, actual usage typically amounts to around 25 hours. The Q2 blends characteristics from both the Q1 and S3 models, combining the Q1’s display and features with the S3’s touchpad design. Its menu incorporates colored icons inspired by the Samsung P3 interface. Released in April 2009, the Q2 was available in 8 and 16 GB versions.

YP-P2

File:Samsung-P2.jpg

Samsung P2 (slide-show)

The P2 is a flash-based portable media player equipped with a touchscreen, Bluetooth 2.0, FM radio, e-book reader functionality, and video playback supporting MP4 and WMV formats.

Available in white, red, and black finishes, the YP-P2 comes in storage capacities of 2, 4, 8, and 16 GB.

Notable features include compatibility with Bluetooth stereo headphones supporting multiple simultaneous connections, as well as Bluetooth phone integration that allows users to handle calls using their stereo headphones alongside the player’s built-in microphone. The device also facilitates file transfers via Bluetooth. Additionally, its drag-and-drop interface simplifies music management by enabling straightforward media uploads.

YP-P3

Launched in May 2009 as the successor to the P2, the YP-P3 was offered in 8, 16, and 32 GB capacities. It introduced haptic feedback and customizable menus featuring multiple pages and widgets. Video playback capabilities expanded to include additional codecs such as DIVX within AVI containers alongside H.264 support. Firmware updates—most notably version 2.18 and later 2.22—enabled support for display resolutions up to 800×600.

Compared to its predecessor, the P3 boasts enhanced build quality with an aluminum back panel that resists scratches significantly better than the P2’s painted metal rear. Its glass screen is also highly scratch-resistant; testing demonstrated that even a knife could not damage it. However, some units have been reported to arrive defective, so caution is advised when purchasing this model.

Yepp U Series

A Yepp U series collection

The Yepp U series is a well-known lineup of USB stick-style MP3 players that began with the YP-U1 in 2005. The latest release in this series was the YP-U7 in 2012. All models share a compact USB key design featuring a 1-inch screen with a resolution of 128×64 pixels. They support playback of MP3, WMA, and OGG audio files, although codec compatibility varies among certain devices within the series.

YP-K3

File:Samsung yepp k3.jpg

The YP-K3

Serving as the follow-up to the YP-K5, the YP-K3 closely resembles its predecessor but omits built-in speakers and features a slimmer profile at just 0.28 inches thick. It is offered in capacities of 1 GB*, 2 GB, 4 GB, and 8 GB. Available in black, red, and lime colors, the device retains the same 1.8-inch full-color OLED LCD screen with blue backlighting and dot-style pixels as seen on the K5. Samsung specifies a battery life of up to 25 hours. The touch-sensitive pad enables navigation in all four directions to access every function of the player. Positioned at the bottom is a 24-pin connector, identical to the charging dock used for certain mobile phones. Audio output is provided through a standard 3.5 mm stereo headphone jack. Samsung’s Korean website offers firmware updates that enable USB Mass Storage (UMS) mode connectivity and add support for Ogg Vorbis audio files as well as text file viewing.

Samsung Korea markets this latest iteration of their audio player line as the K3 "COLOR," available in several color options (*the 1 GB model was specifically produced for Argos in the UK).

YP-K5

This flash memory MP3 player includes external speakers attached directly to the unit, touch-sensitive control buttons, an FM radio tuner, and an OLED display capable of showing JPEG images. It comes in memory sizes of 1 GB, 2 GB, and 4 GB and operates using MTP. The YP-K5 was succeeded in 2007 by the more compact YP-S5.

YP-T08

Released exclusively in China, the Samsung YP-T08 mirrors the design and features of the T10 model but boasts extended battery life and introduces a redesigned user interface that replaces the Sammy character.

YP-T10

Main article: Samsung T10

The Samsung T10 is a flash-based portable media player within the Yepp lineup (model YP-T10), manufactured and developed by Samsung Electronics. Offered in storage capacities of 2, 4, and 8 GB, this newest member of the T series replaces the T9’s control scheme with one inspired by the K3.

Equipped with Bluetooth connectivity, the T10 supports wireless headsets. Starting with firmware version 2.00, it gained functionality for exchanging files with other Bluetooth-enabled devices, including mobile phones—enabling users to use the T10 as a remote handset for calls. The latest firmware release (version 3.06) introduced ten additional themes (excluding Best Buy editions), enhanced Bluetooth capabilities, and added gaming features.

YP-T9

This flash memory MP3 player offers a broad range of features such as an FM radio, simple Flash games, text file viewing, video playback, image display, as well as recording via its built-in microphone or FM radio tuner. Compatible with WMA, OGG, and MP3 audio formats, it is available in 2, 4, and 8 GB variants. Although its size is comparable to that of the first-generation iPod nano, it boasts a larger display measuring 1.8 inches diagonally. The device’s firmware is based on a Unix-like operating system (VxWorks) and utilizes Flash technology for animations. The international version (non-US YP-T9B) was among the earliest digital audio players to include Bluetooth functionality.

Earlier versions experienced lengthy delays during file transfers using Samsung’s media studio software; this issue has been resolved with updated firmware (version 1.23 WA). Unlike several other Samsung digital audio players, the YP-T9 incorporates a proprietary processor designed by Samsung—the SA58700X (ARM 940T running at 200 MHz) coupled with an integrated audio codec.

Bluetooth support allows pairing with mobile phones to answer or initiate calls directly through the device. The audio player supports multiple bookmarks for easy navigation back to specific points within tracks. Additionally, playback speed can be adjusted without affecting pitch quality.

YP-T8

The Samsung YP-T8 is a type of portable digital media device that weighs slightly less than 2 ounces. It features an FM tuner with recording functionality, as well as the ability to record voice and radio broadcasts. Powered by an integrated lithium-ion battery, it offers up to 20 hours of continuous playback. This player delivers a 3D audio experience and holds the Microsoft PlaysForSure certification. Supported audio formats include MP3, WMA, WAV, Ogg Vorbis, and ASF. Additionally, it supports video playback and gaming functions. Videos must be converted to MPEG-4 format using the included software, which is compatible only with the Microsoft Windows platform. The device also allows users to store and view images in JPEG format and read text files in TXT format. A distinctive feature of the YP-T8 is its support for USB Hosting, a rarity among portable audio players.

This model is offered in three storage capacities: 512 MB, 1 GB, and 2 GB.

Samsung Z5 (slide-show)

The Z5(F) is a flash memory digital audio device developed by Samsung Electronics. Its user interface, featuring transparency effects, was created by Paul Mercer's design firm, Iventor. Mercer is also known for founding Pixo, the company behind the operating system used in the iPod. Compared to the Z5, the Z5F includes additional functionalities such as an FM radio and a voice recorder.

To mark the milestone of selling one million units, Samsung held an auction in Korea offering 10 gold-plated versions of the Z5F. This model also introduced a refreshed YEPP logo design.

Based on a firmware update timeline posted on the official YEPP site, the Z5(F) was slated to receive a text-file reading feature by 30 December 2006. However, this functionality was ultimately delivered in September 2007 with firmware version 2.51.

Although video playback support was anticipated for this player, it was not included in the initial release due to pending testing. Samsung planned to enable this feature through a subsequent firmware update.

YH-999 (YEPP Portable Media Center)

This device featured a 3.5-inch display and operated using the Portable Media Center interface.

YP-D1

The YP-D1 is a flash-based audio player offering up to 2 GB of storage capacity. It supports playback of WMA, MP3, and Ogg Vorbis formats. Video files can be viewed on its 1.8-inch TFT-LCD screen. The device is equipped with a 2-megapixel camera complete with flash and includes text file viewing capabilities along with USB host functionality. Its design closely resembles that of the Samsung YP-T8, differing primarily by including a camera instead of motion-sensing games.

YP-910

This model features a monochrome display and was originally produced for Napster, bearing branding from both Napster and Samsung. Weighing approximately 6 ounces and measuring roughly 4.25 by 2.5 by 0.75 inches, it fits comfortably into a shirt pocket, similar in size to many PDA devices. User controls are limited to basic functions.

The YP-910 provides a 20 GB hard drive and supports playback of MP3, WMA, and WMA-DRM files. However, its audio quality has been described as averageTemplate:Fix/category. It includes recording capabilities from its internal FM radio or line-in sources and features an integrated FM modulator. Battery life with the internal lithium-polymer battery can reach up to 10 hours but may be reduced depending on transmitter usage, volume levels, and high-bitrate audio files.

File transfers require installing a specialized version of Napster 2.0 software that contains necessary device drivers. Once set up, content management can be performed either through Napster or Windows Media Player. The device’s DRM restrictions tied it to Napster's system, preventing users from transferring purchased files back to another computer. Additionally, loading more than 4,000 tracks could corrupt the internal library, rendering much of the disk space unusableTemplate:Fix/category.

Launched in 2003, the YP-55 is a flash memory player distinguished by a rotating top control that manages Fast-Forward and Rewind functions while also serving as a safeguard against unintentional operation.

It includes recording capabilities for voice, radio, or line-in audio.

Its firmware can be updated and customized by users through various software tools to modify features such as button configurations and interface graphics. The most recent firmware release (version 7.300) introduces enhanced functionalities like playlist support and the ability to retain playback positions in up to four separate files simultaneously. This latter function improves usability for audiobooks by eliminating the need to manually locate where listening was paused. Early versions of the YP-55 were packaged with a gray fabric case, whereas later editions adopted a plastic case design that permits full access to all controls without opening the cover.
