Samsung's MCD-MP65 Digital Audio
Player
As my first assignment, I was asked to review one of Samsung's "CD Yepp" series
digital audio players, the MCD-MP65. It was the remoteless version of the
MCD-MP67; we received it six months before its official launch, so it wasn't
the final product. As I took its box in my hands, I noticed that it featured
MP3-CD/CD-R/RW Playback. Therefore, I was expecting a lot out of this next
generation portable device: it gives you the ability to carry over 10 hours
of music on a single CD!

The
Beginning
Another
element that I quickly noticed about the MCD-MP65 was the Extended Battery
Pack. It's a great accessory that gave the MCD-MP65 an extra 16 hours (8 hours
when ESP is On) of playback by using 2 AA batteries to help the digital audio
player's standard 2 AAA batteries (...hey, AAA batteries aren't the most powerful
of them all). This was a very good call by Samsung because those AAA batteries
only lasted for 6 hours (3 when ESP is On). On top of that, there was yet
another very convenient feature that the MCD-MP65 possessed; it was its Large
LCD Display. It happened to be very useful when I was searching for titles
in MP3-CD Playback (when you have more then a hundred files on a single CD,
things can get a little confusing if you have a poor display). These were
my favourite external features, but this member of the CD Yepp's bundle also
included earphones with volume control, an AC adapter, two instructions manuals
(one in English and one in French), a warranty card, and a Carry Case which
can be used to protect your unit or even as storage for your CDs.
