Samsung MP3 Players

Samsung has produced a number of good quality players over the years. While they don't compare to iPods in market share, a number are definitely worthwhile as alternatives to the ubiquitous 'Pod. One of the newest ones, the K5, demonstrates Samsung's continued innovation -- it includes speakers and an FM radio, both of which the iPod lacks. Keep in mind, however, that if you're a Mac user you may have some trouble, as the Samsung line doesn't play nicely with iTunes.

For more general information on buying a personal music device, please see the buying guide on MP3 Players.
