The "Samsung Napster YP-910 Player," includes a 20G-byte hard-disk drive, according to the user manual published by the FCC. The capacity is enough space to store around 5,000 average length MP3 files. That puts it on par storage-wise with Toshiba Corp.'s recently announced Gigabeat MJ200 player and Apple Inc.'s new mid-range iPod and half that of Apple's high-end 40G byte iPod.

It measures 108 millimeters by 70 millimeters by 20 millimeters, which is roughly in-line with competing players albeit a little on the thick side, but beats both Toshiba and Apple by a long way when it comes to weight. The player weighs 60 grams, according to the preliminary specifications. If they are correct that makes it less than half the weight of Toshiba's new player and a third the weight of the 40G byte iPod.

Other features include support for both MP3 and Windows Media Audio (WMA) files, a USB (Universal Serial Bus) port, and FM radio and an FM transmitter that means you can listen to songs wirelessly through an FM radio. It is this latter feature for which FCC regulatory approval was necessary.

It also includes a rechargable battery that provides enough power for up to 10 hours use, and a recording function that can be used to record from the built-in FM radio or an external device, such as a CD player, to an MP3 file, the manual said.
