RIDGEFIELD PARK, N.J., May 6 /PRNewswire/ -- Samsung Electronics America, Inc., an award-winning innovator in the digital audio arena, expands its YEPP Digital Audio Player line with the introduction of the world's smallest digital audio players, the YP-T5H and the YP-T5V. The new models are the latest in Samsung's series of advanced products intended for the music lover who wants the ultimate in style and portability.
"Samsung has built a strong reputation as a leader in portable digital audio, and these new YEPP models bolster that standing," says Mark Farish, Marketing Manager, Samsung Electronics America. "Both of these flash-memory players are designed for consumers who want an easy way to organize and manage their digital music collections in a small, stylish package that delivers higher quality audio playback typically lost with compressed audio files. The ability to double as a multi-file storage device is an added benefit for those who wish to take presentations, homework or even images with them in addition to their music."
Available in two sizes (128 MB for the YP-T5H and 256 MB for the YP-T5V) these models offer multi-format compatibility for MP3, WMA, WAV and upgradeable firmware files with advanced SRS WOW sound technology for higher quality playback, a built-in FM tuner, and voice recording for capturing lectures or your next great idea wherever you happen to be.

Housed in a tiny 23 x 54 x 23 mm case and weighing only 24g (0.85oz, without battery), both models also double as removable storage devices that offer fast file transfer with a direct USB adapter. One AAA battery will provide up to 15 hours of playback and both models come with a necklace enabling the unit to be worn around the neck for added accessibility and convenience.
