Samsung T9 Demonstrated

Video Title :	Samsung T9 Demonstrated
Description :	A demonstration of what can be done with a Samsung YP-T9, BTW sounds is a bit of in this video, not in the videos that get uploaded to player, the player is perfect (for it's size and content quality, it's amazing). I can stick 100 videos, at 3 megs per minute, 3 minutes per video, in about 1 gig of space, and the other gig I could use to store about 200-300 mp3 or wma/drm files.. I have a subscription to Rhapsody Online (which kicks iTunes butt), I get a 15 dollar subscription, per month (compare that to XM subscriptions), I can download any song I want (few exceptions, like Led Zepplin, Eagles or Tracy Chapman, Beatles) I have The Who, Pink Floyd, Peter Gabriel, Kate Bush, Weezer, TMBG, Coldplay, U2, Nora Jones, It really makes iTunes look weak once you consider you don't have to buy anything). And Rhapsody Online has everything arranged like VanGogh's musuem, everyone contemporary to the musician is linked to muscians profile, everyone influenced by musician, everyone the musician is influenced by, you can listen to playlists other people made that included the musician, you can listen by genre, etc.. Then download the files to the YP-T9 and listen to them anywhere..You have to re-sync the music every month, sometimes necessary to re-download the tunes but I think that is a bug with Rhapsody Online and Microsoft's PlayForSure format. But the YP-T9 is only like my third music player. I have the Sans M230 (which is the best sansa, IMHO), and before that a el cheapo Mach Trio from Tiger Direct with a 1 gig SD card (that I still use for Podcasts). I got the YP-T9 originally to play Audio Books, but it doesn't do too well with audio books.. I still have yet to find a really good audio book player.. But for Music Videos, it's the best I've experienced so far, and it feels like smooth rock, you could probably skip it pretty far across a lake (if you really don't like it that much), but it feels solid.. The Battery lasts up to 30 hours.. It charges with USB. The Voice recorder handles 32Kbps, 64Kbps, 96Kbps, 128Kbps mp3 RECORDING!, from FM radio or from Mic. Only qualm I have about that is there is no external input. The games are basically flash-based games. The whole interface is flash based to the player.. The FM radio has presets, as well as seek capability.. No AM, just FM. When play either videos or music, you can fast forward and rewind, which jumps faster the longer you hold the button down. Videos can be any length, I just like music videos. There is some kind of bookmarking feature for videos that I don't understand, but I suppose you could set a bookmark in a video to jump to. There is playlist support in the audio player, but haven't use it.. There is a text file viewer (email? on the go).. And a photo viewer.. If the device ever stalls there is a button combination (rec + menu) that will reset the player.. There are firmware upgrades, and the Samsung upgrade manager will notify you when they are available. I got one just last week.. It comes with a sync manager for the player, which is a little confusing, until you understand the interface. To convert videos you collect the videos into a bin (drag & drop), then you select all videos, and right-click on "transfer files to player", it then handles the transfer by attempting to encode the videos into it's own format.. It was through this process, that I realized that YT stores videos in mono.. But the player will play videos with stereo.. The audio player has a 3D sound mode that keeps music from sounding like a stereo in a small room, muffled and clausterphobic. You can for instance get the sound resonance of a club or hall.. It's just surround sound effects, not reverb, but it is effective.. The Equalizer is programmable, and has presets too. There as many power off features as there is for your computer, plus a sleep timer. And for music there is several "visualizer" modes, though really just flash animations.. But for me, what has made it "worth the money", is the quality of the video playback.. The Rhapsody music has also made it worth it.. To be able to see the album of the artist you are listening to.. I had a Sansa E250 for a day from Best Buy, and it failed on me, the YP-T9 was the player I was originally planning to buy but a Best Buy clerk encouraged me to get the Sansa.. The Sansa totally sucked, I can't remember why exactly, but if you want you can read about it in the November Blog ( http://tinyurl.com/ym2n35 ; see entry "(11/18/06 11:04 AM)" ) Note check out my blog at http://www.bl3nder.com/ for more information, I determined that "m4v" videos can be trasnfered to the T9, just rename "m4v" to "mp4". Also no word on how to transfer flash files to the player (even though Samsung implies that one can transfer them). Someone had this question: how do you put videos into the mp3...i have windows vista and it dosent let me install the program that came with the mp3 so i dont know how to put videos into my Yp t9... You are out of luck unless you can get the software working on Vista, Samsung should know about this.. But hopefully someone will figure out how to create samsung video files as they are only AVI files.. ---- You need samsung studio to convert video files and transfer them to the T9.. Examples of video files samsung studio accepts: AVI, WMV, MPG . For those looking to convert videos to work on their T9's.. I suggest getting a copy of "AVS Video Converter" (it has, I found out, aspect correction, batch video processing, and supports all the video formats, including quicktime formats), which is about 25 dollars, and look around "dvdshrink", it's a freeware application that can be used to rip dvd's to files.. You can use AVS Video Converter to convert these DVD files to AVI, WMV or MPG.. There is also ways to rip video content from YouTube, there are videos all over youtube outlining how to do this.. But AVS Video Converter doesn't convert FLV files, which is what format the YouTube videos are in.. You have to find a FLV video converter, but if you can get it into a WMV format, for instance, you can drop it directly into Samsung Media Studio without using AVS Video Converter.. If you are good with Firefox tabs, and have a reasonably fast computer, like a Pentium D, you can rip tens of youtube videos at a time..

Dude, can you please tell me how to delete all my files from the player? I don't have the same computer that I uploaded it on, otherwise it wouldn't be a problem. I know somehow there is a 2 button reset thing, but I can't remember how to do it. Help please. Oh, and how did you get the album art on there? I didn't get any of that. Do you think I will be able to do that with the new windows media from vista?

Rec + Menu resets.. But to clear out all the files, format the player like it was a drive. It works on both the T9 and T10 this way. But you need a windows machine to format it. I'm hoping to find the Ubuntu linux equivalent. The album art is embedded in the header of the mp3 files. The ID3v2 header has the ability to embed album art. There are tools to add album art to an mp3, but Amazon mp3 download has album art for all their music, rhapsody does it for wma-drm files, so do some podcasts.

HI, Can u puh-lease tell me how to put videos from youtube into my samsung T9? Thanks! I've been trying for like, i dunno, A MILLION DAYS?!

Dude, why don't you just get a t10 now? There only like $100 dollars.

Yeah I just did a week ago.. However the T10's are not much better than the T9 on some other points: - buttons are hard to press (over/under sensitive, work better with small fingers). - can't be operated from a pocket. - no flash games (t9 with korean firmware can potentially play custom designed flash games and animations). - has no support for video or audio bookmarking, so if you are going to play audio books the T9 is way better.. Someone mentioned a 3.0 firmware, maybe it fixes this.

But some companies like Casio are notorious for doing what Samsung did here, to make each product release with differing features, to keep the products from competing with the others markets so that you are encouraged to get all the products.. There are many reasons to do this, but if you could hack the firmware and add features, the only features that would stand out as problems is the OLED touch surface.. It's cute, but then it loses its value once you realize how touchy it is..

IF you failed to complete a firmware upgrade on the Samsung, that would kill it, just as any player would if you stopped in the middle of a firmware upgrade, but I can't imagine what you mean by "it died"..

No dude, i got the firmware and everythin installed before, then it just died, wouldnt turn on no matter what. It wasnt the battery,, and i never droppped it, ect. I thought it was an isolated incident, but the second one i got had the same problem. I wasnt going to buy an ipod (becuase ipods suck) so i got the sansa. The videos are ok for me, it came with a little converter software, and its been working fine for over a year. Thanks though :)

If you are planning to put video on that sansa, make sure it is one of the ones that support MPEG4, I got an Sansa e250 some years back, about the time I got the T9, and the E250 failed on me. It also stored video in MJPEG format, and later was learned that one couldn't store more than 15 minutes per video. But I just did a search, and saw that Sansa wised up since I last looked at them. BTW, static electricity can render any digital electronics useless, I blew out a mobo with static once.

I think what screwed it up is I transfered a incompatible file to the player to see if it would play native files, and it ruined the firmware.. That's just weak.. I did that with a player I got from China a couple of years back. However the Samsung is smart enough that it can tell if your file is compatible or not and doesn't seem to be as flaky. What I imagine happens on some players is when you throw them a curve ball they can overwrite their firmware, turning the player into a hockey puck.
