Digital camera reviews of Samsung T10 4 GB Slim Portable Media Player with Bluetooth (Black)Digital camera Review: T10 6 month review Summary: 3 StarsUntil recently I have been very happy with my T10, even with fat fingers the interface functions adequately. The screen is clear and sharp (House episodes viewed), the sound quality is fine but I really think the volume is inadequate. I know that there are issues here but it is only just about acceptable when I plug it into the car radio and on my hifi I have to rack up the volume level to what would be deafening levels,(woe betide me if I forget to adjust them to normal levels and switch to CD!!!) By comparison my daughter's ipod plays perfectly in the car without any audio augmentation
Don't bother with all the fancy sound effects they are just a waste of time. I have the 4G version by the way. A2DP works fine with my Bluetooth headphones, what a relief to not to untangle wires all the time. Battery life is excellent and charging is simple and fast.
The big problem for me however has been synchronization. Now you'd probably think that would be simple to do but you don't know Samsung. The Samsung Media player (version 5) that came with the T10 was OK but rather old fashioned and clunky. Although the synch was rapid, uploading podcasts (Datacasts for Samsung) was ridiculously complicated so at the beginning I just copied them into music. After one or two updates they improved on this. When the Samsung Player was replaced by emodio however that's when you realize that the player is badly let down by the support offered. I've only had problems since the switch, so much so that since the last (failed) upgrade my T10 is no longer recognized by EmoDio, in Windows Media Player it bugs on first reading of the files. The EmoDio site moreover is an absolute joke and I'm amazed that samsung gave their OK on something so inadequate.
I cannot play anything from the T10 in Jet or in RealPlayer either
Reinstalling the old Samsung Media player changes nothing. So all I can do now is use it as an extra drive and drag and drop songs into it. I suppose it makes you realize how difficult it is to match hardware and software these days. (BTW I gave up on Apple a long time ago so I won't be going there again)
So all in all I'm left more than a little dissatisfied and annoyed that an otherwise excellent product fails to please more.
