:: Cultural president, Seo Taiji, comes back with an MP3.

Seo Taiji, the cultural president who led popular culture in the 1990s, usually stays at home. However, this year he is releasing a limited edition 15^th anniversary album with numbers from a to 15,000, and has even reached out to multimedia.

Seo Taiji meets MP3! What is the Value of that?

Samsung Electronics is releasing a ‘P2 Seo Taiji Special Edition’ MP3. This is a special version of the recent P2, and has its own serial number from 1 to 10,000 engraved on the MP3, and Seo Taiji owns number 1.

Seo Taiji traces in the P2

The first MP3 player with a 16:9 wide screen, the P2, shines even brighter because of Seo Taiji.

14 Seo Taiji songs, such as ‘07 Come Back Home(remix), `07 Class room Idea (remix), Heffy End, Take Five, Take One, I Know (Club Mix), It’s Up to Me, To you, Robot, It’s Ultraman, Internet War, Must Win, Hayeoga(TV EDIT) , and You in my Fantasy have been selected and included as basic sound sources in the MP3, and 6 music videos and unrevealed videos such as I Know and Come Back Home are included in the videos menu.

That is not all

The picture menu, where you can save image files, includes Seo Taiji album pictures and caricatures. Also, the font menu provides a Seo Taiji font, and lastly, the back of the P2 has a Seo Taiji autograph to add ownership value to the product.

Some people worry that this is high class marketing using Seo Taiji, but I think people should focus on Seo Taiji’s choice of harmony with MP3 and value.

Stylish Design and Touch Sensor

Excluding the left and right rounded parts, the basic design of the P2 Seo Taiji Special Edition is a lot like the YP-T10. This product is 2mm thicker than the YP-T10, which was 7.9mm, at 9.9mm. The YP-T10 applied a touch pad below its LCD screen, but the P2’s 3 inch large screen LCD includes a touch pad, so it is closer to a PMP design than an MP3 player.

Touch pads, which are already widely used for cell phones and PMPs, have more precise touch sensing than in the beginning, and errors have reduced. This is not exception for MP3 players, either.

The various designs of touch pads have also been applied to the P2 Seo Taiji Special Edition. It has a 3 inch wide LCD, which is on the large wide for an MP3 player, and consists of touch buttons for everything other than hold, power on/off and volume control. It also coats the surface with high glossy coating used on the YP-K3 or YP-T10, for a sophisticated combination.

The UI changes and changes.

The UI of the Ps Seo Taiji Special Edition is divided into 3 – matrix, my skin and cosmos.

The matrix UI is a style that is viewed at one glance. The characteristic of the picture icon here is that it applies a Seo Taiji caricature. The my skin UI can change images, and the cosmos UI can zoom only selected menus, and they are all clear and easy to use.

Too Many P2 Seo Taiji Special Edition Functions to Just Listen to Music

The P2 Seo Taiji Special Edition, which supports MP3, WMA and OGG music files, has too many functions to use just for playing music. As mentioned above, the P2 Seo Taiji Special Edition 3 inch LCD has a wide standard ratio of 16:9 that is appropriate for watching videos, so the video function shines. It supports WMV9 and SVI formats, and has low reflective rates and high penetration rates, and is a touch screen, so has good comfortable resolution for watching videos.

It also provides various multimedia functions such as Pictures, where you can save mage files, FM radio, file viewer and Bluetooth.

1+3 Bluetooth

The Bluetooth function is especially enhanced from the existing version, so 3 Bluetooth headsets can be connected at once. They can be connected after searching for device, without having to enter a pin code, and a maximum of 3 people can share music with the device. One bad point is that Bluetooth headsets can be used when playing videos, but FM radio does not support Bluetooth mode.
