    The Good: The Samsung S3 Slim MP3 player offers a sleek and stylish design and a handful of desirable features, such as OGG support, a folder navigation option, and a nine-band user EQ. It's also a good value and offers great sound quality.

    The Bad: Compared with other Samsung players, the S3 is anemic in the features department, and the touch-sensitive controls are not for everyone. Audio battery life is below average.

    The Bottom Line: The Samsung S3 Slim MP3 player is a solid option for budget-minded users with an eye for design and an ear for audio.
