 About portable mp3 players

A s the music technology has developed many folds, the outcome of CD players, recorders and
mp3 players has become a part of the day to day life of a person. Today, there are many
popular mp3 players in the market including pocket sized player that enables you to take

Mp3 players handle various file formats such as WAV, AAC or WMA.

embedded flash memory and the hard drive.

3. Flash memory is rugged and very compact because it has solid state memory and the player
cannot skip and therefore these are the best to for active use.

4. Embedded flash memory is built right into the player and is great fro one who is not interested to
buy and carry extra memory cards.

5. The last type of mp3 players store music on mini hard disk drive ( a smaller version of your hard
disk in your computer) and these can store music much more than the one using flash memory. But
these are bulky with large LCD screens and incorporate memory buffers that eliminate skipping.

6. The most expensive Mp3 player won’t work if it could not be connected to your PC. So before you
buy one, make sure that it is compatible to your computer connections and capabilities.

7. You need to have a new version of operating system in your PC, a USB port, supply flash card
reader and music management software for example jukebox.

what your player does and what all comes in the box. There are mp3 player that act as recorders and
are capable to capture audio and other voice snippets and other radio broadcasts with the help of an
inbuilt tuner. There is an LCD display and these come in stylish models in different color, shape and
size. Other accessories include ear headphones, rechargeable adapters etc.
 6 tips for buying the right mp3 player
Next to cell phones, MP3 players are the must
have, hot product everyone wants to own.
There are lots of great players available, but
how do you know which one is right for you?
Here are some tips that will help you make the
right decision before purchasing an MP3
player.
Tip #1 - Type of MP3 Player - There are
basically four types, flash, hard drive, micro
hard drive and CD based players.
Flash players are small, have a memory chip
built-in, and are more durable with no moving
parts, which mean they will not skip a beat
during sports activity or running. Because of
their compact size, space is limited to 4gigs or
less depending on the model you choose.
iRiver, SanDisk and Creative MuVo are three
popular brands of flash memory players.
Hard drive players are great for anyone who
wants to take their entire library worth of
music with them. Featuring high capacity
storage ranging anywhere from 4gigs to 60gigs
of hard drive space. With so much disk space
available, you can also store data files, pictures
and video, allowing for true portability.
Unlike flash players, hard drive players are
larger in size, cost more and have more
movable parts, which may not make it idea for
physical activity. Popular among the brands are
Apple Ipod, Creative Zen Vision, and Wolverine
MVP models.
Additionally you can opt for an micro hard
drive player. Micro MP3 players are a cross
between a flash and a regular hard drive
player. Max storage capacity is usually 8gigs,
have a miniature hard drive, and are light
weight and compact. These players still have
movable parts and some models include non-
removable re-chargeable batteries.
CD MP3 players are similar to CD players,
except they can read data CD's. Capacity is the
same size as a CD which is 650mbs, and the
music needs to be burned. They can also play
standard CD's.
Tip #2 - Digital Format - Not all players support
every music format but should play the
standard mp3, wma, wav formats. For
additional audio format, look for players that
support aac, asf and ogg. Not stopping at audio
format, you may also have a need to view
video formats such as mp4, mov, wav, avi, and
flash. To get the most out your purchase and
enjoy your favorite digital pictures, look for
models that support picture formats such as
jpeg, gif, tiff and png. Flash Players such as
Creative Zen, iRiver Clix, and Cowan iAudio
can display text documents.
Tip #3 - Battery Life - Next to storage capacity,
battery life is probably the most critical
consideration with MP3 players. Options
include standard batteries (AAA or AA type
batteries) or rechargeable batteries. With
standard batteries, you can easily replace them
when needed, while some rechargeable
models are non-removable lithium-ion
batteries, and typically last two to four years.
Since flash players need to be synced more
often, recharging occurs as you sync. For larger
players, battery life is usually longer but may
not always be the case. Make sure you inquiry
about battery life for those models.
Tip #4 - Features - With the capability to view
video and photos, bright color screens with
image display are usually a favorite among
buyers. Voice recording with built-in or
optional voice recorders, let you record
seminars or meetings. Want to listen to other
music, some models include an FM tuner for
listening and recording (mp3) radio stations.
Players such as Apple iPOD and Creative Zen
line allow for personal information
management options such as phone books and
calendars that can synchronize data between
desktop applications and the player.
Other features to consider: advanced playback
features such as shuffle, repeat, resume, and
playlist functions. Newer models now offer the
ability to create on the fly playlists, smart
playlist for grouping songs in shuffle mode and
automatic volume control that makes songs
play at the same volume. Don't forget about
music search and sort options to find songs.
Tip #5 - Connectivity Options. Most if not all
MP3 players support USB 2.0. Other
connectivity options you may want to consider
is Firewire, audio and line inputs. Some next-
generation models include Ethernet, Wi-Fi, or
Bluetooth capabilities.
Tip #6 - Functionality - Don't just consider bells
and whistles when looking for the right MP3 to
purchase. Functionality is usually what makes
MP3 players stand apart from each other. Test
drive each player and notice how easy or hard
it is to navigate the menus. Do the buttons feel
cheap or easy to press? Is the screen display
sufficient in bright light? Is it compact enough
for daily or sport activity? What accessories are
available for the player?
No matter what model you choose, an MP3
player will be a great addition to your
entertainment hardware!

Why pay hundreds of
dollars for a brand name MP3
player when a discount MP3
player will offer the same
functions and design without
the hefty price tag to go along
with it?
You don't have to
sacrifice quality for price. You
may not get the flaming orange
model that you like, but what
are you looking for? Creative
and fancy packaging or the
quality found inside? So, after
you've given up your desire for
that outrageous hot pink case,
and your realize that your color
options may be limited, then
what? Well, make sure that the
discount MP3 player you're
considering will play the
format that you want. Most
MP3 players now operate on a
flash drive system. Because of
the low cost per megabyte for
hard drive players, look for a
format that can accept up to
30GB. That will be more than
adequate for your needs, and
at a fraction of the cost of an
iPod.
a discount mp3 player ? You Bet !
Also make sure that
you check the battery life when
comparing different MP3
player models. You don't want
to be caught on a long flight
without enough juice in your
MP3 player to play your
favorite tunes or listen to your
special programming. Compare
discount MP3 player models
available either at local stores
or on the Internet. Search
online forum and discussion
boards to see what others are
saying about the discount
model you're considering.
Make sure that you're willing
to do without the bells and
whistles if you purchase a
discount MP3 player, but also
realize that basically, they're all
pretty much created equal.
Priced between $40 -
$60, most discount MP3 player
models come with as many of
the basics as the more
expensive models, including
headphones, driver, standard
carrying case and LCD screens.
Most also come with USB cable
and batteries and, of course,
the user's manual. Many
discount MP3 players also have
compatible accessories, such
as voice recorders and PCI
adapters. Sure, color selection
many be limited, but the
gadget's in your pocket most of
the time anyway, isn't it? And
it's not about looks, it's about
listening, and whatever brand
you choose should be based on
sound quality and nothing else.
Many discount MP3
players offer you just as much
music listening capability as
the other more popular, and
expensive brands, but if you're
not a brand-name junkie, then
you probably won't care. A
discount MP3 player doesn't
have to mean a cheap MP3
player. By doing your
homework and shopping
around, you can find a discount
MP3 player that will suit your
needs. And then, you too can
say that you came, you saw
and you conquered the world
of MP3 players.
 4 Tips For Choosing An Mp3 Player

Choosing an MP3 player used to be a much easier shopping decision than it is today. Just a
couple of years ago, only MP3 players played MP3 music. Nowadays, every man and his dog that
has a mobile phone, laptop or memory storage device can play MP3 music. Now that there are a
few more things to take into consideration, it is wise to think about a few issues before splashing out
some serious money (or trying to save some serious money).

Part I - Do you need an MP3 player?

Probably the most important question you need to ask yourself. Why do you want one? Does your
mobile phone already come with an MP3 player? What about your laptop? Why would you need
one if you've already got one? The only reason MP3 players exist in their own right is because a
mobile phone is a much better device for making phone calls on the go, and an MP3 player, well, it is
a much better device for playing MP3 music. When there is a comprise in function, there is a
comprise in function (i.e. quality and performance).

Part II - Do you need a good MP3 player?

Probably the second most important question you need to ask yourself. It does sound like a
rhetorical question. Of course you want a good MP3 player, but please provide a definition for
"good". Do you want something that looks good, plays good (well is probably a better word) or
sounds good (or all three perhaps). Remember that these days people will buy things for the image
(looks/sounds good), performance (plays good) and quality (lasts good). All three come at a cost
(though not necessarily equal in weighting), and usually you'll find that two out of three ain't bad.
Sometimes big name brands not only looks good (the Japanese designers are experts at this), sounds
good (for example, hey look, I've got a Sony -insert model here- !), but they might actually have good
performance or quality as well (Some say the iPod belongs in that category, but I don't want to start
another online forum about it). But most of the time, practical people start with performance or
quality, and just hope that it's something they can hide in their designer label clothing's MP3 pocket.

Part III - So what am I looking for?

Probably the last question you need to ask yourself. Weigh up between image (size, shape, style,
colour), performance (play time, memory, compatibility, gizmos, other functions) and quality
(useability, interface, design, battery life). Work out what's important, and Google or eBay will do
the rest for you (or if not, then your younger brother or sister will also suffice). There is always a
cheaper price for something, but there is always more hassle to get something that you want
exactly. If you've ever bid for an eBay item, then found something way cheaper than what you've
just bought, then you'll know what I mean. Look, if you're going to spend money (any amount of
money), then it's important to at least pick something that works long enough for you to at least
look the part, and one that you won't throw out the window because that's all it's good for.
Therefore, battery life, memory, interface and compatibility should not be taken lightly.
Part IV - So what do I do with it?

You've got yourself an MP3 player, so what's next. Well, you can use it as a fashion accessory, play
some MP3 music, or just leave it sitting in the closet until a better model comes out. It's hard to say
unless you've got one, and once you've got one, you'll work out what to do with it. Sometimes it's
an expensive lesson to learn, but most times when you spend money for something, you invariably
find a use for it, even if it's just another item on the eBay used section.

Useful advice? Well, don't just take my word for it, because even bad advice needs to be taken to be
believed. Take these suggestions into account when you are choosing your mp3 player, and you'll be
well equipped.
