Looking For an MP3 Player? by: Levi Bloom If you don’t have an mp3 player, and even if you do, you should check out all the
new stuff that’s going on. I’m hoping this article will give you some idea of what
kind of mp3 player you want and some tips on what to look for in an mp3 player.
Maybe you work out and need something small and skip-proof for running or
lifting. Maybe you have an 8 hour (or longer) plane ride when you go home and
need to pass the time. Maybe you want a new one just for the sake of having a
new one. Whatever it is, this article should help you choose.
First, for those of you who want something for working out: The two most
important things to look for are size/weight and solid state memory, things CD
players lack. You want something that you can clip to your shorts or strap to your
arm that won’t interfere with your movements, and you want it to be light enough
so you don’t even notice it. (Tip: Get a lithium ion battery to save even more
weight.) To be sure that your player will not skip if you move too much or too fast,
get one with solid state internal Flash memory, which has no moving parts so it
can’t skip. These are usually available as 64 to 512 MB models, with a 64 MB
model holding roughly an hour of music. Prices typically range from $100 to $300.
On the other hand, you may want to store all 16,000 songs in your collection on
your mp3 player so you never hear the same one twice. In this case you need a
hard drive based mp3 player, commonly known as an mp3 jukebox, for which you
could pay up to $500. It will be a little bigger and heavier than and not quite as
durable as a solid state mp3 player, but that isn’t a concern if you just want to sit
around and listen to music. And they are still far more portable than a CD player.
Torn between a small, light, solid state mp3 player and a hard drive based player
that holds thousands of songs? Well, the iPod Mini may be for you! The iPod Mini
is just one model in a new breed of small hard drive mp3 players. They are a little
lighter and smaller than normal hard drive players, and hold more songs than the
average solid state mp3 player. (Did I mention the iPod Mini comes in blue, green,
gold, and pink?) That’s it for the main differences, but here are some more things
you should look for when making a purchase: long battery life, an FM tuner, voice
recorder, an easy to read screen, and compatibility with your computer.
