Please Your Ears With an MP3 Player

The MP3 player as we know it started off as a simple digital audio player. The original MP3 player was flash based which basically means the device is non-mechanical and doesn't have any moving parts.

MP3 Players which store your files on a hard disk drive increase memory significantly with the likelihood that a high-capacity player would be able to hold thousands of songs and quite possibly your entire music collection. To estimate the storage capacity of an MP3 player it's important to know that a typical good quality song will use about 4.5MB of memory so a 1 GB player can accommodate around 220 songs.

Deciding whether you want to watch videos and view photos on your MP3 player is a good place to start. This also helps to determine whether you need a colour screen as well as the size of the screen itself.

Other mp3 player functions include voice recorders, alarm clock and even waterproof options so if surfing whilst singing along to your tunes sounds like your idea of fun there's a product out there for you!
