Digital Audio MP3 Player Reviews & Guide

By Anne Ahira

The Good

Great for taking music, photos, and video on the go; lots of choices and options available; most of the big names are good quality

The Bad

Pricing is not much different between big name brands and smaller brands

The Bottom Line

Getting a digital audio mp3 player is a good thought for even casual music lovers. The key is setting up which features is important the most to you and what size hard drive you're keen on .

Review

If you're ready to jump on the digital audio MP3 player bandwagon, but you're not sure which of the models on the market will fit your music listening needs the best, let's look at the options. All of the main digital audio MP3 player models have similar features.

The majority have screens ranging from 1.5 inches to 2.5 inches in size. LCD screens are typically going to give you a crisper, cleaner image than other types but unless you plan on watching video on your player that won't be a big deal.

While you can find digital audio MP3 player models with hard drives as large as 250 GB, generally people prefer to pick something smaller.

The most common sizes are in the 4 GB to 16 GB range. Take into account that images and videos do consume more space.

Now if you don't need anything that large and you only need a digital audio MP3 player that can play music then you may need to look for even smaller players, for example the iPod Shuffle. Many of these units are very reasonable , hold decent amounts of storage space (around 1 GB or less usually ), and are sometimes created to be more portable.

The Zune and several Creative digital audio MP3 player models include wireless synching. This indicate that you do not have to connect your player to your computer with a cord in order to transfer audio file or other media onto the player.

While most of the digital audio MP3 players on the market today are going to be fairly good choices, stick to names you recognize. - 22787
