MP3 players made easy
When looking to buy an MP3 player it is important to look out for the main features to ensure you gain the benefits.Memory - This determines the amount of music/videos you will be able to store on your MP3 player. A high capacity model is good if you want to store other media such as photos and videos, along with storing your entire music collection. For smaller capacity models, many songs can be stored but you may wish to clear the storage from time to time to alter the collection stored in the memory. MP3 player models range from having 1GB of memory up to 160GB. A 1GB model is able to store up to approximately 250 songs, whereas a 160GB models can store up to 40,000 songs or 200 hours of video.
Screen - Higher spec MP3 players have a full colour screen in order for you to see the music that is being played, to watch videos and to view photos. There are many different sized screens available and they range in resolution. For example the Sony NWZ-S544 has a 2.4 inch colour LCD and the Apple iPod Nano has a 2.2 inch TFT display.
Battery - The battery determines the playback time for music and videos. The playback time differs between models, so it is an important feature to consider. For example, the Apple iPod Nano will playback 24 hours of music from a full charge and 5 hours of video.
FM Radio and FM recording - Many MP3 players have an FM radio feature along with the ability to record.
Audio technology - The audio technology ultimately provides the quality of music you hear. There are many audio technologies which differ between manufacturers.
Games - Some MP3 players are packed with games, while others have just a few, and some have none. They can be downloaded from the internet.
