Music has long been one of my passions so, of course, I’ve tried out almost all of the download Mp3 player models on the market. From all of these experiences, I’ve put together a list of some of what you want to look for in order to buy the right download MP3 player for your needs, as well as recommendations for the best models.
Flash/Hard Drive Capacity
One of the big issues to look for in choosing the perfect download MP3 player for your needs is to look at how much capacity you need. The market contains players that can hold as little as 512 MB and as much as 120 GB or even larger.
If you’re purchasing one of the smaller drives, you probably only want to use it for music listening. Larger ones can also be useful for sharing photos and watching videos/movies.
The SanDisk Sansa View, for example, provides a nice mixture of decent storage space. Types with 8 GB, 16 GB, and 32 GB storage space are existing. All three models present expandable storage with removable memory. At TigerDirect, the 16GB type is only $160. At Amazon, prices range from $100 to $190 depending on the storage capacity you decide on.
Color Options
Once upon a time, a download Mp3 player didn’t have to be colorful to be popular. Thanks to the rainbow of colors introduced by Apple for their iPod Nano line, however, that’s all changed. Today, people sometimes look at the aesthetic appeal of the download MP3 player above the technical specifications.
When you want a colorful alternative to the iPod, an excellent option is the Microsoft Zune. While the players first introduced, black was the only color available. Now, more shades are obtainable for different size types.
For instance, the 8 GB type is existing in blue, red, and pink. The 120 GB version is also existing in red. At the Microsoft Store, prices are $140 for the 8GB types and $250 for the 120 GB types. The costs are alike at TigerDirect.
A number of the other companies offer their download MP3 player models in other colors, too. For example, the 4 GB Sandisk Sansa Fuze is available in pink, blue, silver, and black. Amazon sells for around $70.
