What to look for in an MP3 Player-1: Memory
Welcome lovers of music and gadgets. MP3 players have revolutionized the way to we listen to and store music. But which is the MP3 player for you. That's the million dollar question. I am over the next few days going to give you the lowdown on what to look for when you are buying an MP3 player. Then we can get into specifics of which player is right for you. So read on…
The size of the memory is perhaps the single most important feature of an MP3 player because it determines how much music you can store and how much it weighs and costs.
MP3 players come in two basic varieties: those with flash memory and those with hard drives. Flash players like the Mobiblu DAH 1500i might have around 1 GB of memory while hard-drive players like some of the iPod models might have 30 or 60 GB. Each GB can store about 15 hours of music which means that a flash player can store a reasonable selection of your collection whereas your hard-drive player might easily store all of it.
Today’s MP3 players have become multi-media devices and there are more uses for a large memory; like storing your photo and video collection or backing up your PC. Of course all the extra memory comes for a price. A flash player may come for around Rs 5000 whereas a 30 GB player might cost three times as much.
Hard drives are heavier as well whereas flash players are sometimes so light that you can hardly feel them in your shirt pocket; they are ideal during exercise or sports.
