Buying Guide - MP3 players
Mobile music
MP3 players have changed the way we listen to music on the move. With no need for tapes or discs, mp3 players can store days, if not weeks of music, giving us more choice than any other music players.
Although we call portable music players mp3 players, the majority of portable music players support more than just mp3. But whatever formats mp3 players may support, the same basic principles remains. Uncompressed digital music files are ripped from CDs, the data is compressed and copied to mp3 players. The resulting music files will be a fraction of the size that they were on the CD, allowing mp3 players to store large music libraries.
Early mp3 players favoured hard disks for storage, which allowed for large capacity, but also compromised battery life and limited how small mp3 players could be. Now most mp3 players use flash memory. With flash storage mp3 players enjoy better battery life, more robust build and reduced size, while still offering capacities up to 64GB.
Although Apple is the clear market leader, there's still stiff competition from the likes of Samsung and Sony when it comes to mp3 players.
Accessories
All mp3 players come with earphones in the box, but they're almost universally poor. If you're looking at music players, the most important accessory is a decent set of earphones. High end earphones can cost more then the mp3 players that they connect to, but you can pick up a good set of earphones for around £40 that will improve any music players that you plug them into.
With such extensive music libraries inside them, mp3 players aren't just useful when we're out and about, you'll want to be able to listen to your music player when you're at home too. The solution is a speaker dock, into which you can plug music players and listen to your music without the need for earphones. There's no end of speaker dock options, with the vast majority of them supporting iPod music players.
When looking for a speaker dock consider the size of the room it will be in, and where you will be while listening. Some speaker docks are tailored for the bedside table with integrated clock and alarm functionality, while others focus solely on getting the best sound quality from music players.
