MP3 Players – How to Select the Best Model
As you go about searching for a new MP3 player, there are several key features which need consideration. MP3 players come in a variety of memory storage capacities. The best option is to buy one with as much memory as possible.
As an example: one minute of MP3 music is equal to 1 MB of storage. So 128 MB of storage is equal to approximately 2 hours of music. The more memory the MP3 player has, the more music it can store for many hours of listening pleasure. Video storage is based on the length of a video, this can be determined by the total MBs of the video.

Purchase a MP3 player which has a FireWire or USB connection for the computer. Do not select an MP3 player with a parallel connection, because the transfer speed is way too slow.
As the search continues and a couple of options have been selected. Visit a store and check out the choices. Although MP3 players play music and videos, no two models are equal in capabilities or design.
