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 matters to seek in picking the great download MP3 player for your necessities is to look at how much capacity you want. The market contains players that may store as small as 512 MB and as much as 120 GB or even bigger.

If you’re buying one of the smaller drives, you probably just desire to use it for music listening. Larger ones may also be convenient for sharing pictures and viewing videos/movies.

The SanDisk Sansa View, for example, provides a good mixture of decent storage capacity. Models with 8 GB, 16 GB, and 32 GB storage are available. All three models offer expandable storage with removable memory. At TigerDirect, the 16GB model is only $160. At Amazon, prices range from $100 to $190 depending on the storage capacity you select.

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.

If you wish for a colorful option to the iPod, a nice choice is the Microsoft Zune. As the players first launched, black was the only color existing. Now, more shades are existing for different size models.

For instance, the 8 GB model is obtainable in blue, red, and pink. The 120 GB type is also available in red. At the Microsoft Store, prices are $140 for the 8GB models and $250 for the 120 GB models. The prices are very similar at TigerDirect.

A lot of the another corporations present their download MP3 player models in other colors, too. For instance, the 4 GB Sandisk Sansa Fuze is available in pink, blue, silver, and black. Amazon sells for about $70.
