MP3 player has long been an indispensable everyday device of each music lover. It would seem that there is nothing easier than choosing a suitable model, because a large number of options are presented on the market. But there are nuances that need to be taken into account when buying a new device.
1
Decide the player type. All models are divided into three types: Flash, HDD and CD:
Flash. This type is the most popular. It has low cost, compactness and low power consumption. There are options with small display or without it. They are easy and convenient, but can only be used for listening to music (Samsung YP-U7). Also release models with a color display (Creative Zen Touch 2). You can choose songs, create play-sheets, read books, view photos and videos. These models consume more energy.
HDD. The player's basis is a hard disk that increases the memory size to 16 GB. With it, it is necessary to contact very carefully because it is rather fragile (Cowon Iaudio X7).
CD. Designed to listen to music from CDs. Such models are quite large and consume a lot of electricity (IRVER IMP-1100).

HDD players are more spacing, but are very unreliable due to their design. Flash players provide less space, but are more durable and comfortable. They can store up to 32 GB, while HDD models are 10 times more. But most users for listening to music and watching films is 32 GB.

It is desirable that in addition to basic formats (AVI and MP3), the device supported FLAC (no quality reduction), WMA (high-quality sound) and TXT (if you plan to read e-books). A good example is Cowon Iaudio 10.
4
Players work from the built-in battery or finger batteries. The first options are more convenient, but for recharging it is necessary to connect to the mains (Sony NWZ-B172F). The battery life of most models is from 10 to 15 hours. The second can work without recharging from several hours to several days. It depends on memory. For example, a 4 GB player will work for about 20 hours (Explay L13).
5
To connect to a computer, special programs are needed for some models (Apple iPod Touch 5G). But if you want to connect to another PC, you can't do it anymore. Therefore, it is preferable to purchase a device that any computer can recognize (Iriver S100).
6
Select the functions to support the player. Multifunctional options often have a voice recorder, FM tuner, USB connector, WiFi, Bluetooth and many other functions. One of these players is Sony NWZ-Z1060.
7
When choosing a suitable model, be followed not only by technical specifications. The design of the device should like you, and the interface is the most comfortable and understandable as possible. Fortunately, manufacturers do not stand still, and on sale are increasingly the original options for every taste. The most popular are the touch screen players (Cowon Iaudio X9). They are very comfortable and add the device a unique style.
8
Many manufacturers offer rather high quality products. There are high-quality budget models, the cost of which is approximately 1000 rubles. The price range of simple multimedia players ranges from 2000 to 5,000 rubles, and multifunctional and high-quality devices from 5000 or more. The most popular manufacturers in this niche are Cowon Iaudio., Sony, Samsung., Apple, iriver, Creative., Transcend..
The above tips will help you choose a suitable MP3 player model. Decide on the appropriate type of device and the price category, then proceed to the selection. Do not forget to purchase a cover that protects the gadget from scratches and scratching.
