By now, you have probably noticed that for every size mp3 player there are at least a dozen varieties.

The 20 GB mp3 player is no exception to this rule. IPod tends to dominate in the digital mp3 players world; however, Sony, Toshiba, San Disk, Samsung, and several others are joining in the fray.

The problem is for every player there are different music file formats. One will play WMA files while another will not. There is considerable overlap but there is no universal music file that a 20 GB mp3 player will play.

Take for instance the music on iTunes, this format is digital rights management protected or DRM. This is a form of copy protection for digital media. You have likely encountered this type of protection on DVD’s, audio books, CD’s and music mp3 downloads.

If you have ever used the Apple IPod 20 GB, mp3 player you have encountered DRM protected music.
