mp3 review

By Anne Ahira

Comparing mp3 players can be tedious to say the least. Sometimes it is helpful to have the top players in the market put briefly so you can easily see the difference between them. This is what an mp3 review can help you do; stay tuned for the top four-mp3 players on the market.

IPod Touch Second Generation

No discussion on mp3 players is complete without the Apple IPod. It is the standard by which all other mp3 players are judged and as such deserves its spot in the top four-mp3 review.

Features

• 8 GB
• Capacity- 1,750 songs, 10,000 images, 10 hours of video
• 36 hour battery life on audio- 6 hour video
• Audio supported- AC, Protected AAC, MP3, MP3 VBR, Audible, Apple Lossless, AIFF, and WAV
• Video Supported- H.264, MPEG-4
• Image- JPEG, BMP, GIF, TIFF, PSD (Mac only), and PNG

Pros

This generation IPod has it all and then some, listen to music, watch videos and check your email all from the same device!

Cons

• Not a simple interface
• ITunes required

Fourth Generation Nano

This mp3 review is not sponsored by IPod, however like stated above they are the top of the line.

Features

• 16 GB flash drive
• 24 hour battery audio
• 4 hour battery life video
• 2” LCD screen
• 4,000 songs; 14,000 images or 16 hours of video

Pros

Several more colors to choose from than earlier generations along with the addition of Genius playlist and a tilt sensor make this a great mp3 player.

Cons

• Average sound quality
• Glare
• Must update to ITunes 8

Microsoft Zune 120 GB

Apple has not cornered the mp3 market just yet; Microsoft is doing their part to ensure customers have more choices. That brings this mp3 review to the Zune 120 GB mp3 player.

Features

• 120 GB hard drive
• Glossy finish
• FM radio
• 30,000 songs; 25,000 images or 375 hours of video
• 3.2 LCD display

Pros

Zune stands heads and shoulders above the rest with the addition of Zune to Zune sharing. Friends can now share a complete audio track for a limited amount of time before committing to purchase.

The 3.2-inch screen is a thing to be envied by many mp3 owners. It has beautiful display quality and adds to the overall design of the player.

Cons

• Not great battery life
• Loss of quality ear buds
• Scratch and smudge magnet

Archos 605 WI-Fi

This is a bit more than an mp3 player is however; it is one of the many functions and therefore is included in this mp3 review. The Archos more fits into the personal media player category. You can use this device between your computer and television to stream media, save movies you have on your DVR and more.

Features

• 80 GB hard drive
• Record TV
• 4.3 touch screen
• Internet access
• Music, video, TV, images and much more!

Pros

Beautiful large screen, more than big enough to watch television on is the first big plus this player has. Top-notch video resolution and wireless movie downloads send this bad boy to the head of the class.

Cons

• Average battery life
• Could use more included software
