Mp3 Player Downloads

By Anne Ahira

Mp3 players are a great device to pass the time while working, working out or just relaxing the day away. However, they are little use if they have no music on them! There are several ways to get music to your player, depending on the brand you can get mp3 player downloads in a variety of places.

ITunes

Since IPod is, the most well known mp3 player on the planet ITunes is a good place to begin. ITunes is the market place for all Apple mp3 players and media devices. Here you can download music, movies and games to access on your portable media player or even on your home pc or MAC.

Dedicated IPod fans love ITunes, the convenience and application are nice, however other rebel mp3 owners are a little put off by not being able to pick and choose where they get their music.

Rhapsody to Go

Many users are turning to Rhapsody for their mp3 player downloads. Not only is Rhapsody applicable on more brands of mp3 players, you can also get unlimited downloads for one set fee per month. No more paying 99 cents per song, for $14.99 you can get 1 or a thousand mp3 player downloads. With over 6 million titles to choose from you will be hard pressed not to find your favorite.

Napster to Go

Napster offers the versatility of maintaining your favorite music online without downloading or adding the music to your computer for ripping and saving to mp3 players. The ability to maintain it on the site means you free up more of your hard drive for more important files and you never have to worry about losing all you have paid for if your computer crashes. Napster also has a monthly-unlimited subscription plan similar to Rhapsody.

Ripping

You can, of course, rip your own CD’s to your pc and make your own mp3 player downloads. This too depends on the type of player that you have as well as the format of your computer media player. Some mp3 players are not compatible with the Windows Media Player format for example. You will need to research the brands and compatibility before purchasing an mp3 player. The best option is an mp3 player that allows you to drag and drop your music files into the player.

Conclusion

There are many ways to access or create mp3 player downloads. You can subscribe to your favorite provider or create your own with software on your pc and mp3 player. Both options have their pros and cons and most people want a combination of the two. The only brand that completely limits your choices in mp3 player downloads is Apple, the IPod is enslaved to the ITunes site.
