Video MP3 Player
By Anne Ahira
The size of personal media players has shrunk to the point that you can now carry your favorite movies or videos in your back pocket! There is no doubt about it the video mp3 player has changed the media world forever.
Which One?
If you have looked for a video mp3 player, you have probably been overwhelmed at the possibilities. In most cases, it is hard to do a side by side comparison because they are truly apples and oranges. There are two different types of memory for video mp3 players, flash and hard drive, and several sizes for each. The best for portability is the flash memory as it has no moving parts; hard drive models actually have small moving hard drives inside.
Beginner
If you are purchasing a unit as a beginner or for a young person on the go, flash memory is the best choice it will hold up to jogging and various other activities without harming the video mp3 player.
Zune 16 GB Video Mp3 Player
To fulfill the requirements above and still have the optimum storage capacity, the Zune 16 GB video mp3 player is a good choice. With this unit you will have adequate storage, flash memory and confidence in good customer ratings. It doesn’t hurt that this player is priced lower than other similar video mp3 players.
Features:
- 16 Gb flash memory
- 1.8 LCD screen
- 320×240 pixel display
- FM radio
- Audio book capabilities
- Will hold 4,000 songs, 25,000 pictures or 50-hours of video
Good
Plenty of memory for the price, good sound quality and easy user interface. More than one customer has defected from IPod for this video mp3 player. One other key selling point when compared to the Nano is the glass screen over plastic.
Bad
The screen size is a bit small considering many models are now coming out with 2-3 inch screens. However you may notice that the larger the screen the higher the price.
Customer Rating
The Zune has attained five out of five stars in 200 customer ratings, plus a hundred more that rate it a four out of five. Impressive results when considering all the hype the IPod has had.
Bottom Line
The Zune 16 GB video mp3 player is a great player for the price. Customers are well satisfied with look, feel and functionality of this unit. Of course, you will have a hard time finding accessories like carrying cases and such, but manufacturers are scrambling to catch up to the demand for these add ons.

Customer Review: AppearanceYes, it looks kinda like a toy. That said, though, it's small, sleek, and black. If you put a large emphasis on your mp3 player's looks, try getting some blown up pictures on Google to see if you like it. Otherwise, just know that it isn... Read More |

Customer Review: If you take care of these, they keep their value. A side effect of having no moving parts is that these things stay fresh longer. This is (I think?) my 6th Sansa and I have resold all of them for close to what I paid for them. I do this every time I ... Read More |
