Top 5 Best MP3 Players
We are in the digital age, where quite obviously, everything is digital…from cameras to skipping ropes. And we are also in an age where walkmans are a thing of the past.
The latest music device is the MP3 player. There are loads of MP3 players available in the market today but which one is really worth its price.
Lets find out and see what MP3 players’ feature in the Top 5 best MP3 players list:
iPod Classic 80GB
When we talk about MP3 players most automatically most of us think of the iPod. The iPod Classic is what we would call the king of MP3 players and also the king of the Apple ipods (excluding the iPod Touch, which is a league by itself if you have that kind of cash to dish out). This fifth generation iPod is a recreation of the Video iPod. You can get the iPod Classic with a memory of 80GB and 160GB. The 80 GB iPod Classic is a little easier on the pockets and just as good.
The iPod Classic now comes with an anodized-aluminum faceplate, which happily says good-bye to the glossy and fade prone plastic façade on the previous ipods.
The best thing of this recreated version is its overhauled menu system. The split screen is to die for and lets you multitask. And the new features are nothing to joke about either. The support for video, music playback, photos, podcasts and games are more or less the same. The iTunes Software that is used for uploading songs onto the player is user friendly and glitch free.
Sony NWZ – A810
Now that the software SonicStage is dead and non-existent, more and more people are looking towards the Sony Walkman as the perfect solution for big question: Which MP3 Player to buy? This new Sony NWZ – A810 is a great device, it supports AAC and protected WMA. The battery life and sound are nothing to joke about either. The latest Sony Walkman is video-friendly and comes in a range or 2GB, 4GB and 8GB.
The looks are quite slick too…with its high-quality, metallic body that comes in black, pink, white and silver. The chrome like strip around the edges adds a touch of style and glamour to this MP3 player. And what will tip you over for buying this player are the 2-inch QVGA display and the organized main menu screen.
Getting back to software, with the removal of SonicStage the popularity of the Sony Walkmans has pumped up. Now the owner of a Sony Walkman like the NWZ-A810 can use any WMA jukebox like the Windows Media Player or Rhapsody. The only problem with the Sony NWZ – A810 is the lack of FM tuner, voice recorder and memory expansion, but if you are willing to over look these minor drawback, all in all you have a great MP3 player.
Microsoft Zune (30GB)
This latest Microsoft introduced MP3 player is great for audio and video playback, and was one that was quite unknown to most people till a few months ago. But the great thing about this MP3 Player is that it can compete with most MP3 players in the market. Zune is a player that integrates wireless technology for Zune-to-Zune sharing and also works within an ecosystem quite like iTunes. The device itself comes in three basic colors, black, white and brown…is great for beginners in the field of MP3 players but the more advanced users will find it somewhat lacking.
The Zune Marketplace Jukebox software is standard software with features like burning, ripping and music managements. It also comes with a Media sharing feature that allows music, video and photo streaming to the Xbox 360.
Creative Zen V plus (4GB)
This user-friendly MP3 player is one that is very cute to look at and it can be stuffed into any pocket. And it allows you to do so without compromising on its screen. It comes with a vivid OLED display, which gives superb viewing from any angle. And the features in this tiny player are good too…it comes with an FM radio, voice recorder and line-in recorder. Also the photo, video and audio playback are par excellence. It is also compatible with subscription WMA tracks, oh and how can we forget the great sound quality and clarity and the battery life.
SanDisk Sansa e280 (8GB)
The SanDisk Sansa e280 is a part of the e200 series, which is famous for its features like subscription compatibility, FM tuner/recorder, voice recorder and video/photo playback. It comes in a sleek and durable device that isn’t too bulky nor to delicate to handle. The navigation and software interface on this are easy to use. With added features like user-removable batteries and Micro SD slot gives it a competitive edge over others in the market. The sound, the quality, performance and battery life are not bad and make this a budget friendly MP3 player.
