MP3 players come in all shapes and sizes, and with different capabilities, both in storage and in power. Most are small enough to fit in your pocket. MP3 players are also adaptable in your car as well as on a table top, with external speakers. MP3 players are able to store music as well as other types of sound files and then play them back.
There are three basic types of MP3 players, Hard Drive, Micro Drive, and Flash Based players. Hard drive and micro drive both use a hard disk and have moving parts, which can have a tendency to skip if jarred. Hard drive MP3 players are also heavier and tend to be a bit larger than micro drive and flash based players. However they also have the largest storage capacity, some more than ten gigabytes, which is more than 2500 music files. Second in storage capacity is the micro drive player, being able to store between five and six gigabytes, more than 1500 MP3 files. Smaller and weighing less, but still having moving parts. Finally there is flash based MP3 players, which are small and have no moving parts. So if jarred skipping is not a problem. These players seem to be very popular with joggers and all sorts of sports enthusiasts. Both hard drive and micro hard drive MP3 players use rechargeable batteries that can only be recharged, no replaced. Some of the different types of devices also include additional features. Some Hard Drive players include a small video screen in which pictures and video files that have been stored on the drive can be viewed. Some MP3 players include features for digital voice recording and playback.
Some examples of Hard Drive players are Microsoft Zune, iPod Nano, Sony Walkman.
