Top 5 things people look for when buying an Mp3 player

When looking to buy a new Mp3 player, there are usually five different aspects that determine what you are looking for, what you need, and what you will buy in the end – price, size, brand, ease of use and reliability. Of course, price is always the determining factor that is most important. If price is not an issue, then there is really no research needed – just buy the most expensive Mp3 player you can find. 

This will guarantee that you have all possible features available and that everything is state-of-the-art. If price is an issue, then you need to start looking at other factors as well. For example, how big do you want the player to be? The larger the size of the player, the more it will cost. Do you need it for listening to music while commuting to and from work? If so, then 4 to 8 GB will probably be enough. If you are looking to use it as a storage device where you will be keeping a lot of your music, much like an external hard drive – then you will go for something bigger, like a 160 GB iPod, for example. 

Brand recognition is also important when choosing the right Mp3 player. A lot of people will buy an iPod just because it is made by Apple, and because they believe that owning an Apple product is cooler than anything else. The iPod is not as easy to use or reliable as many other Mp3 players, just because you have to go through iTunes to put music on it instead of just using it like a regular USB.
