Top 99 Free Mp3 Downloads & Cheap Mp3 Player Secrets

First, something for nothing! I love mp3's, mainly for their file size and convenience. Consequently, I scour the net for the best free downloads, and have created my own unique "Top 99 Free mp3 Downloads" report that you can ONLY get from my website, by following the link at the foot of the page.

Absolutely free, of course!

And, I'm a big fan of buying cheap rather than expensive, as long as the quality is up to snuff, whenever possible. For that reason , this article will highlight some more factors to consider when you are thinking about whether to buy a cheap mp3 player.

As discussed in the previous article about how to buy a cheap mp3 player, it is now possible and feasible to purchase such a product directly from the manufacturer online.

This is one option open to anyone looking to buy a cheap mp3 player online, and a pretty valid one nowadays. The overall quality of mp3 players coming from the Far East has improved immeasurably over the past few years and cheaper Asian players are no longer the risk that they perhaps once were.

However, before looking in depth at exactly what buying online in this manner entails, and some of the pros and cons of trying to buy a cheap mp3 player online, I want to deal with one other option for buying a player on a budget.

Have you given any thought to buying a used mp3 player, rather than a brand new one?

If so, this article will "join all the dots" for you!

If not, you perhaps should do, as it may have some advantages over trying to buy a cheap mp3 player that is brand new.

You would be able to purchase a branded machine for considerably less than you would have to pay in the local mall. The price of a used branded player would almost certainly fall within the budget of people looking to buy cheap mp3 players, and, if you were willing to buy a machine that is a couple of years old, then the price could be very attractive indeed.

And, of course, it's a brand name, with all of the cachet attached to owning branded goods!

Moreover, if you buy from a reputable dealer, then there is a very good chance that the used branded player will be refurbished or refitted as well. Consequently, you would know that it is in good working condition, at least when it left the shop.

Thus, if you are looking to buy a cheap mp3 player, this is one course of action that you could certainly justifiably follow.

Indeed, not all that long ago, before the manufacturers of cheap mp3 players set about improving the quality and reliability of their products, this might have been the best cheap mp3 player option.

Compare the mp3 market to the car market, and you will see a clear parallel.

Not so many years ago, when choosing between a three year old Japanese car or a brand new Korean built automobile, I guess that 99% of people would have bought Honda or Toyota..

Now, Korean cars are almost universally seen as reliable, practical and good value for money (if a little bland). I would speculate that, asked a similar question now, you average savvy car buyer might take a different view to that of the not so distant past.

A savvy shopper thinking about buying a cheap mp3 player is in the same situation.

The quality of the cheaper products in the market has improved amazingly over the past few years, and literally continues to do so a little bit more every day.

Nowadays, to buy a cheap mp3 player does not mean that you have to compromise on quality and reliability in quite the same way as you used to.

In fact, as a long time Asia resident, I can tell you from personal experience that many of the branded machines that you can buy in the local mall are actually manufactured in the very same factories as the cheap mp3 players which the company sell under their own brand name for a fraction of the price!

Thus, there is absolutely no reason why deciding to buy a cheap mp3 player is a poor, or a second, choice. The quality is excellent and ever improving, the value for money factor is beyond question, and usually even cheap p3 players bought online come with a one year warranty.

On the other hand, a used machine is likely to enjoy a very short warranty period (3 months is the norm) if it has one at all. And, no matter how well it has been reconditioned, the fact remains that a percentage of its usable life (perhaps a significant percentage) has already past, and the machine will inevitable carry some wear and tear.

Even a more expensive branded solid state player (i.e. one with no moving parts) cannot entirely escape the inevitable ravages of passing time.

On the other hand, buy a cheap mp3 player that is brand new, an you know that there is absolutely no chance that anything is worn, and that any faults that do show themselves will inevitably be manufacturing defects, covered by the warranty.

Of course, the one thing that you inevitably lose if you do opt to buy a cheap mp3 player from a little known manufacturer is that your player is not "cool".

Me, I can handle that! Give me a "non-cool" cheap mp3 player that is going to run like clockwork or many years than a second-hand player that carries a fashionable name, which unfortunately dies on me a few months after I buy it.

In my view, that is a classic case of what is known as a false economy!

But, one final thought on buying a used mp3 player. If you are seriously convinced that only a brand name product will do it for you, then check out the online auction sites like ebay.com. They almost always have sellers looking to get rid of brand name players at pretty good prices, and it is even possible from time to time to get them almost brand new, still with a good warranty period.

My view, however, is still buy a cheap mp3 player from a non-branded manufacturer, brand new. More on exactly how to go about this in the next article.

Mp3 Player Basics - Finding the Right Mp3 Player

Mp3 players are everywhere you look now, and it seems like everyone's got one. People on tv, in movies, at school, on the bus, or even walking or running down the street. And the selections are endless. But with so many options it's almost impossible to find the right mp3 player to suit your needs, especially if you don't know what you're needs are!

Do you know what kind of mp3 player you want?

This is where choosing the best mp3 player starts. You have to know what you'll be using this mp3 player for. Do you want to workout with it at the gym? Use it for running laps? Do you want to be able to put your whole music collection on it? Or maybe you want to use it to hook up to your stereo system and play all your music without ever putting in a cd. Do you need something to pass the time for your work commute? Is something that can display pictures or play video files important to you? Do you want one of the flat out best mp3 players on the market? Or is price a factor in your purchase?

As you can see, there are a lot of factors that weigh into your decision to purchase an mp3 player. I'll try to go over some of the basic ones here.

Flash vs. Hard Drive

Most mp3 players can be split into two categories. Flash mp3 players or hard drive mp3 players. Flash mp3 players tend to be smaller, lighter, and cheaper. They also store less music, but make up for it by being able to handle more activity. Running, biking over rough terrain...and things of that sort are where flash mp3 players really outshine hard drive players. Flash mp3 players are most useful while working out or when buying an mp3 player on a budget. They are also upgradeable. You can swap out the memory card for a larger one to store more music if you decide you want a bigger player down the road.

Hard drive mp3 players are mostly known as "jukeboxes". Hard drive mp3 players are good for storing large music collections or as backup drives to store larger files(or with recent technological advancements...displaying pictures or playing videos). Hard drive players are great for taking away on extended trips or vacations. But hard drive mp3 players are pricey, and the more features they have, the more expensive they are. Though you are getting your based price per gig, the larger you go.

Features

Mp3 players have a variety of different features. From sound and audio options, to various play options. All mp3 players will also have different included software for downloading and managing music files, with some software packages being better than others. Things like battery life and included accessories may be important to you also, so make sure to check the specs of an mp3 player before purchasing it. Read some reviews and see if anyone has any negative things to say about it.

Some mp3 players will even allow you to rip CDs directly from an audio player to your mp3 player, no computer required. Players will also have different navigation types. Some using buttons, others using touch pads or click wheels. Some mp3 players come standard with an FM tuner, as well as digital voice and FM recording. Then there are players made specifically for sports use that come with lap timers and stopwatches and things of that nature. If any particlular feature is important to you, make sure the mp3 player you want has it(or can at least be bought as an accessory for it).

Price

If you're looking to purchase an mp3 player for under $100 or so, flash mp3 players are going to be your best bet. Very few hard drive or larger file capacity mp3 players are available at that kind of price. But there is good news. With competition the way it is in the mp3 player market, older model mp3 players are always being made available at huge discounted prices, allowing you to save anywhere from $20 to $70 on some of the best mp3 players out there.

Brands

There are a lot of competing companies out there making mp3 players. Weeding out the top quality ones from the lesser ones isn't always easy. Some of my favorites are Apple, Creative Labs, Sandisk, Rio, iRiver and Archos. There are others, such as Nike or iAudio and more, but these are the main contenders. The Apple iPod is by far the most popular, most pervasive, coolest, and also most expensive mp3 player brand out there. Whether the price of the iPod is worth it, is your choice. Just make sure you get a good sense of what other mp3 player brands are out there, and what each of them are like.

Conclusion

Finding the right mp3 player can be difficult sometimes. Knowing the answers to many of the questions asked in this article will make that search, and subsequent decision, easier for you. But don't despair if this intro to mp3 players wasn't enough for you. There are sites out there dedicated to helping you choose the right mp3 player. Happy hunting!

Buying the Right MP3 Player

Today MP3 players have become very popular, mainly because of the convenience that they provide in having music in an easy, portable fashion, that you can carry in your pocket or in your hand. In addition they provide you with the ability to compile your own list of songs, and are able to hold a lot more songs than a CD, DVD or cassette can due to its compressed MP3 format. Trying to find the best player to suit your personal need can be very difficult because of the many brands and types that are available.

MP3 players are available in three main categories. The first category of MP3s is the Flash Memory Player. These are the smallest and lightest forms of players weighing as little as 1 to 2 ounces. These players have the ability to store up to 1 GB of memory or approximately 2000 songs. This type of player is very durable and energy efficient. The next type of player is a little bigger, weighing up to 6 ounces and having the ability to store between 8 to 80GB of information. This is equivalent to approximately 80 thousand songs along with data, video and photographs. Hence they are more versatile than the Flash Memory MP3, they however consume more energy. The next type of MP3 players is the MP3 CD players; in essence these are CD players that can play songs which have a MP3 format. These types of players are mostly seen in cars and require the use of a CD which contains the MP3 format of songs.

In buying a MP3 player it is very important that you first know what the MP3 will be used for, this will help you to decide which type is right for you. Today most persons are desirous of having the second type MP3 player. However, even with this decision there are still so many different players of this type that choosing the right player can still be difficult. Deciding on what features you would love the MP3 player to have can help to narrow down your search.

As a result you will need to consider the battery life of the MP3, and the battery life you will require will depend on what you hope to use the player for. If you rely on players to watch videos along with listening to music, will need to seek a MP3 player with a good battery life. You will also need to consider the display features of the MP3, the ease with which you are able to use the MP3 player, and the features that come with the MP3. Today many MP3 are equipped with more features than just to listen to music or the radio. Many are equipped with an eBook reader, Wi-Fi, cameras and so on. However not all MP3 will have all these features, so you will first need to decide what you are looking for in a MP3 player.

Shopping For MP3 Players

MP3 players, also known as digital audio players, have quickly become a staple in the technology of today. Their portability and customizable options make them an ideal for choice for listening to music on the go, which may include working out at the gym, traveling or simply sitting in your favorite chair.

When shopping for MP3 players, it's important to realize that there are a variety of models and an even larger number of retailers to sell them. In order to get the best value for your dollar, it is a good idea to shop around and do some comparative pricing for MP3 players. From the simplistic design to the more complex, there is an MP3 device that is sure to suit the needs of even the most selective of consumers.

The MP3 player that is ultimately purchased should meet the needs of the purchaser. Anyone who plans to download music via their computer must first consider that the connectivity of the MP3 is compatible with their computer. In order to correctly download music files, there must be a way to connect the two. A large number of MP3 players require a USB connection, which is available on most new computers.

The next thing to consider, when shopping for an MP3 player, is the size of the display screen. The screen is generally small and can often be difficult to read, especially if there is a glare from the sun. By selecting an MP3 player with a readable display screen, consumers will be better able to see which song is playing and browse through any applicable song list.

An MP3 player can accommodate a number of file types, the most common of which is .mp3. In addition, however, some players may also accommodate files ending in .wav and .wma or other similar file type. Before purchasing any MP3 player, customers must first confirm the type(s) of files that the player will support. This will be very important in determining which song files will work with their MP3 player.

In order to transfer the music from a computer to an MP3 player, the consumer will need some type of software in order to make the transfer successful. The majority of new MP3 players are accompanied by their own software; But, is it simple to use? It may be a good idea to read online customer reviews regarding specific MP3 players in order to learn about the experiences that other buyers have had with not only the player itself, but the software as well. Many MP3 players can be handled by the operating system alone and need no additional software installed. You should check to make sure that a player is compatible with your operating system before purchasing.

Perhaps the biggest consideration is memory. Memory also has the largest impact on price. An average mp3 file is about 2.5MB in size. At this size, a 250MB player can hold 10 mp3's and a 1Gig player can hold 40. The size you'll be happy with will be determined by how many songs you'd like to carry at one time, and how much you're willing to spend.

So, what is the best way to shop for an MP3 player? Thanks to internet, the options are unlimited and customers have a stronger voice than ever. By reading online customer reviews, comparing prices and model specifications, consumers will be able to select the right MP3 player that will have them singing a new tune in no time.

There are many sources of MP3's you can use to fill your player's memory. You can convert your existing cd's to MP3 format or you can obtain MP3's online. For a review of online sources for MP3's see [http://www.buymp3music-online.com]

Choosing The mp3 Player That Suits You

If you've been looking around for an mp3 player, chances are you're very confused with all the different specifications and the vast array of models out there. You've read that you can get your entire music collection on to one mp3 player and that's true - but not every mp3 player. You have also been told that you can throw them around, go jogging with them, climb a mountain with one and all this is true - but again, not every mp3 player will withstand this treatment.

Basically, if you want to get physical with your mp3 player then you need one with no moving parts. In this case, the iPod is not what you want. You would be looking for a machine which saves it's music to memory. Some of the most popular mp3 players which fall into this category are in the Creative MuVo range.

There are basically three types of mp3 player. Hard drive based, memory based and mp3 CD player based. The hard drive mp3 players allow you to store thousands of tunes whilst the memory based version sacrifices music volume for freedom of movement. You can even get waterproof mp3 players! The mp3 CD players read the mp3 music from a CD which you have pre-burned.

So now you have enough information to know what type of mp3 player you should be looking for. Now what about capacity? How much music can you get on the various players out there? Let's take a look ....

If you want your music to sound good you want to be using at least CD quality mp3s. One minute of CD quality mp3 takes up around 1Mb. The memory based mp3 players have a top limit of around 500Mb meaning you can get roughly 120 average length tunes on there. But the top end hard drive versions go up to as much as 60Gb which is a whole lot of music - an anorak's dream :)

Another consideration is battery life. The hard drive mp3 players plough through the batteries at a rate of knots since the disk has to physically turn. The memory based option uses a lot less battery power. Many of the memory based mp3 players use the AAA size battery which is very convenient since you don't need a re-charger and you don't need to search for hard to find battery types. You'll find that most hard drive versions use lithium-ion rechargeable batteries and if you use your mp3 player a lot, your re-charger will be in regular use. Many people simply leave the power lead plugged in when they are at home.

An important factor in your decision should be the size of the unit. If you want to use your player at the gym or while you're out jogging then you'll want the smallest player possible. There are some really tiny models on the market these days. You will usually have to sacrifice some storage with a very small mp3 players but you can usually get enough music on there to have a good long workout.

If you want to use your mp3 player more at home then size will not be such a great consideration. The iPod is still a very compact unit and most people will be held to fit their entire collection on there. Of course the iPod is not your only option and there are many excellent manufacturers out there. Just be careful of some of the cheap imports you see on ebay, often there is no support for these players.

As a replacement for the home hi fi system, the mp3 player is becoming more and more popular. High fidelity purists obviously will never be swayed but to most of us the quality of the mp3 is perfectly adequate for our everyday listening purposes.

In fact many modern players coming on to the market have been designed with both portability and versatility in mind. What better way to entertain your dinner party guests than to have your mp3 player randomly selecting music from over ten thousand of your favourite tracks? No more fumbling around in your CD rack trying to find the disk that lost its cover ;)

Now you know what to look for, go get yourself a player and join the digital music revolution.
