randy9378 Posted July 18, 2007 Share Posted July 18, 2007 I went to a forum and saw a link that said "The Best Mp3 Players", what are mp3 players and why does everybody talk about them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rya Posted July 18, 2007 Share Posted July 18, 2007 Here you go: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MP3 They're small digital music players. You don't have to lug around portable cd players anylonger. Ever hear of an iPod? MP3 is a particular format for the digital info. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rx330driver Posted July 18, 2007 Share Posted July 18, 2007 its a machine that will hold a lot of songs. Since it doesnt use discs of any sort, but an internal hardrive, you can plug it into your computer using a USB cord and depending on how many gigs that thing has, it can hold from 4,000 songs to 50,000 songs. to list a few: ipods/the new iphone there are a ton, dell makes them creative labs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rya Posted July 18, 2007 Share Posted July 18, 2007 depending on how many gigs that thing has, it can hold from 4,000 songs to 50,000 songs. Or my tiny 1gb Samsung that just holds a few hundered songs :( (granted some of my songs are for my dancing & are HUGE files, but still only a few hundered songs) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
indiasfinest Posted July 18, 2007 Share Posted July 18, 2007 not all have hard drives though, some use flash memory, like the usb stick you use with your computer, those are generally the smaller capacity ones such as the nano. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rya Posted July 18, 2007 Share Posted July 18, 2007 Yep, mine is flash & not a h/d. But, it works for what I need it for. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
indiasfinest Posted July 18, 2007 Share Posted July 18, 2007 flash tends to have better battery life and it wont get nearly as hot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gabrieljones Posted July 19, 2007 Share Posted July 19, 2007 Basically, an MP3 player is a small portable device that lets you store and play music digitally...it replaces the CD player, which, in turn, had replaced the cassette/tape player. For more information, check outwww.goliathbargains.com Make sure you read into the MP3 while you're there. Hope this helps, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smooth1 Posted July 20, 2007 Share Posted July 20, 2007 Yeah, in fact I have a 30 GIG Ipod that direct connects to my car stereo,( aftermarket, Pioneer AVIC-Z2). I have about 750 songs on it,( All sorted by playlists that I created.) And I have about 7 movies and a few tv shows loaded on it, which I can also watch on my Nav. screen. I used to burn CD's and lug them around in the car. Now I have more music than ever, all on a electronic device that's 3" wide, 5" tall and about 1/4 " thick! And when I get out of my car, I can take the ipod with me and just plug in headphones, or they have radios and stereos that have iPod docking bays and you can listen to it thru that.
