The Ins And Outs of Current Mp3 Players
One general rule of thumb when it comes to new technologies is that they generally aren't so new when they gain widespread appeal. Whenever a new technology is unveiled, it is typically clunky, expensive, and full of bugs. The people who buy these new devices at incredible prices are true technophiles who simply cannot wait to own the latest gizmo. In this article we will discuss one of the most popular modern gadgets, the MP3 player. The name is an abbreviated acronym for the company that created the technology-Moving Picture Experts Group. Commonly referred to as MP3, the most recent version, it is a patented digital/audio encoding system. Without getting too technical, MP3 lets users store massive amounts of audio and digital files in a pocket-size device.The data compression system was invented way back in 1991. It would take a decade before a company released an MP3 player that would set the industry standard. The Apple iPod was released at the end of 2001. Despite its late start, it is easily the most popular MP3 player in history thus far. According to company records, Apple has sold a quarter of a billion iPods over the past ten years. What's so great about the MP3? Maybe once in a generation a device is introduced that represents an enormous leap forward in technology. This device may be something completely new, like the television, or a gadget that is so superior to its predecessor it leaves no question that it must inevitably replace it. With all due respect to the DVD player and GPS, MP3 is the clearly the most important demotic gadget of the past twenty years.Let us consider, for a moment, their predecessors. Before the MP3 player, people had to purchase portable cassette or CD players. Not only were these devices much heavier and thus less portable than the MP3 player, but they could only play one CD or cassette at a time. Users would only have access to ten or twelve songs at a time. By comparison, even a small MP3 player can hold a few hundred songs.MP3 players also give users the ability to purchase only the songs they like. So, instead of paying fifteen bucks for a full CD with two or three hit songs, they can simply download them from the Internet for a few cents each. Like any innovative new technology, the MP3 player actually saves people money in the long run. What to look for? When choosing an MP3 player, probably the most important consideration is how you will be using it. Regardless of the manufacturer, the price and size of an MP3 player is often determined by its memory. As a general rule, the larger the player, the more memory it will have. The size of the player is of paramount importance when you use it to work out or while you travel. MP3 for Exercise One of the most common mistakes new MP3 player owners make is that they purchase a player that is much too large for their needs. Larger, heavier and more expensive units can store tens of thousands of songs. But is that much size and storage really necessary if you plan to use your new MP3 player for 45-minutes a day on the treadmill? It would seem to us that you would want a smaller, lighter player that can hold an adequate number of songs. And even some of the smallest MP3 devices can store dozens of albums. For example, a player with 1 GB of storage (one of the smallest) can hold about 240 songs. MP3 for the Car Let's be honest, CDs are out of date. Not only are they expensive, but they take up a lot of room. As a result, millions of drivers are connecting their MP3 players to their car stereos. This simple and inexpensive accessory can make the morning commute bearable. We recommend a slightly larger player than you would use for workouts. Four gigabytes of memory is more than enough. To connect the player to the audio system, you will need an FM transmitter, a Bluetooth transmitter or an iPod dock that is compatible with your car stereo. Check online to see which MP3 player works best with your audio system. MP3 for Audiobooks Because of its large storage capacity, compact size, and special features, the MP3 has become the medium of choice for audiobook lovers. The first thing to consider when buying a player for books is the size of the memory. Not surprisingly, books take up a heck of a lot more storage space than three-minute pop songs. Eight gigabytes of memory is enough to safely store a small audio library of books. It is also important to find a player that works with the most popular audiobook sites, like iTunes and Audible.com. Last but not least, bookmarking is a time saving feature that will let you save your place in the audiobook without having to fast-forward through hours of files.Regardless of what you plan to use your MP3 player for, these tips can help you find the one that's right for you.
