How to Find the Best MP3 Player

The best MP3 player for you will depend on your personal tastes and needs. There's no all-around great model for everyone. Lightweight MP3 players are more portable (e.g., for jogging), while bulkier ones have bigger screens. Which would you prefer? Either way, here's how to find the best MP3 player for you:

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Instructions

1. Decide what you want from your MP3 player. How big should it be? What colors would you consider? Do you need it to have any special features? How many songs does it need to hold? How much are you willing to spend?

2. Only consider the highest-rated MP3 players. Read reviews online, and find out which models have made customers the most satisfied. Don't sacrifice too much quality for cash savings; you might really regret it later on.

3. Look around your local electronics store to compare models, but when it comes time to purchase, go home! The best deals are usually online. Take the cheapest price you can get - so long as it's from a reputable website.

4. Ask friends for recommendations. If one of your buddies already has an MP3 player, ask if that model is worth buying. Look under the "resources" section lower on this page to start browsing top-rated MP3 players.
