If you are a music lover, for sure you would like to own an MP3 player that really suits your needs, whether it’s brand new or otherwise. Your needs may vary: an mp3 player that holds lots of songs; on that has an FM tuner; or even an mp3 player that is easy to sync with?

Choosing the best mp3 player depends on your specifications. What features do you want? Do you plan to use the MP3 player to work out or jog? If so, you probably want to look at a FLASH memory player (right now, anything less than 20GB in storage size is pretty much a flash memory player). These are less fragile, and have fewer moving parts. Ipod Nano & Creative Zen V or V plus, or the Sandisk e200 series are some examples from this category.

Do you want an FM radio? If so, then know that the iPod doesn’t have that feature unless you buy another $50 add on. Most other players do have an FM tuner. Do you have more than 10GB worth of music? Then you want a HARD DRIVE based player, instead of a flash based player… the full sized iPods, the creative Zen Vision M, the Toshiba Gigabeat, etc.

Do you have a lot of music in WMA format? Do you plan to use subscription services like yahoo! music, or rhapsody, or Napster to go? If so, iPod is out. You need to look at other players that support that technology.

If you want to accessorize, then the iPod is the choice for you. Hundreds of cases, speakers, add-ons, etc. more than any other brand of player. If you watch video on your mp3 player, you can pick from the newest iPods, the Zen vision M, the newest gigabeat, etc. Each different player supports different file types. Most will require you to convert the files. If you don’t care about video, you can probably find an older or used player to satisfy you.

Not only for your personal needs but that kind of best buy gadget can be a unique gift idea for someone special. No need to treat her or him out on a travel trips but this thing alone would surely make her or him feel special.
