What are portable mp3 players?

A portable MP3 player is an electronic device that can be used to play music and audio tracks in digital format.  Normal digital sound files such that those on your music CD have numerous acoustic signals which combine to give you the music or song that you desire. 

However, the human ears and brain cannot perceive a large number of these signals.  So an electronic process called “ripping” is used to strip away these signals, allowing the file to be compressed from approximately 50mb to 4 or 5mb.  These compressed files can then be played on your portable mp3 players, and you can listen to them using headphones or earphones or ear buds.

Our Inexpensive mp3 players versus name-brand mp3 players

If you take a look at Apple’s website, you’ll see that their 2gb Shuffle costs $69.  Our 4gb mp3 players cost just $39!  That’s twice the flash memory capacity at less than 60% of what the iPOD Shuffle costs!  We stand by the quality of our portable mp3 players, and we are sure that you will be satisfied with the 4gb mp3 player that you purchase from us.  Then there is the practical aspect of buying an inexpensive mp3 player from us.  You are probably buying one for your teenager at home – and we know exactly how “careful” teenagers can be!  If your teenagers were to lose or damage their portable mp3 players, would you rather buy 2gb iPOD Shuffle for $69, or get a 4gb mp3 player from us for less than $40?

Flash Memory Capacity

Our customers often ask us to recommend a flash memory capacity for their portable mp3 players.  A typical mp3 file is about 4 or 5 mb, so you can store 200 to 250 songs in each gigabyte of flash memory.  So you can usually store 800 to 1000 songs on one of our 4gb mp3 players.  Also, 4gb mp3 players are currently in the “sweet spot” in the market.  In other words, you get the most memory for your money when buy our 4gb mp3 players.  However, if you choose, we also carry 2gb mp3 players.
