PRICE RANGE

Let’s face it. In this realistic society, money is a very sensitive and important issue. Determine the budget you have/ willing to spend on the MP3.

CAPACITY

Are you a music junkie who loves thousands and thousands of songs or are you addicted to a few simple classics from different albums? 1Gb of space can store around 240 songs so choose your mp3 memory space as you need. You don’t want to have situations when you have to selectively delete songs in order to add more, do you?

FEATURES & FUNCTIONS

What additional features do you need? Are you someone who only listens to music or do you prefer listening to the FM radio or watching videos/ movies on the go? Do you need a built-in microphone or Bluetooth? Are you someone who is more comfortable with buttons with tactile feedback or you would rather have touch-screen function controls?

These points must also be considered carefully before purchasing your mp3. Make sure buttons aren’t too small for your fingers too!

LOOKS/APPEARANCE

Decide if you’re okay with a bulky mp3 player or a thin and small will do. Would you want it to be very portable and thin so that it can you can slide it into your pocket easily or you like it in a box shape/ look like transformers-inspired?
