A player (from the English "player" player) is most often a portable device for playing sound and / or video. Before you buy yourself a brand new mp3 player, you should understand the basic criteria for choosing a player, so that you don't regret a bad purchase later.
Instructions
Step 1
Sound quality. This criterion is largely subjective and depends on several factors. Most of the modern models of well-known manufacturers hold a fairly high standard of quality. Bad sound is usually associated with an unsuccessfully compressed or encoded mp3 file, poor quality of the headphones that come with the kit.
Step 2
The amount of memory can be called the determining factor when choosing the player you need. You can buy either a super-compact model, but with a small amount of memory, or a fairly large and very roomy player. Most often, players are bought with a relatively small amount of memory - up to 4-8 GB.
Step 3
The presence of additional functions is also a determining criterion for choosing an mp3 player for many people, mainly young people. These functions are: a voice recorder, a radio (built-in FM tuner), an alarm clock, the ability to record arbitrary files into the player's memory (in other words, a player with this function can be used as a flash drive), the ability to record music from the radio, and much more. There is someone who likes it.
Step 4
Battery life. Most often, the battery is built into the player, so you won't be able to replace it with a new one if the battery runs out. The player will have to be charged. However, if you can do it at home as easy as shelling pears, you won't charge the player on a long hike. That is why the maximum operating time of the player without recharging is especially important for those who like to travel or listen to music for a long time. The indicator is also extremely important - the battery life, which can vary from five to fifty hours. In most models, this figure is ten to fifteen hours.
Step 5
The size and weight of the player. If earlier audio players were rather bulky, then modern mp3 players can easily fit in a clenched fist, they are convenient to carry on a belt or in a pocket.
Step 6
Player design and interface. Everything is simple here - everyone chooses the kind of player that suits him with color, shape, ease of use. As the saying goes: "The taste and color of markers are different."
