How do you choose an MP3 player?
Choosing an MP3 player
MP3 players can do more than just play music, so it's difficult to make the right choice. In your search, ask yourself the following:
- Do you want to use the internet with your MP3 player?
- Do you listen to music wirelessly?
- How often do you listen to music?
What do you want to use your MP3 player for?
It's important to first decide what you want to use your MP3 player for. Do you just want to listen to music, or do you want a player with integrated WiFi? This allows you to surf the internet as well as stream music online.
Do you want to use the internet with the MP3 player?
The MP3 players with integrated WiFi can do more than just play music. You can surf the internet, answer emails, and watch videos. When you choose an Apple iPod, you can download apps from the App Store. This way, you always have your favorite apps at hand.
Do you want to listen to music wirelessly?
Do your headphones or earbuds work via Bluetooth? In that case, choose a Bluetooth MP3 player. These allow you to connect your headphones or earbuds wirelessly to the player. This way, you won't be bothered by cables dangling along your body.
How much storage space do you need?
When you choose an MP3 player with WiFi, you can listen to music via Spotify. Do you want to play your offline files on the MP3 player instead? In that case, choose a player with expandable storage. This allows you to listen to an infinite number of songs from your collection.
