Your Favorite Music Anywhere - MP3 Portable Players Combine
Listening Pleasure and Convenience
Love music? Now take your favorite songs anywhere with one of the hot new mp3
portable players on the market. Some are as tiny as a pendant. And from the
deepest lows to sharpest highs,
the digital sound is fantastic!
Made by Apple, iPod is synonymous with portable mp3 players. The
popular iPod Shuffle is about the size of a pack of gum. The
Dell Jukebox and portable players from Creative Labs, Archos, iRiver, Rio, Sony,
Samsung, iRock, and many more have an incredible array of features.
Easy-to-use software lets you rip tunes from your CD collection in mp3 format and load hundreds or even thousands of songs in your player.
Some players can even burn tunes directly from a built-in FM tuner, a CD player,
or other source.
MP3 Revolutionizes Music Enjoyment
Until 1989 the traditional digital music format was the WAV
file. Basically a digital conversion of the analog wave-form signal, it provided high quality sound recordings.
But a 4 to 5 minute song
consumed up to 50MB of memory. By selectively discarding sounds inaudible to the
human ear, the mp3 format was able to store the same
song in less than 5MB. Some formats like WMA and OGG can cut that to around 2MB
with even higher quality sound.
With the advent of flash memory and tiny hard drives known as micro-drives,
by the late 1990's manufacturers
began introducing small digital music players. And today some
portable music players can store thousands of songs, photos and other data in a
portable player about
the size of a deck of cards!
