Determine Your MP3 Player’s Needs: Because MP3 players can deliver a variety of functions and can come with different features, you need to determine why you need an MP3 player. For instance, how much storage space do you need if you are using it for song? Each MP3 song is about 2.5-3MB in size and about 333 songs will fit on a 1 GB MP3 device. Do you plan on using it for watching videos? (Joining a movie subscription service?) Will you be taking the MP3 player with you everywhere you go? Remember, the latest MP3s will have more features.
Price Range: MP3 players’ prices will vary. The more features they have, the more you will pay for the MP3 player. You should figure out how much you can afford to spend.

For instance, http://consumersearch.com is one website that offers many professional user reviews for just about every MP3 player. There are also a number of websites that offer consumer user reviewers. You can also watch MP3 demonstrations that are available on most company’s websites. As well, you can search Google to find consumer reports about various MP3 player brands. C-Net and ECheck are two examples of consumer reports sites.
MP3 Player Accessories: Along with the actual purchase of the MP3 player, you will want to purchase useful MP3 accessories such as a MP3 player case-cover to protect it from scratches and damage. Other accessories include: transparent screen-resistant cover, carrying case, AC adapter, Arm-band holder or exercise "pouch", ear buds or headphones, car charger battery, USB radio transmitter, emergency battery converter, and an extra battery.
MP3 players are popular devices that are in great demand. There is so much you can do with a MP3 player making them a great investment. When you purchase an MP3 player, it is important to understand the warranty and how long the device is covered in case there is a problem.
