In the music universe, being number one means having the best of everything. From storage
space and versatility to style and functionality, engineers have been moving towards the
realization of that need. Not since the mp3 players and ipods have we seen the most amazing
array of music devices available for audiophiles and techno rats.
It is interesting to note that MP3 players and ipods have always been mistaken for each other.
And as hard as the brand managers try to differentiate their product from competitors, society
has the last say on which product makes it and what its nickname will eventually become.
MP3 players and ipods started out fairly the same; both are portable, audio players designed to
eliminate the need for compact discs. MP3 players and ipods play a variety of music file formats
from WAV, MP3, WMA, and MPEG to name a few. Both can also work as file storage devices.
However, MP3 players are flash drive storage devices only. They have a limited capacity of up
to 1 GB whereas ipods give the user a choice between a flash drive and a hard drive that can
store up to 60 GB in memory size.Learn More!
