MP3 Players round up
Product reviews > Hardware > MP3 Players

MP3 might not be the music industry's favourite technology, but for millions of music fans it has allowed them to listen to music on the go without the skipping problems of portable CD players or the quality issues of portable cassette players.

Hard disk based players like the Apple iPod are the current craze, with their ability to store thousands of tracks at a time. Smaller devices are also available that use flash memory, though the capacity of these players is significantly reduced.
