How to Buy a Flash-Based MP3 Player part 2

Continue From previous title:How to Buy a Flash-Based MP3 Player part
The most important consideration for many is price. If you're looking for something for $100 or less, you've got plenty of options; you can expect few extras and a capacity of 1GB or less. For around $150, you can get a player with lots of extra features, and at $200 you start moving into the higher capacities like 2GB and up. The highest-capacity flash-based players cost $250 to $299, and I'm not expecting those prices to drop very much before the end of this year.


Your best bet for getting the biggest bang for your buck, of course, is to read PC Magazine 's MP3 player reviews and use our online comparison tool to see the differences among players side-by-side. And nothing beats going to your local electronics shop and checking out your potential purchase in person before plunking down your hard-earned cash.

Below are three of the best flash-based MP3 players I've seen so far. The iPod nano (up to 4GB) is still the winner in terms of style, ease of use, software/hardware integration, and sound quality. The Samsung Yepp YP-Z5 (up to 4GB) is very similar to the iPod nano in design and pricing. Its controls aren't quite perfect, but it does offer PlaysForSure support—as well as impressive 30-hour battery life. While not offered in the large capacities of the other two, the Cowon iAudio U3 (up to 2GB) blows them away on extra features. (And it is now PlaysForSure-compatible via a recent firmware upgrade.) The iPod nano has a constellation of optional accessories available for it to add in other functions like FM radio, and accessories for the Z5 are starting to appear as well. Find out what else distinguishes these flash-based MP3 players from one another in our comparison table.

If you're looking for a little flash in your life, one of these MP3 players could be right up your alley. Read on to find one that fits your listening needs.
