MP3 Player Speakers Buying Guide
Filed Under Computers | Leave a Comment
David Rahimi asked:
MP3 players are great for taking your music wherever you go for private listening. But sometimes you might want to share your music outloud with others. This is where MP3 Player Speakers come in. Whether you’re at home or at the basketball courts, you can listen to your music straight from your MP3 player outloud.
As with most technology, it can be hard to find the right speakers for your personal situation. In an effort to help assist you in finding the right docking station for your mp3 player, a list of things our product specialists recommend our customers to think about before buying MP3 Player Speakers has been compiled below.
Compatibility: First and foremost, you need to make sure that the speakers are compatible with your MP3 player. Some MP3 Speakers are designed specifically for certain types of MP3 Players, such as the iPod. On the other hand, many speakers are created to connect to almost any MP3 player with a 3.5mm jack. If your MP3 player has a 3.5mm jack (which is the standard jack for headphones), and you’re not too sure if your compatible, then you should get a universal type of MP3 player speakers just incase.
Size: Depending on what you plan to use the speakers for, the size of the system may be of importance. If you plan on taking it around, make sure that the system is small and lightweight making it portable. If you plan on just keeping it at home, then your only limited to the size of the table you plan to place it on.
Amplified Speakers: If you want louder and better sounding music, then getting a pair of speakers that feature a built-in amplifier would be a good choice. Otherwise, you should be just fine with a pair of normal speakers.
Controls: Take a look at how the control configuration is. Will it be easy for you to use the system? There’s no point in getting speakers that frustrate you to a point where you don’t want to use them.
Battery Life: What good are speakers that run out of battery after you play just a few songs? You should consider the battery life of the speakers. If you get a great deal on a pair of speakers but they have a low battery life, you may just end up paying more in additional batteries. Note that some MP3 Player Speakers can connect directly to your wall socket, so if you plan to use the speakers primarily when a wall socket is available, battery life will not be as an important a factor when determining what speakers are best for you.
Included Accessories: Check to see if the speakers come with all the necessary accessories. These can include things such as a 3.5mm male-to-male cable (in order to connect to your MP3 player to the speakers), Batteries, an AC adapter, Travel Case, Remote, etc.
Definitions:
Docking Station: An MP3 docking station has speakers built into it, which allows you to play songs off your MP3 player to be heard throughout the room.

The Downside of Itunes Mp3 Players
Filed Under Gps | Leave a Comment
MIKE SELVON asked:
Itunes mp3 players are a wonderful addition to someone’s electronic device stash, but they will only play a certain authorized musical format, and if a person has anything other than an iPod, they may be out of luck in using the music they purchased.
What can a person do if they have bought these forms of music for their computer, but have something other than an iPod for a portable mp3 player? Answers are available if one only takes the time to look and not get too frustrated with Apple.
Many may ask why their itunes mp3 players need to say iPod in order for them to work with music they have purchased. Itunes are protected because of the DRM or Digital Rights Management.
This group was created to ensure that musical piracy was hopefully stopped. The only problem with this is that when a person purchases iTunes for their computer and tries to transfer to a player brand other than an iPod the transfer fails. Many people do not realize this is an issue until it is too late.
Although these players are limited to just iPods, ways do exist to get around this road block. An easy method is to burn the tracks onto a CD.
Then an individual can open the CD in iTunes and the Convert Selection to MP3 option will allow a person to do whatever they wish with the music. What must be remembered is that when burning the CD, a person should burn an audio CD and not a data CD.
A data CD can keep a person from importing tracks from the CD. The only problem with this method is that a person will have two copies of their tracks. But, if one is persistent, then they can be assured that their efforts to make their itunes mp3 players compatible will not go wasted.
However difficult this may seem to convert itunes mp3 players music to use in any portable mp3 players system another way does exist to ensure that a person can listen to their purchased music without the use of an iPod.
Software exists to help one who has a huge amount of music on their computer to convert. Types of software such as NoteBurner or CD Emulator can help. Another brand of software is JHymn, and it can help a person to make sure their fair-use rights under copyright laws will help free the iTunes that a person has from the restrictions of the DRM.
The apple ipod ones are a great asset to have for the itunes mp3 players that they operate with. However, a person who has anything other than an iPod can be out of luck in a hurry.
If one is not aware of what they are doing, itunes can be purchased with the intent of transforming them onto a portable mp3 player. But, this is not the case, and one can spend a ton of money on something they cannot use in the future if they do not do through research.

I have a 30gb zune and there are a variety of car chargers available for it, but the main reason I want one is so I can listen to music through the car’s speakers. Do most car chargers for mp3 players let you do that?

R’ nway asked:
I’ve been looking for a new mp3 player, and I’ve narrowed it down to three contenders.
I’ve been looking for a new mp3 player, and I’ve narrowed it down to three contenders.
8GB SanDisk Sansa e280 (Flash Memory) ~$159
8GB Creative Zen Microphoto (Hard Drive) ~$169
8GB Creative Zen V Plus (Flash Memory) ~$169
Which of these would you recommend?
The main points I would like you to consider are user interface comfort, good scroll mechanism, and durability.
Right now, I’m leaning toward the Sansa e280. The reviews I’ve read of it seem to be the best.
However, someone mentioned that it only has 2 volume settings: normal and high.
Can anyone confirm or contradict that statement?
Thank you very much. Please feel free to answer just any part of this question that you can.
Based on comments here, and more research of my own, it seems that the volume in the settings menu is like the volume limit on the iPod. You set either a normal or a high max level, but it sounds like you can control the volume level the way you can on an iPod.
(By the way, I currently have a 2GB nano someone got me for a gift, but the size was too small and it didn’t handle subscription music. However, since I’ve been using that for a little while, I’m kind of a sucker for the scroll wheel as opposed to joystick or touch strip.)

I need to get a Mac for my studio production work, since I want to pursue it as a career. I **** iPods with a passion, so what I’m asking is, are there any other MP3 players I can use to connect to a Mac besides iPods?

Does anyone have problems with their Sansa MP3 players?
Filed Under Music & Music Players | 1 Comment
fax290 asked:
My sister, best friend, and I all have the Sansa e280 MP3 Player and they all constantly freeze and get stuck in loops or glitches. My MP3 did it first (when we first got them) and i took it back and got another one. All 3 (4) do the same thing. They can get stuck for days, and I am just waiting for one of them to break completely. I’m suprised to find no complaints about similar problems on the internet. Has anyone else experienced problems?

Tom Lopez asked:
MP3 players are the latest gadgets in the market making waves. Especially, liked by youngsters and working people, these tiny music players are a wonder to keep. Hundreds of iTunes can be loaded and played in a MP3 list. The good thing about a MP3 player is that you can easily categorize the music, make separate lists, shuffle them and enjoy the music for hours.
This simple and sleek, small strip sized player come in different variations. The most basic mp3 players would include a slot in which you can save hundreds of songs; play, stop and rewind buttons and a slot of voice recording. The design and color of this type of MP3 player would be plain and simple. The most common color of a simple MP3 player would be Black.
With new technology coming every day, MP3s’ too evolved. They grew from being simple audio player to complex multimedia device. Now they come with colorful displays and also play movies. Some of them can also record directly from TV or download and share content over Wi-FI.
Generally MP3 players can be categorized as flash memory players, hard disk players, and cellphone in-built MP3 players. All of these come with some of the most common features like volume limiter, a larger and wider display, video playback, controls like equalizer and FM radio tuner.
Much advanced MP3 players come in bright colors and have a greater storage space. You can also find MP3 players in top branded iPods. MP3 players found in iPods have much wider use and are also more popular than the simple ones. MP3 players in iPod have advantages of flashy and designer skins, Windows XP OR Professional platform, different music files like Wav, AIFF, and AAC. With the iPod features of video player and photograph watch, MP3 players get an added life.
Whichever MP3 player you take, do consider revising your checklist to buy a MP3 player. See to it that the weight of the MP3 is not too much, for all the good reasons extra bulk is not a good thing. Look out the headphone quality; after all you are buying MP3 to listen to music – if quality of sound is not good, there is no point in buying the MP3 player. Lastly, do check the battery consumption hours written in the fine print. The longer your MP3 player can run, the better you will enjoy the music!
