The Journey of the Mp3 Player

Roberto Sedycias asked:
The MP3 Player is part of the revolution in this age of ever changing technology. It is the most recent entry in the music world. None of the previous models come near to the amenities provided by this MP3 Player. The bonus point is that you can hold it in your hand or slip it into your pocket carrying more than thousand songs as you move about. The whole contraption weighs less than an ounce. This point about portability has appealed most to consumers.
The revolution came about in the latter half of the 90`s. MPEG stands for Moving Picture Experts Group. The target was to compress into one device innumerable data - either audio or video. A person who is using an MP3 device with 1 GB storage capacity can carry 240 tunes that is the same as the amount contained in 20 CD`s.
The story of capturing music began in 1877 with Edison inventing the first phonograph. In 1887 flat zinc discs came to be incorporated. In 1896 the radio made its debut. Sony and Philips now took up the gauntlet and introduced one marvel after another - Walkman compact disc, 8-track magnetic tape etc. In 1989 the Fraunhofer Institute in Germany patented the MP3 format. The idea was to take off where audiocassettes left off. Philips and Sony came up with their version and the first MP3 players were introduced and sold in Korea.
The previous models of music players required mobile parts but a MP3 player uses only solid-state memory. It is a storage tool that has software embedded in it. It allows transfer of MP3 files to the player. The MP3 can also copy music not only from the radio but also from CD`s and Internet web sites. The list is organized for the convenience of the user. An MP3 is an amalgam of many technologies. The basics consist of data port, memory, micro and digital signal processors, display, playback controls, audio port, amplifier and power supply point.
The files of the MP3 are stored in the memory of the player. The types of memory are internal-flash, compact-flash, smart-media, memory stick and internal micro-drive. Except for internal micro-drive all the types are solid state. It means there are no moving parts and therefore more reliable with no hopping in the music.
The brain of the MP3 player consists of the microprocessor. Through playback controls the input is monitored. Information is displayed and directions given to the chip regarding the storage and playing of music.
Rechargeable batteries power all the MP3 players. It lasts for 10 to 28 hours. There are also AC adapters that can be plugged in to an electric point. Others have DC adapters that can be used in cars.
There are innumerable types of MP3 players. The choice depends on the load of music you want to store and how much you are willing to pay for it. Basically there are four types. A flash memory player is the tiniest and holds fewer songs. The hard-drive and mini- hard models are bigger and offer more storage capacity. The MP3 CD player and mini-disc models can contain 10 hours of melody. For this model a CD burner is required. The MP3 has not stopped in its tracks but with each passing day new amenities are being listed. It comes with satellite radios, DVD players, sunglasses, and even with an army knife! It is a hybrid culture within your budget.

Samsung, one of the leading electronic manufacturing company has created a buzz in the market by launching its two MP3 players - Q1 and U4 at IFA (largest consumer electronics trade shows in the world organised in Berlin). Inspired by the ‘Litmus’ color gradation effect in chemistry, the YP-U4 is conceptualized with the USB form factor and also combines DNSe 2.0 sound technology, FM radio and a one and a bit inch grey OLED display plus three LED lights. With a weight of 27 gms and measurement of 27×83x13 mm, the MP3 player comes with a battery life of 16 hours and also supports MP3, WMA, OGG. The U4 Samsung MP3 player is available in 2 and 4 GB capacity and one can choose the color from rose, purple and blue. The front surface of the U4 looks completely flush, which is possible due to to the touch-sensitive buttons. One of the main draw of U4 players is the price which is quite a steal at S$89 and S$129 for the 2GB and 4GB versions, respectively. In addition, the Samsung U4 music player is equipped with an integrated USB plug, which eliminates the need for cables and docking stations. This aids in the convenience with which this MP3 player is able to be plugged directly into a PC or Mac USB port, transferring files and charging the player. Barring the headphones, this is an all-encompassing device that eliminates the need for any additional accessories to operate the player’s features. This user friendly music player has created history in the electronic industry, thanks to the user friendly manual that allows one to “drag and drop” music files, sort play lists, and establish favourite data casts to upload automatically. Having a great sound quality, it is a must buy for one and all.
The shiny Q1 ‘Diamond’ model MP3 player on the other hand comes in a DNSe 3.0 sound technology including an audio upscale function, which claims to restore missing sound range. The company has immense hope in the product and is also aiming to make Q1 MP3 player as having ‘world’s best sound quality’. Bedecked with the automatic EQ effect, this device is able to analyses the mood and genre of the MP3 files and work accordingly. It’s compatible with the iPlayer, so one can transfer all the required and desired series in the MP3 player and catch up on the move. Besides this there is also an inbuilt FM radio with 12 preset ’street modes’ to accommodate noisy environments and to assist the owner with blocking out the jarring and poorly recorded rap coming from the mobile phones of many. Available at an attractive price of $79.99 (4GB), $109.99 (8GB) and $149.99 (16GB) Q1 is a sleekly designed player which will appeal as much to consumers’ eyes as their ears. A glossy finish, minimalist appearance and LED back lighting on the touch pad, QVGA LCD display and a bevy of useful bonus features make this product a hit in the electronic market.
These MP3 players come with visual support and is capable of offering a 2.4-inch TFT LCD display with 30 hours of playback for the music. This device too is available in black, white and silver variants carrying 4GB, 8GB and 16GB memory variations.
