Understanding Hard Drives – MP3 Hard Drive Players
Aug.05.2009 
In regard to the MP3 players, or the digital audio players, there are three main drive types a person should know about: the MP3 CD players; the flash-based player that are low-storage devices; and the hard drive-based players or digital jukeboxes. The last one refers to a device that reads any digital audio files from a hard drive. They are considered better as they have higher capacities, ranging from 128M to 8GB. Solid state with no moving parts, they are considered very resilient. It is projected that flash-based media will surpass the hard drive based players, making them obsolete. Images and video media support is becoming quite accepted among hard drives, due to their capacity and physical size. So with all this in mind, it is time to look at how it relates to the MP3 devices and what you want to buy.
The first thing in picking the right hard drive player is to decide just what you are hoping to get out of the device. Are you looking for a hard drive player that can hold a few audio books for a long trip? Are you looking for a hard drive player that can hold your entire music collection? Or are you just looking for a hard drive player that looks pretty? Hopefully it’s not the last option or you may want to consider a nice, shiny walkman. If you are simply looking for a hard drive player that will hold an audio book or two then one of the more affordable players with a few gigs of memory should do just fine. If you are looking for something to store your entire music collection on then you need to do a little math. Currently you can find hard drive players with memory space from 1GB of memory all the way to 60GB of memory – so, how much do you need?
With a massive music collection, you are looking at a pretty high end hard drive player, unless you are willing to weed out all of the songs you don’t want off of every CD. This takes forever and is strongly discouraged. It is difficult for some to grasp just how much music you can fit on to each size of hard drive player, but a general rule of thumb is 500 songs per gigabyte. So 4GB will give you roughly 2,000 songs and 60GB will give you around 30,000 songs.
Finally, decide what types of extras are important to you in a hard drive music player. Do you want to be able to view photos, watch videos, or do both? Would you like to have an FM tuner or recorder? Is optional data storage important to you? Is it important for you to have accessories (belt clips and cases, etc.) for your hard drive player? You may not want any of these, but it is best to choose which you would want because almost all of the MP3 devices will come with something “extra” now to entice buyers into their stores. So, you might as well get something now that you will use later on.

If you are thinking about purchasing a MP3 player, then you should know that there are many types and brands of MP3 players out there on the market today and it is going to be a little tough finding the right one for you however, I am going to tell you about one type of MP3 player so that you have that one under your belt as far as the knowledge part goes. It will be up to you to get on the internet or look in magazines to find just the right one for you, but if you are lucky I will be able to save you some time there as well by telling you about the Rio MP3 player.
The first thing that you need to consider when you are fixing to go out to purchase a MP3 player, is what is going to be your main purpose for the MP3 player that you are purchasing. Are you going to use it strictly when you exercise? Are you going to use strictly for the work and home commute? Are you going to use it when you are at home relaxing on the couch? The reason that it is so important that you know that information is because of the fact that these factors need to be taken into consideration whenever you are thinking about making a purchase so that you are able to make the correct type of purchase.
The second thing that you need to consider is what type of Rio MP3 player, do you need. Do you need a hard drive player or a flash based player? A hard drive player is known for having more memory than the flash based players have. These types of players can range ideally range from one point five GB to twenty GB of music or data storage. However, you should keep in mind that the hard drives consist of moving parts so this type of player would not be good for someone that is going to be using it while exercising. The flash based players are strong and rugged. However, when it comes to capacity you will see that the hard drive has the upper hand as far as that is concerned. Theses particular types of players have anywhere from one hundred and twenty eight MB to Five hundred and twelve MB of space for you to use as storage.
