Cheap Mp3 Players

When they first came out, I honestly thought that iPod MP3 players were just a passing fad. There were no cheap MP3 players at that point, and I couldn't figure out why it made more sense to get them than to just get a portable CD player.

After all, most people already had their music on CDs, so all they required to have truly portable music was a CD carrying case. Even when the first low cost MP3 players started to come out, I still discounted them. I hadn't expected downloading mp3s online to ever become a legitimate thing, you see. I figured that it would wither and die as the RIAA put pressure on the federal government to crack down on illegal file sharing. I had never realized that one day it would become so mainstream.

In some ways, I am glad that I waited. Just a couple years ago, cheap MP3 players were of the lowest quality. A typical cheap MP3 player would only be able to hold a couple albums, and it would be made out of substandard parts.

For about 50 dollars, you could get a low cost MP3 player that might just might last for a year. One of my friends let me listen to his. It actually had static coming out when it played! Apparently, there was a short in the wire even though he had just bought it!

Needless to say, The MP3 player has come a long way since then. Even the most high priced digital music players are more affordable than they used to be, and the cheap MP3 players are every bit as good as a high quality ones were a year or two ago. The cheapest MP3 players can contain several albums at this point, and you can usually pick one up for less than 50 dollars. If you ask me, this is a bargain.

Of course, now that I see how much this technology is becoming the standard, I have thought about investing in something a little bit better. I had wanted to get cheap MP3 players just so that I could trade songs back and forth with friends, but if it is going to be become my primary way of listening to music, I would rather have something a little higher quality. I have done some research, but I haven't decided yet. After all, there is a new MP3 player coming out virtually every week!
