Music players have come a long way from the Walkman of the 80s (Heck, the kids today have no idea what a Walkman even was). Today, there are different brands and models for music fans to choose from.
Hands down, the most popular would be Apple iPods, Apple iPod Touch (32GB) selling between $479.99 and $499.99, which comes with a big, video-worthy screen (3.5in), cutting-edge interface, and Wi-Fi Internet, e-mail, and music download capabilities.
Unfortunately, the iPod Touch, 2.4" W x 4.3" H x 0.3" D in size, may be a bit too pricey for some and only has a small capacity for a portable video player.
Nonetheless, the iPod Touch is a beautiful product inside and out and a lot find it worth its cost. Plus, it's an iPod!
A good alternative is the Microsoft Zune that features: a 3.2-inch glass LCD; user-friendly interface; superb navigation control; audio and video podcast support; excellent FM radio with RBDS information; wireless syncing and sharing; high quality earphones; rewritten Zune Marketplace PC software; Zune Pass subscription music support; high audio quality; built-in composite-video output; and measures exactly the same as the Ipod Touch.
The thing about the Zune, though, is that it is a PC-only device that requires its own software and still doesn't support older WMA-DRM9 music files. Moreover, the Zune Marketplace doesn't offer video downloads and the USB connection is proprietary.
It is, just the same, a worthy iPod alternative priced at only $237.49 - 249.99. I am sure there are other players that are priced lower but these two are the gian
