The Best Music Players

Many of you have written in asking us for advice. After all, there are literally HUNDREDS of different MP3 players with different styles, different capacities, different functions and of course different prices.

I thought I should make a concise breakdown right here to save you the time it takes to send me an email and await a response. Without further ado, I bring you

Top 4 Music Players

1...

Apple iPhone 3G

You may have guessed this would be our top pick. Firstly, aside from being a PERFECT music player, it replaces your phone, your GPS and if you want, even your home computer. That last one might be a bit of a stretch, but this thing really is that versatile.

So aside from the fact that it costs $30 less than a comparable iPod touch, the fact that it replaces so many expensive components and does the music player thing so well, there is no other music player worth the time of day. The iPhone takes number 1 in this best of 4 count down.

Apple iPod Classic

The iPod stole our hearts more than a few years back when it first released in all it's world changing glory. For those of you who are serious about music and movies and want simply a dedicated music player, the iPod Classic is for you.

A 120GB model will run you $250 (that's only $2 per gig!) and will last you, well... forever or until the next handheld media device comes out. Maybe it'll be a little chip you implant in your brain or something.  At any rate, until the next big thing comes along, this little guy will keep you entertained with WEEKS of music, movies and more. Thus, Apple's iPod Classic takes second place.

Microsoft Zune

For the same price as the 120GB iPod you can pick up a sleek and sexy 120GB Zune. It started out of the gate with zero momentum and seemed destined to be the biggest flop of all time. So... why do we name it number 3 you ask? Well, it turns out the zune is pretty darn cool. It has a great interface, it's totally customizable and you can even pick up a 4GB edition for only $140.

If you are looking for an alternative to the iPod that's just as good with a wider aray of price and size variations with extreme look customizability, check out our number 3 choice for best music player.. the Microsoft Zune.

Apple iPod Shuffle

This one is a quickie, because it's a cheapy. And now we'll stop speaking chinesey english. I know it seems like Apple has dominated this top 4, and well... they have. No, they didn't pay us or anything like that (though if anyone at apple is reading this, you can email us at info@musicplayerlocator.com about sponsorship and advertising opportunities!). We just like the products that apple puts out. If this site were about computers we'd be gushing about the iMac. For as little as $50 you can have an little piece of Apple love that will hold more than 8 hours of music. If you need more space, you can opt for 2 Gig shuffle to double your storage for only an extra 20 bux.

Happy Listening!
