As we all know, there has been a tremendous explosion of MP3 music files in recent times. While the portable MP3 players have been available in the market for quite a few years, it is only lately that stiff competition has compelled manufacturers to add more features and offer them at lower prices.

With sound quality almost unchanged, the benefits of a portable MP3 player over a portable CD player are its physical size and ‘skip-free play’. Since MP3 files are completely digital, you can listen to your favorite music on your portable MP3 player anywhere you choose to – in your car, while running, skiing, mountain biking or, for that matter, any outdoor or indoor activity.

It is understood that portable MP3 player is useless without a computer to go with it. MP3 audio files are passed to a portable player from your computer. Each player comes with its own software that must be loaded on to your computer which enables the two to communicate. Each player has its own requirements for the accompanying computer’s processor speed, Random Access Memory (RAM), operating system and connecting port.

Almost all MP3 players require at least a 90 Mhz processor, 16MB of RAM, a serial or parallel port connection. They will work on Windows 95 and Windows 98 processors. Of course, some players require faster processors and more RAM and there are a few that will work on Windows NT or Macintosh operating systems.

Most portable MP3 players available in the market come with a standard 32 MB of storage space. With an average song of three minutes duration taking up 3 MB space, there is storage for about 10 songs. Some players come with 64 MB of storage or are expandable to 64 MB. Increased storage space is available in the form of a removable memory cartridge. This means that these players are infinitely expandable. It also means, that you are able to use these cartridges much as you would a tape or recordable CD.

Some players come with an array of extraordinary features like built-in microphone for recording, an internal rechargeable battery, an auto shut-off mechanism, a wired remote or a built-in FM radio. It goes without saying that additional features add to the price of the player, so it’s important to find the traits that are needed by you.

With an MP3 player, a consumer can create music lists of his choice and carry thousands of his favorite songs wherever he goes. Some people use the term iPod when referring to an MP3 player. But an iPod is Apple’s version and is not the cheapest MP3 player on the market. But with newer models coming out all the time, it is possible to find a used iPod at a discount. The MP3 players are of light weight and in some cases, weigh less than one ounce. Portability is a large factor in the popularity of the MP3, considering the comfort of carrying in comparison to a CD player. In addition, some devices provide additional technology, like video and photo viewing, alarm and calendar functions, and even cellular phones and Internet service. All portable MP3 players are battery-operated. Most of them come with a lithium battery that is rechargeable and can last between 10-30 hours. A lot of players come with AC adapters that can be plugged into a home outlet and some have DC for cars.

David Liu asked:


A digital audio player (DAP), more commonly referred to as an MP3 player, is a consumer electronics device that stores, organizes and plays audio files. Some DAPs are also referred to as portable media players as they have image-viewing and/or video-playing support. MP3 players are now regularly built into mobile phones, making them the most common form of digital audio player. In short, an MP3 player is a portable device that plays digital music files–although many MP3 players can do much more than that. They evolved from the portable cassette and CD players that we carried around in the 1980s and ’90s. Instead of bulky cassettes or scratch-prone compact discs, most MP3 players play files stored directly on the device. Aside from a pair of headphones, there is nothing extra you need to carry to enjoy your music collection.

An MP3 is a digital audio file compressed with a standard defined by the Motion Pictures Experts Group (MPEG). MPEG was formed to develop techniques for dealing with digital video; since most video also contains audio, MP3 was developed as an audio extension of that work. Officially known as “MPEG-1, Layer 3″, MP3 is a lossy compression algorithm that uses psychoacoustic modeling to reduce the size of audio files by up to 90%.

Psychoacoustics takes advantage of deficiencies in the human hearing system to throw away digital bits corresponding to sounds that cannot be heard. The human ear cannot hear soft sounds in the presence of loud sounds having a similar frequency; for example, a voice conversation becomes inaudible when a jet flies low overhead. This effect is known as auditory masking, and done correctly the discarded sounds will not be missed.

MP3 is a lossy algorithm in the sense that the original bits cannot be recreated from the compressed bits. In terms of hearing, however, MP3 is lossless because the human ear cannot distinguish between a CD recording and a properly encoded MP3 version of it. MP3s achieve this transparency at a bit rate of approximately 256 kilobits per second, or roughly one sixth of the 1.4 megabits per second required by the compact disc format.

MP3s can be recorded at lower bit rates, saving even more space, but audible differences begin to appear at rates below 128 kilobits per second. At these lower bit rates, MP3 can use a trick known as joint stereo to improve quality. Audio generally consists of left and right audio tracks. Joint stereo combines, whenever possible, the sounds common to both left and right tracks into one track. Instead of left and right, it has “common” and “different” channels.

Being an open standard, and therefore available to anyone, has played a major role in the widespread adoption of the MP3 file format. While specific implementations such as those by the Fraunhofer Institute may be protected by patents, there exist numerous open source implementations. MP3s were originally only playable on computers, but inexpensive, portable MP3 players such as Apple’s iPod have since been developed.

History

The immediate predecessor in the market place of the digital audio player was the portable CD player, which was sometimes referred to as a “portable audio device.”

Briton Kane Kramer designed one of the earliest digital audio players, which he called the IXI. His 1979 prototype was capable of approximately 3.5 minutes of audio playback but it did not enter commercial production. The related patents expired in 1988. Apple Inc. hired Kramer as a consultant and presented his work as an example of prior art in the field of digital audio players during their litigation with Burst.com almost two decades later.

The first mass-produced DAP was created in 1997 by SaeHan Information Systems, which domestically sold its “MPMan” player in the middle of 1998. The South Korean company then licensed the players to Eiger Labs which distributed them—now branded as Eiger Labs MPMan F10—to the North American market during the summer of 1998. The flash-based players were available in 16 MB storage capacity.

The Rio PMP300 from Diamond Multimedia was introduced in September 1998, a few months after the MPMan. It was a success during the holiday season, with sales exceeding expectations. Interest and investment in digital music were subsequently spurred from it. Because of the player’s notoriety as the target of a major lawsuit, the Rio is erroneously assumed to be the first DAP.

In 1998, Compaq developed the first hard drive based DAP using a 2.5″ laptop drive. It was licensed to HanGo Electronics (now known as Remote Solution), which first sold the PJB-100 (Personal Jukebox) in 1999. The player had an initial capacity of 4.8 GB, which was advertised to be able to hold 1200 songs.

In October 2001, Apple Computer (now known as Apple Inc.) unveiled the first generation iPod, the 5 GB hard drive based DAP with a 1.8″ Toshiba drive. With the development of a minimalistic user interface and a smaller form factor, the iPod was initially notable within users of the Macintosh community. In July 2002, Apple introduced the second generation update to the iPod. It was compatible with Windows computers through Musicmatch Jukebox (now known as Y!Music Musicmatch Jukebox). The iPod series, which grew to include microdrive and flash-based players, has become the market leader in DAPs.

In 2002, Archos released the first “portable media player” (PMP), the Archos Jukebox Multimedia. Manufacturers have since implemented abilities to view images and play videos into their devices.

In 2003 the first MP3 players were installed into mobile phones in South Korea and the first artist to sell songs as MP3 file downloads directly to mobile phones was Ricky Martin. The innovation spread rapidly and by 2005, more than half of all music sold in South Korea was sold directly to mobile phones. The idea spread across the globe and by 2005 all five major handset makers, Nokia, Motorola, Samsung, LG and SonyEricsson had released musicphones. By 2006, more MP3 players were sold in musicphones than all stand-alone MP3 players put together. The rapid rise of the musicphone was quoted by Apple as a primary reason for developing the iPhone. In 2007, the installed base of musicphones passed the 1 billion level, and today more than half of all moblie phones in the world have an MP3 player.

Although online music services such as RealNetworks’ Rhapsody also offer legal downloads through a subscription plan, the launch of the iTunes Store in 2003 established the model of selling individual songs and albums for purchase.

Operation

Digital sampling is used to convert an audio wave to a sequence of binary numbers that can be stored in a digital format, such as MP3.

Common features of all MP3 players are a memory storage device, such as flash memory or a miniature hard disk drive, an embedded processor, and an audio codec microchip to convert compressed sound into analogue form that is then played through the speaker jack.

Most DAPs are powered by rechargeable batteries, some of which are not user replaceable. Listening to music stored on DAPs is typically through earphones and stereo systems connected with a 3.5 mm jack.

Types

Digital audio players are generally categorized by storage media:

Flash-based Players: These are non-mechanical solid state devices that hold digital audio files on internal flash memory or removable flash media called memory cards. Due to technological advancements in flash memory, these originally low-storage devices are now available commercially ranging up to 32 GB. Because they are solid state and do not have moving parts they require less battery power and may be more resilient to hazards such as dropping or fragmentation than hard disk-based players. Basic MP3 player functions are commonly integrated into USB flash drives.

Hard drive-based Players or Digital Jukeboxes: Devices that read digital audio files from a hard disk drive (HDD). These players have higher capacities currently ranging up to 250 GB. At typical encoding rates, this means that thousands of songs can be stored on one player.

MP3 CD Players: Portable CD players that can decode and play MP3 audio files stored on CDs.

Networked audio players: Players that connect via (WiFi) network to receive and play audio.

Common audio formats

MP3 is the dominant format, and is nearly universally supported. The main alternative formats are AAC and WMA. Unlike MP3, these formats support DRM restrictions that are often implemented into files from paid download services. Open source formats, which are completely patent-free, are available – though less widely supported. Examples include Ogg Vorbis, FLAC, and Speex.

Most players can also play uncompressed PCM in a container such as WAV or AIFF.

Controversy

Although these issues aren’t usually controversial within digital audio players, they are matters of continuing controversy and litigation, including but not limited to content distribution and protection, and digital rights management (DRM).

Lawsuit with RIAA

The Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) filed a lawsuit with Diamond Multimedia for its Rio players, alleging that the device encouraged copying music illegally. But Diamond won a legal victory on the shoulders of the Sony Corp. v. Universal City Studios case and DAPs were legally ruled as electronic devices.

Jim Johnson asked:


A portable mp3 player makes it so easy to take your favorite songs with you almost anywhere that you want to go and under almost any conditions. Unlike CD players that have to read the digital music from a CD, mp3 players are much smaller and more compact. That’s because the data storage devices used are much smaller than CDs, so the players can be tucked into a pocket of your shirt or pants and be almost invisible as you listen. But there are already many models to choose from, so here are some top picks from examining online portable mp3 player reviews and customer feedback:

1. In the flash memory category, which is the smallest and lightest of mp3 players, almost everyone still favors the Apple Ipod Nano even though some other great players are starting to provide more competition. But Apple dominates in the mp3 player area and the Nano shows why. It has an impressive 2GB of memory which can hold around 500 songs. and is compatible with both Windows and Mac computers. The firmware is upgradeable which is also a plus to keep you up to date with the latest changes in the mp3 field, and has equalizer presets to help you adjust the sound to your liking. The display is especially good even in low light situations, so this model gets a solid pick.

2. In the micro-drive player category the RCA Lyra is a fine choice with 5GB of file storage. It is also compatible with both Mac and Windows and has equalizer presets for customized sound. It’s display is not quite up to the Apple standards, but otherwise, it’s a solid, quality player.

3. As far as hard drive mp3 players are concerned the nod again has to go to Apple with the Apple Ipod. Apple totally dominates this category selling almost 90% of the high capacity hard drive mp3 players on the market. The Ipod has 30GB of storage space and that is enough to store the entire song collection of many people. It’s display is again very good in all conditions, is compatible with both Windows and Mac, and comes with equalizer presets for custom sound. It also has the ability to play video files as well, with excellent picture and sound quality.

As you can see from the above list Apple is still producing the best portable mp3 players, and that is certainly reflected in the high number of units already sold to very satisfied customers. Expect that in the months and years ahead more challengers will emerge with better and better quality and features to give Apple a good run for the money, but at the time of this writing, Apple is still the best overall bet as voiced by many portable mp3 player reviews and consumer feedback as well.

Rose Li asked:


Like all electronic products, features for portable players are also full of jargon. As a reseller of portable DVD players it is important for you to understand these clearly for two reasons:

* Savvy consumers knows and understand electronics and are looking for an equally adept seller

* Novices need help understanding which product is right for them

Here is a list of terms which should help you go from zero knowledge to expert in no time:

** Disc Formats **

CD: Short for Compact Disc Read Only Memory (CD-ROM), is a pre-pressed compact disc that contains data accessible to, but not writable by, a computer.

CD-R: A CD-R (recordable) allows for content to be written once and read many times. This type of disc stores all types of media files.

CD-RW: This is a rewritable medium that allows for content to be written many times and read many times. The CD-RW can also be used to store different formats of content.

VCD: Also known as Video Compact Disc is a format for storing video on CDs, and is not dissimilar to a VCR in that you cannot skip chapters or view rich data, just fast forward and rewind.

SVCD: This stands for Super Video Compact Disk. This is a successor to the VCD and was meant to challenge the DVD format. Quality and storage capacity is superior to a VCD, but lower than the DVD.

DVD: Digital Versatile Disc or Digital Video Discs. They look like CDs but store six times more data and can display video in chapters.

DVD RW/ DVD+RW/ DVD-RW: These three terms essentially mean the same thing. These are rewritable DVDs. They can be rewritten close to a thousand times, making them very useful as backup media. The + and – and competing standards, though it is generally accepted that + is superior and therefore the industry standard for rewritable disks.

** Media Formats **

MPEG 1, 2, 3 & 4: These are compression standards for audio and video set by the Moving Pictures Export Group. The numerals refer to versions with MPEG 1 being the 1st and MPEG 4 being the latest. These standards apply across all transmission and distribution platforms.

MP4: This is another name of the MPEG 4-Part 14 standard created by the Moving Pictures Expert Group standards. This standard specifies compression for both video and audio. Commercially a number of manufacturers use MP4 on products that can playback both audio and video. However, this is misleading as MP4 products must be able to playback files with the extension .mp4.

WMA: Windows Media Audio is an audio data compression standard developed by Microsoft.

DiVX: This is a compression technique that converts lengthy video sequences into smaller parts without loosing too much detail. It uses the MPEG-4 compression standard.

XVID: The opposite of DiVX, is a compression technique and a direct competitor for DiVX. It also does video compression based on the MPEG-4 standard. The difference between the two is DiVX is proprietary while XVID is distributed under Gnu or is free to use.

MP3: Designed by the Moving Pictures Expert Group, this is a standard for audio files compression.

JPEG: This is a compression standard for photographs and is used by most digital cameras. Having this lets the user playback pictures from the camera on the portable DVD screen.

** External Ports **

AV In: Audio/Video input point to connect external devices like a video cam direct to the player

AV Out: Audio/Video output point for connecting DVD player to home TV, car system etc.

VGA Out: Video Graphics Array port, first introduced in computers now popular in portable devices, used to connect to LCD displays among others.

USB: Universal Serial Bus is one of the most common interface devices on a variety of platforms from computing to audio/video. With the USB you can hook up a whole host of devices to the DVD Player including mobile phones, laptops, computers, mp3 and MP4 players etc.

SD/MMC/MS Card Reader: Secure Digital/Multimedia Card and Memory Stick are all types of flash memory used in portable electronic devices from MP3/MP4 players, digital cameras, camcorders, mobile phones etc. A card reader for these devices ensures content on them can be played on the DVD player.

HDMI: High-Definition Multimedia Interface is an audio/video interface for transmitting uncompressed digital data.

It is the digital alternative to analog standards such as:

* RF

* Coaxial cable

* Composite video

* S-Video

* SCART

* Component video

* D-Terminal

* VGA

HDMI connects digital audio/video sources such as set-top boxes, Blu-ray Disc players, personal computers (PCs), video game consoles (such as the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360), and AV receivers to compatible digital audio devices, computer monitors, and digital televisions

S-Video: Separate Video is an analog video signal that carries the video data as two separate signals, lumen (luminance) and chroma (color).

This differs from composite video which carries picture information as a single lower-quality signal, and component video which carries picture information as three separate higher-quality signals. S-Video carries standard definition video (typically at 480i or 576i resolution), but does not carry audio on the same cable.

** TV Encoders **

PAL: Phase Alternating Line is an analog color encoding system used in broadcast television is large parts of the world. DVDs with PAL encoding will only play on players that can decode this signal.

SECAM: Developed in France, it is an analog color encoding system for broadcast television. It is primarily used in France, parts of Eastern Europe some former French colonies.

NTSC: Developed in the USA, it is an analog color encoding system for broadcast television. Primarily used in the US.

DVB: Digital Video Broadcasting is (or will be) the industry standard for digital video in many countries around the world. It is used for satellite, terrestrial and digital terrestrial for portables (including mobile broadcasts).

ATSC: Advanced Television Systems Committee standard defines a digital broadcast standard for the US, Canada, Mexico and one or two other territories.

** Miscellaneous Terms **

Aspect Ratio: Aspect ratio is the fractional relation of the width of a video image compared to its height. The two most common aspect ratios in home video are 4:3 (also known as 4×3, 1.33:1, or standard) and 16:9.

Signal to Noise Ratio: Signal-to-noise ratio compares the level of a desired signal (such as music) to the level of background noise. The higher the ratio, the less obtrusive the background noise is.

Screen resolution: This refers to the number of rows and columns of pixels in the LCD display. So a screen with 800×600 resolution means it has 800 rows of pixels and 600 columns.

Bit rate: Bit rate is a measure of the rate of information content in a video stream. It is quantified using the bit per second (bit/s or bps) unit or Megabits per second (Mbit/s). A higher bit rate allows better video quality.

Modulation/Demodulation: This is a method of transferring digital data stream and converting it into an analog stream.

FFT Pattern: FFT refers to Fast Fourier Transform which is the algorithm used to unscramble the digital signals broadcast by television stations and broadcasters.

A FFT pattern is used in DVB-T transmissions and usually refers to signals being modulated for 2048, 4096, or 8192 carriers (2k, 4k, 8k mode, respectively).

FEC: Forward Error Correction is a system sending extra data with transmissions so that the television stations can quickly establish the cause of errors and fix them.

NES/SNES: Nintendo Entertainment System/Super Nintendo Entertainment System. These are gaming consoles released by Nintendo in the early 1990s. Many third-party devices come with these built-in, including portable DVD players.

ESP Protection: Electronic Skip Protection basically ensures playback of audio/video is skip free especially when mobile…say in a car.

** But why do YOU have to know all this? **

The digital consumer is aware of the interoperability between various digital formats and is generally looking for products that can double up in more than one function.

For example: a portable DVD player with a big enough screen to play back stills from a digital camera might mean the consumer will prefer to spend less on a camera with a big screen and use the portable DVD player instead for viewing pictures.

This is possible with the addition of the SD/MMC/MS card reader.

Similarly most family vacations today have a camcorder as a must have. For these consumers the ability to playback home videos on a larger screen is a must have.

A portable DVD player that accepts multiple video formats including NTSC, PAL SECAM etc. makes it more useful.

The ability to receive multiple TV input signals is essential given the changes taking place in broadcast technology. With Digital TV broadcast signals replacing analog across the world, it is essential that the portable DVD player have the required inputs to play the different TV formats.

Gaming is another “nice to have” feature on a family vacation.

The ability to either plug into existing gaming systems or in fact have a built-in gamer goes a long way in making a sale.

By knowing what the terms mean you are a long way towards knowing who to aim particular portable DVD players at and what features to play up and which points to ignore.

So get out there today, start studying up improve your listings and start selling to a wider market. Your bank balance will love you for it.

Now you know what the terms mean start listing portable DVD player models that have the features your customers want. See them now at Chinavasion.com or paste this URL into your address bar:

Roberto Sedycias asked:

Many people have this notion that there is no such thing as MP5 player and this is a gimmick of portable music player manufacturers to trick gullible consumers into buying the same old portable music players with no additional advanced features. But MP5 player actually does exist and it gives a number of advantages than MP3 or MP4 player.

Basically Mp5 player is an advanced version of portable digital media player that do more than just playing music files. Some might argue why to go for MP5 player, especially when they are satisfied with the performance of their MP3 or MP4 players? Well no doubt MP3 players have created a niche for themselves, but technology is changing everyday and hence it`s essential for you to keep updating your portable digital music player in order to synchronize itself with the latest technology. So it can be said that this new MP5 player is a technological transformation of earlier Mp3 player.

Now let`s discuss some advance features this MP5 player has which enable it to stand out from its earlier avatars.

Expandable memory:

How many times you have felt disappointed when your mp3 or mp4 player has no more space to store more songs or videos? Well with MP5 player, you can now store as much information as you like. It has built-in SD and MMC card slots through which you can expand the memory capacity of your mp5 player as and when you like.

Support to other advanced technology:

This new MP5 player have embedded features through which you can synchronize your portable media player with more advanced technological features to avail Wi-fi, Blue-tooth, GPS (Global Positioning System), DVB-T and many such functions. This is delightful news for music lovers because earlier these facilities weren`t available in MP3 or MP4 players.

Built-in DV camera:

Now you can record videos with the built-in DV camera and with its expandable memory you can store as much as of your favorite videos. What is more, mp5 players support a wide range of media formats which offers you some great options to choose from.

Better TFT screen display:

This feature is a respite for those who are dissatisfied with their MP4 players` inability to play high resolution videos. With a 2.4 inch vivid color TFT display screen, Mp5 player promises to offer you an incredible viewing experience. The device supports a wide range of digital formats such as RMVB/ MOV/RM/ AVI/FLV/ ASF/MP4/WMV/3GP/MPG and has also a slide show functionality feature. Hence, no more painful memories of low resolution videos on your portable media device .

Transcoding movies:

With MP3 or MP4 player you could only play video as per the standard format. But with MP5 player, you can download movies/video directly from net without any conversion. Now you can you can transcode movies into RealMedia`s RM and RMVB format video from movie or video websites to your mp5 player via the built-in USB 2.0 connector.

Now no matter wherever you go, you can carry your favorite movies along with you. What`s more, you can also upload digital books and novels to this MP5 player. I think this is the best feature offered to you by any portable digital media player.

Besides these advance features, the MP5 player also features build in FM radio, rechargeable battery and build in speaker. Its voice recorder feature allows up to 1120 hours of voice recording. The USB hard disk allows storing different types of files.

Alden Jerry asked:

Music had always been the heartbeat of human being. It acts as the best stress buster for everyone. Infact, music and living beings have a deep rooted instinctive connection. Even animals, who may not have finer expressive folds on their face or enough creative intelligence, tend to enjoy melodious songs and instrumentals. Due to this instinctive connection, music is one of the oldest invention of mankind. Starting from the ancient classical songs to the present hip-hop and rock mania, music and musical instruments have evolved unbelievably. The latest musical instruments are far more sophisticated and have amazing clarity compared to the age old record players or cassette players. Initially, such instruments were expensive.
