Flash Memory or Hard Disk: The songs that you download on to your digital music player will be stored in memory. Flash memory modules usually have smaller capacities than hard disks. Common flash memory capacities on the market today are 4 gigabytes (GB) and 8 GB, which hard disk capacities can range up to 160GB. A few things to note about units with hard disks – they are typically more expensive than MP3 players with flash memory; they usually consume more power (more frequent recharging or more batteries) than flash memory units; a jolt or bump can cause “skipping”; a hard enough jolt or bump can damage the spindle mechanism of the hard disk.

Storage Capacity: How much memory do you need in your player? Typical music tracks in MP3 format range in size from 4MB to 5MB. The other consideration is market conditions. Built-In Battery or External: Your digital music player will be powered by a battery. Units that use AAA batteries are typically larger, and also have longer play times.
