Today's hard-drive MP3 players offer more than massive music storage capacity. Most have brightly colored screens so they can double as photo and video viewers. Apple iPod: The latest-generation iPod is available in either white or black, has a high-resolution color screen and plays videos. With a memory of 30 GB or 60 GB, video iPods have the same storage capacity as older models but are thinner and lighter. Enjoy a huge number of songs, audiobooks and podcasts; store your digital photos and display them on the high-resolution color screen; or catch up on episodes of your favorite TV shows, downloaded directly from iTunes. Epson P-2000: If you want your MP3 player to replace not just your CDs but your photo albums as well, then check out the Epson P-2000. This multimedia storage device not only plays videos and music files, but its humongous 3.8-inch high-res display is specially designed for photo viewing. Its 40 GB hard drive can download photos from your digital camera via its memory card, and it also connects directly to compatible photo printers. Toshiba Gigabeat: Speedy downloads are the name of the game with the Gigabeat series from Toshiba. Transfers are lightning-fast from your computer's USB port, and a unique feature called CD RipRec lets you copy a whole CD in minutes, with just the touch of a button. Its bright color screen can display album covers while you listen. The Gigabeat is compatible with subscription music services, and it gives you more memory options than some of the other players, coming in 10, 20, 40 or 60 GB models. Sony Network Walkman: Let's say you don't care about viewing photos or videos on your MP3 player; you just want great-sounding music and long battery life. Consider the 20 GB Sony Network Walkman, which can provide up to 40 hours of continuous music playback with its removable lithium-ion battery. The sound quality is excellent, and Sony's SonicStage software and Connect Music Store just might give iTunes a run for its money. iriver H10: Want a durable MP3 player that will go the extra mile? With a color screen and 5, 6 or 20 GB of memory, the iriver H10 uses a minimalist touch-scroll interface with few parts that can jam or break off. It also ships with its own protective carrying case. Its rechargeable battery can be swapped out when it gives up the ghost, so the player won't need to be replaced for years. |
