Choosing an MP3 Player
Before purchasing a Dell MP3 player, consider the following: - How much music do you have?
- If you have a large music collection that is frequently increasing in size, consider purchasing an MP3 player with more storage.
- Where do you plan to listen to your MP3 player?
- For activities like walking and jogging, pick a smaller MP3 player. In this case, weight and size are more important than storage.
- What is the sound quality of your music?
- Higher quality sound takes up more storage space.
- Use this approximate calculation to determine how much space you need:
- 1 song (length 3min at average quality ) = about 4mb
- Which would you rather have; a lower price, or more storage?
- Try to find an MP3 player that balances these two factors according to your budget and needs.
Storage
Megabytes, gigabytes; these terms can get a bit confusing to the novice just entering the world of digital music. Not to worry, it's not that complicated. Simply determine how many songs you have (average is 12-15 tracks per CD), and use the conversion below to help you figure out how what works best for you. Remember, these are approximations. - 512mb (megabytes) of storage holds about 160 tracks
- 1gb (gigabyte) of storage holds about 240 tracks
MP3 Player Basics
Keep your MP3 player in great working condition for hours of music play by following these basic guidelines: - Never overcharge your MP3 player. Check your owner's manual for specific charging instructions and follow them precisely.
- Avoid exposing your MP3 player to extreme heat or cold. This shortens the battery lifespan.
- Use only approved chargers for your MP3 player. Generic chargers may fit, but the voltage could be slightly off.
- This will also ruin your battery.
- Purchase a carrying case for your MP3 player if it does not come with one.
- This small investment will keep your MP3 player from getting scratched, and help protect it if accidentally dropped.
