MP3 Player Review: The Apple iPod

Syd Johnson

As you look for MP3 player reviews online, you will find that most of them are geared toward the largest player in the market, the iPod. The Apple iPod is now the most popular and best selling MP3 player on the market. The basic model has a 15, 20 or 40 Gig hard drive, can store up hundreds of minutes of music, has a long battery life, works on Mac and PC Computers and a very sleek and user friendly design.

Ultimate Song List
On the music side, all the songs on your system are arranged by Album and by Artists so it makes it easier to set up your playlist. The newest iPod model can hold up to 10,000 songs. Sync up with your PC or get your songs from iTunes and you will have an extensive list of songs in a few minutes.

You can carry the iTunes playlist around with you, but you can also burn them onto CDs and create new mixes and custom albums for your friends and family. It also has a helpful rating system so when you set it up to play randomly, the highest rated songs are played more often.

Play Music and Manage Your Schedule?
The newer iPod models also has a built in calendar function, to do list and alarm clock. Just like your old time radio, you can set it up to wake you up with a jolting alarm or your favorite songs. In keeping with the tradition of doing more than store and play music, there is a nice set of your favorite computer games including Solitaire and a Music Quiz game.

Huge Hard Drive Capacity
The 40Gig model has so much space that basically you can download any kind of text application from your computer and keep it on the iPod. Just for a frame of reference, that is the same amount of space that you will find on any basic or lower end Laptop or PC Computer.

Excellence is not cheap
The iPod is not the cheapest MP3 player that you will find online, but if you look at a fraction of the MP3 player reviews online, you will see that reviewers, and iPod customers agree that this one is the best MP3 players around.
