Portable MP3 players are all the craze these days. It is rare to find somebody that either owns one or knows somebody that owns one. They come in many flavors from players that have built in memory to players with hard drives. Many have very portability factors and some don’t. They also have lots of different price ranges which I will also cover. I’m going to go over what you should look for when trying to purchase a cheap portable MP3 player.

Should you pick an mp3 player with a hard drive build in or memory built in? If you go for a memory based player then you will get a very light and compact player but it is limited to the amount of songs you can store. Most will only store up to 250 songs. So that is something to keep in mind when shopping. But what if you have a ton more songs than that?

You can go for a player that has the hard drive built in. Most that are on the market today have at least 2 GB of storage which will allow you at least 500 songs. And they also go way up from their.

Which are more portable? Well that also depends on you. If you want something that will clip on your clothing while you are running then I would go with a memory based mp3 player. Because these players don’t have moving parts they can make them much much smaller then you run of the mill hard drive based player.

Now if you want to be able to put you mp3 player in your pocket then the hard rive based mp3 players are perfect. Most of these are very compact now and will easily fit in your pocket. Some of them include the IPOD and Zune. Both of these players are great because you can find old models that are some of the cheapest portable mp3 players on the market. And it just because it is last years model.

Keep in mind when you are looking for the cheapest portable mp3 player is going to have to be the weight. If you have some big 4 pound player hanging off the side of you pants you will literally run out of you pants.

And last but not least I would look at the dimensions of the player. If you are running you don’t want some big 7×5 players that will make you look like you didn’t have you v8 today. Just make sure that you check the size of the player before purchasing because it is sometimes though to figure out how big a player is just from a picture. You could go into retail store and pick out the size that is best for you then go to my site and find the exact one you want at a highly discounted rate.

In closing to find the cheapest portable mp3 player available is up to you because of all the different options that are available today. If you want a small very cheap mp3 player I would go with a memory based player such as the iPod nano. If you are looking for a hard drive based player then the IPOD touch or Microsoft Zune are very good options and have tons of space for that music collection of yours.
