Digital players
A complete guide to buying and using MP3 and MP4 players, plus tips to rip music from a CD
Music has been portable for over 30 years now, but its impact has never been as groundbreaking as in this decade, with the digital music player. Digital music files and compatible players have revolutionised the way we acquire and listen to music.
Cost and convenience are the main reasons for this shift. Last year, the internet was the conduit for more than 40 billion music files, according to the International Federation of the Phonographic Industry. However, 95% of these were pirated.
Digital files, apart from being ubiquitous on the internet, can easily be ripped from CDs. Once in a format your player can recognise, these files can be loaded onto your player so you can listen to music on the go. Portable digital players win out over better sound quality than portable CD or cassette players because they are much smaller and lighter, and there’s no need to physically carry around your music. Technologically, too, these players have rapidly advanced through the years. Most players can now play video and support not just MP3 but also multiple formats.TO READ FURTHER...
