When comparing Jukebox MP3 Players, there are many different things to consider.

Different mp3 players will suit different people. Some want to download music and have all their music stored on one massive unit. While others want a small and compact MP3 Player to use at the gym or when they are out running. One thing that everyone wants is  that they should be easy to use, affordable and reliable.

If you are one of those people who want loads of applications and be up to the minute with technology then the iPod Touch is probably your best bet. It is versaitle and has a high storage capacity. It also has the ability to play back videos as well as music while giving you the chance to surf the internet and download songs direct from i-tunes.

There are many imitators to the iPod. Is a jukebox mp3 player really that different? No – they are not.

The likes of Dell, Creative, Zen, and iRiver create some truly remarkable Jukebox MP3 Players of their own which in some cases make their players so much better than what Apple produce.

The sound quality is always important and Apple, in fairness, are up there with the best but in the majority of cases there is no noticeable difference between a player costing $200 to one that cost $20 because technology is so far advanced these days that excellent quality can be produced at the lowest prices. The trouble is that people are very taken in by word of mouth and marketing and the iPod is legendary, mainly because it was the first of its kind and has always had the upper hand.
