Some choices:
Type of storage: Flash memory or Hard drive.
Additional features: FM radio; Audio recording; View pictures and video.
Price: Spend a little or a LOT!
- Flash memory players are currently available with storage up to 1GB.
Prices are dropping on these gizmos and most department stores sell them.
Absolutely no skipping with flash. Many players also have a built in FM
radio. Many models also record from a built in microphone as well as FM.
Some units can also record directly into MP3 from a line-in jack.

- Hard drive players have more capacity, are more expensive, and are more
delicate. You don't want to drop your $400 iPod onto a concrete sidewalk.
That being said, many of these players also have more capabilty, like being
able to view pictures and full motion video.
