So how do you pick best mp3 player?

You pick one based on your daily needs and your budget. Mp3 player are not cheap. Considering amount of engineering it takes to get that music into such a small box, it’s a wonder they don’t cost more than they do. If you are a very active person who wants to take your player with you everywhere you go, experts recommend that you consider flash memory models.

If price is right and sound is good, then a flash memory player is great for people who like to workout and stay active. It will stand up a little bit better to all wear and tear on your system.

If you want to get player, but don’t plan on using it while working out, then there is jukebox model. Either one would be a good gift for friends and family, or for your self.

Another reason for limited choice is that, it is highly unlikely that they will get an agreement from every single record label to distribute their music online.

The quality of every online music catalog depends on Music Studios that are providing material. Established, and therefore popular artists usually switch labels at least once during their singing career. So you might have access to their newer materials, but not older songs, or vice versa.

6. No adware, No Spyware Legal music download sites like their offline retail counterparts are getting an actual fee for their service. They don’t want to scam or upset their customers by placing dangerous and annoying spyware and adware programs on their computers. The industry has even trouble getting payment from consumers so they won’t tamper with anything that leads a trail of cash behind.

7. Music Only You will have access to music files only. No free movies, games, clips, promos etc. are allowed without paying an extra fee. These items also require copyright approval before they can be distributed online. All fees, even a monthly subscription fee will not lead to an entertainment free-for-all.

8. Copyright Notice A clearly written copyright notice should be provided on stating a) The nature of site owner’s authorization to distribute legal music files online b) what you can do with files once you have paid for them c)and any limitations on either party as far as use and distribution of files.

9. No file sharing allowed You are only allowed to use files for personal use. Unlike a CD (physical product) you cannot purchase songs, use them and then sell them to another party or distribute them free of charge to friends, family, web surfers etc.

10. Backed by a big label? Most of legal music download sites are backed by at least one major music label. People are looking for songs that are hot, on radio, playing in clubs or on MTV. All of that commercial material comes out of studio system. If label does not provide material, subject to fees, taxes and copyright notices, then site cannot legally distribute them.
