In your opinion, what is the best type of MP3 player? The iPod Classic 80 GB or higher. Actually, I think they only make 120 GB ones anymore.
What makes it the best? It has a ridiculous amount of space, so you’ll never have to pick and choose music to store on it. It’s only $200, making it a good “mid-range” iPod for someone who doesn’t want a tiny Nano but doesn’t want to spend big bucks on an iPhone. It’s made specifically for music, so if you want Internet, apps and other such nonsense, look somewhere else.
How is it superior to other MP3 players? Apple makes it, and Apple products are shiny, sleek and beautiful. Nowhere will you find a better looking MP3 player. It has a good, thin size, with just enough weight to give it a little heft. It’s efficient. Syncing music is quick. Simple menu systems and the scroll wheel make it very easy to use. It has all the cool little Apple features, like Genius (on the more recent ones). It’s invincible! I’ve dropped mine countless times and it’s suffered bruises and scratches but it still runs fine and now looks ruggedly handsome.

In your opinion, what is the best type of MP3 player? I hate to sound biased, but ever since I got my Zune HD, I’ve never wanted much else. It’s a platinum 32 GB Microsoft Zune HD.
What makes it the best? I love using the Zune Pass, which lets me download all the music that I want. It’s great because I love music and have no money to buy it all. Plus it makes suggestions on music I might like.
How is it superior to other MP3 players? It has an OLED screen, which is hands down the best screen to watch videos on. And the battery life is long because of it.
Does it have any flaws? Nope! No flaws in sight!

In your opinion, what is the best type of MP3 player? New Apple iPod Nano.
What makes it the best? It plays video and music and makes video recordings, and it’s small, so it’s easy to take with you when you go places.
What is your favorite feature of the iPod? Cover flow. When you turn the iPod sideways, the album covers show up.
Why is it superior to other MP3 players? It looks better and it doesn’t fall apart.
Does it have any flaws? The battery life is pretty short.
