Mp3 question.

So. Im plannin to buy a mp3.. Not a expensive one.

Actually, A rather cheap one, Probably the cheapest one i can find..

Anyway, How do i know how good the quality of the sound is?  Is there even any difference of the sounds quality between one that costs 50 or 500?

Gief halp =(

There is a difference in the quality of the sound.

For example, MP3 files are actually nowhere near the same quality as you would get on the actual CD. However this difference can only really be heard with a really good quality and loud sound system.

So for MP3 players ranging between $50 and $500 there is probably a difference in quality. But if you ar elooking to use it with headphones it will be very difficult to tell the difference.

I bought a $50 Rio mp3 player that held under a gig of data. (It was on clearance.)  It stopped working in under 2 months.

I own a 30 Gig iPod now. It's still working just fine after over a year.

That's rather anecdotal, but that's all I've got. Sorry. :P

I suggest searching product reviews for whatever player you are looking at.

I have a 1 gig Sansa and I'm perfectly happy with it. How many songs do you want to fit on your mp3 player?

And about the sound quality, it's not as much the mp3 player as the headphones or the quality of the mp3 file you want to listen to. They say 128 kbps is "near cd quality". It sounds fine to me.
