• Flash MP3 Players:

  Though sometimes considered to be on the lower-end of the MP3 player market, players that use flash-based memory are typically smaller, lighter and more reliable, making them ideal for athletes. Higher storage capacities have made them more appealing. Some well-reviewed models include the iPod Touch and the Samsung S5.

• Hard-Disk MP3 Players

  MP3 players that use hard drives have achieved very high storage capacities. Top rated models include the Microsoft Zune 80GB and the iPod 80 GB.
