This is a guide for those who are looking for either an MP3, MP4, IPOD Nano, IPOD Shuffle, Non-Branded music players

In this guide I will explain the difference, similarities and the advantages that each of these players offer.  The basic things you need to know is that the MP3 players only play music while the MP4 players will play videos and music.  The most popular MP3 player of course is the IPOD Nano.  But did you know that the Non-Branded MP3/MP4 players are actually better and worth your money?

The IPOD

Apple has the 2gb, 4gb, 30gb, and the 60gb nanos.  The 2gb and 4gb can only play music and you cannot watch videos with them.  The 30gb and 60gb allows you to watch videos and listen to music.  Apple makes it hard on these players because you must use iTunes to use your device and you cannot use these devices as a portable storage device either.  The ipods also doesn't have an fm option and it does not allow you to digitally record anything.  The ipod is limited.
