Media Player: Frequently asked questions

What types of Media Player are there and what determines a good product?

There are two types of Media Players. The first is a player that can play only audio files, and the second type plays both audio and video files.

The ability to play any file format and the quality of output.

Who should use a Media Player?

Anyone who wants to listen to music or watch movies on their computer.

Based on what criteria should you buy a Media Player?

The first thing that you should consider is the storage capacity. This will help you determine how much music, videos and photos can be stored in your device. You also need to check if it has a microSD card slot for additional memory expansion up to 32GB or 64GB depending on the model of Media Player that you choose. Another important factor is its battery life which determines how long it can play without charging again. It’s best to have at least 8 hours of continuous playback time so that even when traveling, there won’t be any problem with power supply since most people charge their phones while they are asleep anyway (unless they use solar chargers). Last but not least, make sure that the player supports all audio formats such as MP3/WMA/OGG/FLAC etc., plus video files like AVI /MP4/.MOV/.MKV etc..

Make sure the Media Player you are planning to buy is compatible with your device. You should also check if it has a good battery life, so that you can use it for long hours without charging again and again.
