Music helps to relax and refresh the mind, taking away tensions and frustrations. You can listen to music while working out in the gym, taking a walk or while travelling. A convenient way to listen to your favourite music anywhere and anytime is with a portable music player. These portable players let you listen to your favourite music on the move and are designed to store and play MP3 (audio) files.

MP3 is a digital audio encoding format that compresses audio data using the Motion Pictures Experts Group Phase 1 or MPEG-1 standard. The MP3 format is designed to compress the audio file size without compromising on the sound quality. Most of the MP3 players are also designed to play multiple file formats such as WMA, MIDI, AAC, ASF and digital audio formats. Some of the advanced MP3 players also let you view videos and images. They may also provide features like an alarm, a calendar, a radio, and a voice recorder. Generally, earphones are provided with the MP3 players to listen to music and they can be easily connected to the player.

A range of different MP3 players is available to choose from. Hard-drive based MP3 players are generally large in size. These players provide a large memory space, letting you store more songs. Micro hard-drive based MP3 players are generally smaller in size, yet provide considerable memory space. Both the hard-drive based and the micro hard-drive based MP3 players have moving parts that can cause skips in the playing track if the player is moved about, resulting in a crackling sound.

MP3 CD players are also available so that the songs can be stored on CDs in MP3 or other formats. Flash-based MP3 players are lightweight and compact. These flash players may have built-in memory space or an external removable memory card. They are available in a variety of colour choices and designs, so you can pick one that suit your style.

MP3 players are usually powered by rechargeable batteries. The latest MP3 players allow you to connect the player to a computer using the USB port for transferring music. Most of the MP3 players are equipped with screens that display information about the song. The latest MP3 players are also equipped with a LED-backlit and colour TFT LCD screen. A number of accessories are available for MP3 players including clips, armbands and special MP3 pouches that let you carry the players conveniently wherever you go.
