How should I choose an MP3 player?

When shopping for the perfect MP3 music player, storage capacity and battery life are key considerations. Size is also important: You want your player to be comfortably portable.

You should also consider how any MP3 player will interact with your other devices. For example, will your MP3 player have the ports necessary to connect to your speaker system? Can it connect to your computer using a USB cord or pair with your Bluetooth headphones? These are important questions to ask before you buy.
