If you'll just be listening to a small playlist of less than 200 songs, any player under 4 gb will do. If you're planning on storing several large videos, consider a player with at least 8 gb of space.

If songs are all you're concerned about, ignore the players with video support.
3) Player/Screen Size - This feature is simple. If you want a larger usability screen, buy one with a larger screen ( 2.5 - 3" ). If screen size is not important, ignore this factor. Some players don't even have a screen to begin with.
4) Software - You may choose players based on the type of software used to sync, copy, and load songs. Popular brands like the Zen, Zune, and iPods each have their own software for managing songs, videos, and photos. Look into the programs ease of usability and versatility.
