How much do you know about MP3 Players?

I was looking for a new MP3 players for my son and I decided to visit some shops downtown. I've learnt a lot so far about those modern ways of listening to all the music you want!
Gathering some info on the internet I've found out that a MP3 player (a digital audio player) is an electronic device that stores, organizes and plays audio files. Some are also called portable media players, as they have image-viewing and/or video-playing support.
As all of you may know, the immediate predecessor in the market place of the digital audio player was the portable CD player, or "portable audio device".

Kramer was the first designer of one digital audio player, which he called the IXI. His 1979 prototype did not enter commercial production. Apple Inc. hired Kramer as a consultant and presented his work as an example of prior art in the field of digital audio players. In October 2001, Apple computer unveiled the first generation iPod, and in July 2002 the second one. The iPod series, which grew to include microdrive and flash-based players, has become the market leader in digital audio players.

There are several kinds of digital audio players, generally categorized by storage media: flash-based, hard drive-based or Digital Jukeboxes, MP3 CD and networked audio players. Many players have a built-in electrets microphone which allows recording. There are also professional-quality recorders suitable for high-quality music recording with external microphones, at prices starting at a few hundred dollars. Some digital audio players have FM radio tuners built in.
