By Anne Ahira

Just a very few years back, the terminology Jukebox Mp3 Players were being used by many different corporation to describe their items. Dell is one of the leading ones that come to mind.

Nevertheless, some of those initial jukebox MP3 players have gone the way of the dinosaurs and are mainly reachable through online trading sites by some people who want the money to get an iPod. Yet, the terminology itself nowadays usually points to a player with great capacity hard drive. We may look at a little preferences and check out the dissimilarities in what people see as "huge" below.

Creative Zen Mozaic

If you really want jukebox MP3 players which are different in appearance, this model from Creative Labs is absolutely going to be a great winner. The highlight is the keyboard which literally looks like a mosaic therefore the name.

Outer appearances are also important with this model which comes in black, silver, and pink, plus optional skins that can change up its appearance even more. Besides what it looks like, these jukebox MP3 players have plenty of features, including a 1.9 inch screen, ability to view lots of different types of media, an audio recorder, and even a built-in speaker so you can share your music with others.

The key to jukebox MP3 players is always their memory capacity, however. With the Creative Zen Mozaic, you can choose from 2GB up to 16GB which equals to storage space for 500 to 4,000 songs. Prices range from $60 to $150.

Microsoft Zune

Trying to beat Apple at the jukebox MP3 players game can be a real challenge as Microsoft has been finding out with their Zune. If there were no iPods, Microsoft would probably be winning the battle because the Zune has plenty of features to love.

One of the favorite is the wireless docking item which is a real good point as anyone who has ever lost their iPod USB cables probably knows. The Zune, as the same with many other players on the market, also allows you to catch to FM radio but along with one difference. If you listen to a music you like, you may index it and open it next on your computer so that you may purchase it all through Zune's own music download service.

Of course, when we're talking about jukebox MP3 players, we need to talk about capacity: the Zune comes in sizes from 4GB (1,000 songs) to 120 GB (about 30,000 songs).

Classic Apple iPod

With all of the other models of iPods on the shop, it is probably hard to remind the classic version of all the jukebox MP3 players, even though it still manages to be a top seller. This version doesn't play the radio and doesn't have a built-in microphone however it does play video on an impressive 2.5 inch LCD screen.

You won't find several color preferences either though you may locate an 80GB and a 160 GB type on the market. These large jukebox MP3 players can keep between 20,000 and 40,000 songs.
