You must have been living inside a cave placed on top of a steep mountain with bats and snakes around you for the past decade if you still don’t know what an mp3 player is. If you were to ask me the difference between portable players and CD players, well my answer is pretty simple. CD player is both pre-portable music player and post-walk man.

CD players are kind of almost obsolete with the arrival of mp3s, mp4s, iPods and other portable music players. CD player and mp3 player is like VHS and DVD, you know what I mean.

Most people would even own a made-in-china mp3 player than own the most expensive CD player in the world, trust me.

But if you’re still not convinced with my statements above, read this whole article to fully understand the advantage of this new breed of music player over obsolete portable CD players.

Though most cars, stereos and computers still use CDs, it doesn’t mean you should also always carry and use CDs anywhere you go.

Portable CD players are bulky to bring while traveling. You must bring all the CDs you want to listen to. You have to switch CDs to change artist or album or type of music you want to listen. You also have to bring lots of AA batteries with you, or rechargeable batteries and chargers it case the battery drains. You also have to be wary if you carry the player with you while walking because a bump can cause the music to stop.

Of course CDs will eventually get scratched no matter how careful you hold it, the worst part of it is it skips songs and it stays that way forever. Your most favorite and expensive CD can be damaged forever.

In mp3 players, there’s no need to carry CDs. You can download any songs you want and arrange your playlists by artist, album or song types with simple press of buttons. It is very handy, you can place it inside you pocket.

Usually, customers have different buying behaviors and they take different features into account while they buy audio devices. For example, some people want to listen to music while they are working out on the treadmill, and some people want to amuse themselves by listening to their favorite tracks while commuting on public transport. Due to this difference in the life-style of people, manufactures are coming up with Mp3 player devices of different shapes, sizes, styles and storage features.
