If you want to enjoy your music on the move, do not want to spend too much money on an MP3 player and are content with having say, anywhere between 400 – 900 of your favourite tunes with you then you need to set your sights on owning a 1GB Flash memory MP3 player.

Flash memory players are sleek, inexpensive, easy to use, easy to recharge, lightweight to carry and fun to own. The only thing that goes against them is functionality (they struggle with a lot of the advanced MP3 features) and the fact that after a while (admittedly a long while) their Flash battery tends to get worn down so you get reduced playing time between recharges.

The good news is that there is a plethora in the market for you to choose from and they’re cheap enough to replace without thinking about it too much.

Here’s a few models to get you started:

Creative Labs ZEN Nano Plus - Zen Nano is a skip-free MP3 player, perfect for anyone new to music downloading and wanting to show off their style. Zen Nano is available in 1GB1 or 512MB1 capacities and treats you to an amazing array of electrifying colors. Stand out among the crowd.

ZICPLAY MiniKey OLED MP3 player 1 GB FM – Black – this ones also comes with a display which is definitely not the norm with the slimmed down Flash players.

Yakumo 1GB MP3/WMA Player Hypersound XD – every bit as exotic as it sounds.

MPMan MPCS120 - 1GB MP3 and Video Player with 1.2" Screen – the screen itself is a wonder. The largest you can find on such small MP3 it gives clarity and response time unbelievable at the price.

SanDisk Sansa m240 1Gb MP3 Player – more expensive end of the market, though not hugely so.

Creative MuVo TX SE 1GB MP3 Player – another offering by the prolific Creative Labs design team.

iAudioU2 - 1GB (Black) – Black seems to be the new white judging by the offerings at hand. This one is good.

At the top of the range and the price pile of course is the iPod Nano which is undoubtedly the king of MP3 players though the priciest.

So now it’s your turn, choose a player and get ready to enjoy your favourite tunes on the move.
