For instance...as a seller of these devices...I have players using the AVI & AMV format. If you have the chance to purchase a player...look at the amount of money you want to spend. AMV format = anywhere from a 1.5-2.4 inch screen with jerky motion & resolution of 160X128 for most of these players. The cost is low for these...as well as being able to play non-DRM MP3/WMA music.The AVI players may cost you about twice as much money...but will be a much nicer player with a larger screen/resolution. As for music/audio use...these can also play non-DRM MP3/WMA music.Something you will always want to consider is the battery on these players. Many of the AVI players will have batteries which provide the close to the same output as a rechargeable battery you use for flashlights & other consumer items. The AMV players will have a fraction of this power output for its battery. Because of this...you will have some of the more costlier players you can use for several hours longer than many AMV players.Personally...my favorite player is a touchscreen AVI player with a 2.8 inch screen. Since it has a mini-SD slot ($12 card from Amazon)...I put all my tunes into WMA format & keep them on a memory card. Plus...since I can read TXT based books from Project Gutenberg on the player & they are readable...have over 300 MB of the classics I can read on the go.If you have any questions...I have found this site very informative: http://www.mympxplayer.org/ One thing you forgot to mention is the formats available.

I rather buy my music by going to an artist website, magnatune, the PMN, or cd baby. I don't like getting my media from a proprietary program. I like VLC. Its small and works with all media.
