An ipod and mp3 player looks and feels somewhat the same. What’s the difference? They both play music up to 8Gb.

iPod is a brand name
iPod IS an MP3 player
Mp3 players are generic "iPods" and many do not play music purchased from iTunes. Most of iTunes' songs aer protected Mp4 format. So if you get a different brand of MP3 player, make sure it can play mp4's as well.

Hi
Look at Ipod just as a brand name for an Mp3 player - nothing more.
In the market today there are lots of mp3 players available most of them BETTER than an Ipod,
Personally I feel Ipod is no good as it has very limited features and is expensive when compared to other mp3 players.
You can have a look at www.cnet.com and other websites for product reviews and comparisons on various mp3 players available so that you get to know the differences in features to help you decide on which one you want.

iPod - music participant from Apple. makes use of the .AAC format, that is effectively proprietary at this element, because the iPod is the purely transportable gadget i comprehend of that makes use of it. many of the iPod content cloth is DRM'd (reproduction-chance-free), which signifies that you won't be able to reproduction it, you won't be able to burn it to CD, you won't be able to percentage it.... inspite of in case you got it truthful and sq.. iPods also manage video clips, and many can do different issues as well (information superhighway, etc). iPods have large storage capacities, regularly 8 gig+. for sure, iPod is supported by technique of the iTunes on-line shop, for straight forward get admission to to "criminal" music purchase. iPods are not all that affordable. after I very last regarded, the single i'd be attracted to became nevertheless over one hundred and fifty$. expenditures have dropped slightly over the perfect few years, so as that is cool. mp3 gamers - With some exceptions (like the Microsoft Zune), mp3 gamers are extra or a lot less an same.... they play mp3 information, that are actually not in any respect DRM'd so that you'll be able to burn them, percentage them, etc. maximum gamers do not help video or images, even though it quite is slowly replacing. they have a tendency to carry a lot less stuff - a million gig is complication-free now yet 8 gig remains uncommon. not a lot extra to assert about them, maximum in basic terms play music and that is about it. they are also far more cost-effective because of it. i purchased a 2 gig mp3 participant with genuinely no good factors - no demonstrate, etc - for 20$. Even the least perplexing iPod, the iPod shuffle, is often 40-50$, acceptable? Saul
