"It's no surprise that the portable audio player market is flooded with
numerous MP3 players. Although Apple's iPod is the crowned champion and
currently holds majority of the market share, other manufacturers
haven't stopped innovating. This is encouraging news for those of you
with limited budget and a need for a fine sounding MP3 player. In fact,
those of you with no desire to have a hard drive based player can easily
opt for the ones that use flash storage to store music files. And as we
all know, Apple's Shuffle isn't the top choice in flash storage. Though
it's innovative, the lack of screen doesn't really add to the whole
ease-of-use concept. However, there are players that adequately perfects
what Apple's Shuffle leaves behind."
