Consider your user profile

Who are you anyway?

Knowing yourself is a very important aspect when selecting an MP3 player. Your user profile is basically composed of the activities that govern your everyday life. What kind of person are you? What kind of user profile will you fit into? Are you the type of person that lifts dumbbells during your spare time? Are you the party person that is always out on weekends and sometimes maybe on weeknights? Are you the type of person that is obsessed with music and you simply can not get enough of it? Who are you anyway? What kind of MP3 player is fit for you?

The Gym Buff

You are a gym buff if you are the type of person that spends all your free time in the gym. You do your cardiovascular workout everyday for thirty minutes. You have a healthy heart. You lift weights that are exact for your body frame. You attend Yoga and Pilates classes every week. Your diet is absolutely perfect. In fact, you probably have about zero to five percent body fat in you! If you are this kind of person then the kind of MP3 player that you should have is a compact, durable, with small memory capacity.

The Music Lover

You may be a member of a band. You go clubbing every weekend. You attend rock concerts like they were the highlight of your life. If you are this type of person then you are the music lover. If you love jazz music then you may be finding yourself in jazz bars on week nights after a day at work. If you love the chill out and lounge ambiance music then you may find yourself on the beach on weekends listening to ambient music. If you are a Disney fan that loves to sing along with the latest musicals then maybe carrying an MP3 player around is perfect for your lifestyle. The music lover will normally need a portable MP3 player with a medium sized memory capacity.

The Collector

Your shelves are full of CD collections of your favourite artists. You still have cassette tapes and a turntable somewhere in your place. You have several external hard drives full of music. You might be in the music business or you may be one of those people who are simply obsessed with music. If you are a music collector then you definitely need a high memory capacity MP3 player. The larger the memory capacity translates to better satisfaction for you.
