Everyone knows thatMP4 players are the upgraded version of MP3 players. Then what are the detailed differences between them? Those people who are planning to buy a portable media player might care about this a lot. These differences may affect their decision to buy a MP4 player or just a MP3 player.
Actually, an MP3 player is designed to play audio files only and quite small in size. Sound is also comes through a pair of headphones so there is usually no speaker. The controls as well as the screen size are also quite minimal. While with an MP4 player, video files can be easily played. The screen size is very big so we can see video properly and there are many controls available needed for video playbacks. MP3 Player’s audio files can come in varying sizes, but it never put any real strain on the battery. So MP3 players can go a long time on a single charge and can play a large number of songs. In contrast, the MP4 player’s video files are heavy and contain more graphic-intensive. These files put a greater strain on the battery, so the result is short playing time. The battery runs down quickly. It must be recharged.
MP3 Players are supporting formats like WMA, WAV, MIDI, AAC, ADPCM, etc., —very different from MP4. MP4 players are defined in the MPEG-4 standard (ISO 14496-14). They support almost all kind of multimedia content, even the high-end content, like, 2D and 3D animated graphics. They support formats like MPEG 4, RM/RMVB video, AVI?DivX, XviD, MTV and ASF/WMV A?. Now you may have your own decision which one to buy.
