MP3 hardware is available in the market in the form of traditional CD/Walkman and flash memory based player. In a traditional CD format you can burn the music files on a CD,then play the music later but flash memory based players have built-in flash memory to store the music files.
MP3 player has completely evolved from a simple audio player to a fully featured multimedia device.

There can be situation when a computer may crash or not detect the player. Keeping these things in mind many manufacturers are now manufacturing a player which is easy to operate. One of such example is the DMP666+MP3 player, equipped with audio record cable to record music from a TV, radio or DVD player.
