Digital Audio Player

Look For Multiple Media Format Playback

SUMMARY: MP3 isn't the only format anymore. There's WMA, Ogg Vorbis, and others.
 
You bought your digital audio player to handle MP3 files, right? Well, other formats are either available or on the horizon, and you may want to look at an audio player than handles other types of files, such as WMA or Ogg Vorbis. In some situations, these formats compress music even better than MP3, allowing you to take even more tunes with you. Also, some online music stores may only sell music in formats that support DRM (Digital Rights Management), so if your player doesn't support WMA, you won't be able to use the songs from such stores on your player.
