Mobile phone music players review

01.Introduction

Most of the latest mobile phones can take photos and capture video, but CHOICE has found they rarely perform as well as a dedicated camera or camcorder when carrying out these tasks.

Most new phones can also play a music file, but this in itself doesn’t make it a music phone. Features such as one-button access to the music playing mode, easy navigation to your music collection, and online functions such as downloading album art and track names are considered standard on most popular music players, and should be incorporated into your mobile if you are using it to replace your music player.

The phenomenal success of the Apple iPhone, regarded as one of the best music playing mobiles available, shows you don’t have to make compromises when using your phone as a music player – and other phone companies have taken note. When shopping around for your next phone, decide on the features you want, then ask yourself: “Would I use this as a music player even if it couldn’t be used to make phone calls?” If the answer is yes, you’ve found your ideal music phone.
