MP3 players are advancing faster than ever. It seems like a new one is released every day. Keeping up can be tough.

I’ll suggest some players. But look at others, too. Trying them out will help you make the right decision.

Many people jump straight for an iPod. It’s a solid choice. And you can get one for under $100. But there are plenty of other players on the market. You can easily find a player that fits your needs.

Apple iPod shuffle ($50-$70)

Apple is the go-to company for music players. Many people find what they want in an iPod. As I said, it’s a solid choice. However, the iPod shuffle is the only model under $100.

The shuffle is about the size of a matchbook. And it has a built-in clip on the back. It's easy to clip to your shirt or drop in your pocket.

It has no screen, which limits its functions. You can't see what's playing. And you can't scroll to find a song.
