Chances are, someone on your Christmas list wants an MP3 player. Manufacturers have been busy. New models boast vivid color screens for viewing pictures and videos. Some even have touch screen controls.

Wireless connectivity is becoming increasingly common. In fact, some players are beginning to look like all-in-one media powerhouses.

No doubt this will confuse you. So I've put together this list of the most-wanted players.

iPod touch

Apple's latest iPod will top many wish lists this year. The touch is available in 8-gigabyte ($300) and 16-gigabyte ($400) models.

The touch features a 3.5-inch touch-sensitive glass screen in lieu of buttons. It connects to the Internet via built-in Wi-Fi.

There's a full-featured Web browser for surfing the Net. You can even watch videos on YouTube.

The touch plays photos, videos and music. You can download songs from iTunes directly onto the player. Unfortunately, the touch does not work with subscription music services.
