(The Apple iPod is, of course, also an MP3 player; that is, it plays music that has been converted into the compressed file type named MP3.) Many non-Apple MP3 players contain features not found in iPods to date, such as:

- voice recording

- FM radio

- player-to-player communication

- plays WMA files (twice the compression) All non-Apple MP3 players work with a very large number of music sources on the Web; they're not limited to Apple's iTunes site. Most sites sell content at lower cost than the iTunes site; and many sites freely distribute some (non-first-run) tunes. A leading consumer magazine found some other MP3 players to be more durable and less failure prone than iPods, but that was before the 2nd-generation players. iPods are likely to remain highly popular for their styling and their revolutionary controls / user interface. And since more Apple iPods have been sold than any other single brand and form-factor of MP3 player so far, they have the greatest selection of custom accessories.
