  • Thumbs up if you noticed the two lamps on the left side that are from IKEA !!!

  • It never said anything about how Mp3 players work, It says price clearly in the title. So stop complaining and stop being stupid.

  • I have noticed that "HowStuffWorks" is utter garbage.

    Just google whatever you want to know. You find WAY more accurate results & you dont get screwed in the process.

  • I'm Bret Larson, and I never answered the question.

  • @jamesschader How is that tiny, unless you're some sad music freak with 30,000 songs?

  • that guy looks like the definition of douchebag.

  • That would suck to have a 512 MB mp3 player that would only be 125 songs thats shitty.

  • These prices are not even relevant anymore..

  • How mp3 players work....

    "different mp3 players cost differents amount of money."

    ....The end.

  • NO WAY?!?!?!? The iRiver is only around $60 and has 512Mb?!?!?! Jesus crist, thats like 1/4 of the shitty RAM I got for less than the $60 for my laptop.

  • LOL. This vid needs to be updated badly. Apple has the 120 gig classic out for approx 228. This says the high end is an 80 gig for $350. How times have changed.

  • Jesus Christ,

    everyone is really overreacting here.

    The title clearly says how the Mp3 players price works, and why it is that expensive.

    I thought this video was great, and was surprised at the 60 gig iPod!

    I also like the iRiver,

    Thankyou for this video!

  • there says: PRICE

  • So... how does an mp3 player work?.. No, seriously...

  • well you pick the song you want then the little fairies inside the mp3 player go into magic fairy land and find the song you want and put it into the magic fairy speakers and it makes sound :)

  • Ain't that amazing, lol!!

  • How to sell merchandise.

  • that didnt explain anything, only advertised

  • your site is wow

  • I love your videos

  • Very informative :)

    "How computers work: IBM compatibles with MS Windows are pretty cheap. Apples with MAC OSX are more expencive but looks nicer. Google for IBM compatibles unequipped with ms windows and install gnu/linux or bsd on it" -. BANG BANG BANG!

  • so how does a mp3 work again? you go online and buy one? what a idiot.

  • Perhaps that's why they put the word "Price" into the title.

  • it says price idiot

  • Ipods suck, get a zune

  • i need help buying a mp3 player i just dont know any sites =( plzz reply with good websites no spam plzz

  • an Ipod is allways good and a ZUNE is good too

  • commercial

  • iPod is better but kinda more expensive. You see  you have better support, including free service for a period of time, iTunes to help you easily transfer your songs, images, videos etc..

  • This is how MP3 players work???

    Misrepresentation has just reached a new low!

  • ugh neweegg!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!

  • MP3 for sound is totally rubbish. It does not beat CD or MiniDisk for sound quality.

    Yeah I know you can carry around a zillion albums on the your MP3...thats the only convienience it offers. I have an MP3 player and within a week I went back to using the MiniDisc because the sound quality - you guessed it, was alot better. I almost want to say that even tape is better than MP3.

  • Ever try ramping up the quality? And besides... You can only really tell once you get to a sertain bitrate. Not to mention the type of Speaker/headphones make alot of difference. And I'd perfure 200 songs in desent quality over 20 songs in perfect quality anyday.

  • Yeah. Way ahead of you. I've gone thru the equaliser and SRSWow menus to 'ramp up' the sound quality and I've changed headphones that have great sound and balance. Thats why I wrote my last comment. I prefer the 20 songs in perfect-quality as opposed to 200 in ok-quality. You mentioned bit rate. My player doesn't allow me to change the Bitrate. Does it help?

  • wow...so thats how price works...good thing i dudnt go to skool at all and learn numbers and dollar signs or maths of any kind!

  • Mp3's (the original .mp3 file) contains data what says when to send electro magnetic pulses to your headphones. (Read my explanation on how does speaker works)

    The mp3 player itself just read the .mp3 file data and sends pulses.

  • Yeah, thats what I thought that MP3 players are nothing more than file readers. So does that mean for sound quality, MP3 players are pretty much the same?

  • you guys expected to learn how an actual mp3 worked in 63 seconds?

  • it says price in the title you noobs

  • look what it says in the video info...." Learn how MP3 players work"

    well i still dont know, becouse all he was doin is ads..

  • what a useless video

  • But...HOW DOES IT WORK???????????????????

  • this is not telling you how mp3 players work its just a advertising commercial

  • What happened to Mr. Brain? This guy SUX

  • fcuking commercial!

  • ok, i still don't know how they work?

  • Thank you, Captain Obvious.

  • dude! we're over here!

  • well....

    I think all those suck.

    Sansa Connect FTW

  • i knew HSW would go to hell when it was sold

  • wow i didn't learn shit

  • ^^ me either

  • lol

  • "How Mp3 players Work: Price"

    The title obviously mentions the word "Price" which would imply to normal people that this video is concerned with prices and how to find the best price on an mp3 play. This video does just that. Yes, it is a showcase of marketed products. That is, the ones that can be purchased. Several brands were discussed, so, no, it was not simply a commercial for an iPod. Read, people, read.

  • lol what a joke! We want to know how they work not a showcase of marketted products!

  • ... Is this a commercial?

  • Wow now I know how they work... NOT!
