Mp3 players have been around for quite some time and the novelty factor about them has worn off. The latest craze to hit the town is touch screen mp3 player that surely brings to your mind the vision of the iPhone.

The five best touch screen mp3 players for this year are from the stables of Sony, Cowon iAudio D2, Microsoft Zune, Samsung P2, and San Disk Sansa Clip. Mp3 players in 2008 have improved by leaps and bounds and become smaller, cuter, more pocket friendly, more powerful and small dynamite like along with featuring improved screens. An extension of that is the new touch screen mp3 player.

In this article I will briefly review 3 touch screen mp3 players.

San Disk Sansa Clip

To pick it out among so many and crowning it as the undisputed numero uno wasn’t that difficult because it is one of the best and feature rich touch screen mp3 players but is surprisingly affordable and cheap compared to the rest of the players in the field.

At the same time it is also durable and rugged. Small screen, straight forward and simple interface, MSC and MTP transfer protocols, FLAC and OGG supports are some of the common features of this topper. The features are by any standard basic but of top quality and it is a winner of a player.

Samsung P2

Though I personally don’t like Samsung products a lot, this touch based player seems to be a winner up the sleeves of the Samsung guys. It features an elegant solid look that gives an impression of sturdiness and it is durable as well. It is Bluewaves compatible – another winner of a feature.

Microsoft Zune

Its major drawback is that you can use only Zune software but in the looks department, it is a veritable stunner. It has a massive memory of over 70 GB that can store all kinds of music and video files.
