Top 10 MP3 Players (Flash-Based)

Most first mp3 player came on the market in 1998. It was a fairly large size of a stack of device like  cigarettes. He had 32 MB of memory and relatively little screen. The management functions are accessible only keys of “play” and “stop” and the possibility of transition, and next or previous song. Now it isincredibly funny but ,at that days they were the most advanced devices for listening to music. For these devices were not needed tapes and discs, the player connects to a computer and using special programmes and write songs in memory of musicplayer. At current standards possible player already frighten buyers. A small amount of memory and special software. At this time, most melomans waited for the first music CD players supporting mp3 format. At that time  audio players do not support format of mp3, and the popularity of the format rapidly rised up. European companies do not rush to actively develop the emerging market. But sacred place is never empty and dual diligence small Asian companies have begun to actively seized of this niche. And now I will  inroduce the countdown of new mp3 players.
