Basically, an MP3 player is a small portable device that lets you store and play music digitally...it replaces the CD player, which, in turn, had replaced the cassette/tape player. For more information, check out Wikipedia's definition and history of the MP3 player. Make sure you read into the different types (MP3 CD, Flash, and Hard drive-based) while you're there.
Hope this helps,

I came to Cnet and saw a link that said "The Best Mp3 Players", what are mp3 players and why does everybody talk about them?
