MP3 players have either easy to use button controls, for example, press play, up and down to run through your music lists and volume; or touch screen controls. Touch screens have become popular with the Apple iPod touch, and there are also many other MP3 players using them too. Many people find it an advantage to use a touch screen, as it is easier and also a fun way to use the player. If you have never used a one before, it can take a little practice at first.
