What is the difference between a hard disk player and an mp3 player. Why do hard disk players have such large memories?
A hard disk player basically has a mini version of a computer hard disk inside it, and therefore has moving parts (and it’s possible, though unlikely, that music played on the unit could skip / jump). A flash memory based MP3 player has a memory chip inside it and no moving parts, meaning that it is smaller, lighter, more portable but does not have as much memory.
