The MP4 player also known as the MPEG-4 (Portable Video Player) is for music and movie lovers on the go. The players can easily store 20,000 songs or 100 hours of video. 

MP4 players are like MP3, only for video and do everything that MP3 players do – organise and play music in a variety of digital formats – but they also have built-in LCD screens and play MP4 video files. Like MP3 players, all MP4 players come with headphones so you can listen as well as watch.

Screens on MP4 players go up to 7 inches – big enough for viewing TV shows without eyestrain – but you can also display content on your TV, so you're not limited to the player's screen when you want to share a clip. Some will even record directly from your TV or DVD player and store on the player's memory.

MP4 players tend to have larger memories than MP3 players, since video takes up more space than music! They usually use a small hard disk rather than a memory chip, to offer the biggest possible capacity.

You’ll need access to a computer to put songs onto your player.

Most computers with a CD or DVD drive will be able to copy, or ‘rip’ the content  from the CD and convert it to digital files. You then simply connect your player to the computer and transfer the music files across. Most players come with their own software to make this quick and easy. You can record over old tracks as many times as you like, so you can keep your music collection up to date. You can also download music and video from the many online stores on the Internet.
