IPods VS Chipods - Can China's iPod replacement be against Apple?

In the era of portable MP3 players, the iPod has become popular all over the world. Every year, we create a new generation of products for millions of Apple fans around the world. Due to the popularity of the iPod, Chinese entrepreneurs have been making copies of these popular products since the birth of MP3. Are these iPod clones worth it, or should buyers pay attention?

First, it's important to look at one aspect of Chinese culture that leads to a copy of popular products. Some people think that it is immoral to cooperate with other people's ideas. However, the traditional Chinese belief requires that when creating something, others have a responsibility to improve it. This is an example I have read before: I said someone painted Mona Lisa. It is another responsibility for Chinese customs to see what defects exist in the previous object and how to fix them while adding new value. Therefore, they will try to provide people with better Mona Lisa. I am not saying that Chinese manufacturers are motivated by this kindness because it is clear that profits are very important, but this kind of comparison helps explain why copies are so common in China.

Anyway, the product itself. I will try to briefly introduce the pros and cons.

Disadvantage

Missing album management - Because they are plug and play, you have to manually drag music into memory. You can still create an album by manually creating a folder and putting your own music.

Unattractive song user interface - On the iPod, when you browse a song, it displays a nice screen with an album cover and a white background. On a universal player, it is likely that it will have a dark blue background, the title of the song and the artist scroll past. Movies must be converted - Most universal players must play movies in AMV format. In small screens, the format is not important for quality, but conversion is a hassle. In addition, the AMV converter can be used free of charge online. However, iPods also need their own special format, and they can only provide this format online from their own mobile database [although it is not free].

A speed tracker - this doesn't mean anything for most songs, but in general, fast forward and rewind move at a speed [unlike the iPod, it speeds up over time.] If you want Skip, this will lead to long song problems first.

Advantage
from

  FM Radio - Some universal MP3s come with an included FM radio, which is $50 for the Apple iPod. Look for this feature.

Recorder - Some universal MP3s come with an included recorder, which is another $50 iPod accessory. If you buy a universal MP3 player, look for this feature.

No iTunes, and the errors it comes with - most generics offer simple drag and drop services so you don't have to worry about losing your collection

Same or better audio and video quality - Good general-purpose audio and video quality is the same as iPod.

It's less than half the price - if you want reliability and quality, 2gb is expected to pay about $60, 4gb pays $75, and 8gb universal player pays $90. If you are willing to take risks and reduce quality, you can get cheaper generics for as little as $40.

In short, I think generic drugs are actually a better deal. They provide a lot of the same functionality, as well as some additional features for some small sacrifices. In addition, they are only half the price. When you shop, check the quality of the mp3 being sold. Some useful clues are;

- If they use actual iPod nano photos, they may be of low quality
from

  - If they advertise as iPod nano instead of GM, they may be of low quality.

In other words, there are many unscrupulous buyers there. Always use a secure payment method like PayPal and look for any evidence that you can find that these MP3s are the best value for money. It is also important to look for a reliable warranty that some companies now offer. I, myself, offer a free one-year warranty and will add a video on my website http://www.inspirebolt.com through all the features of my Chinese-made player Dopple. I'm trying to be as honest as possible about the pros and cons of everyone in this article, so I suggest you ask what you want in the MP3 player and make an informed decision. Thank you very much for taking the time to read my article and wish you good luck!
