Still not sure on which media player to buy? Below are my recommendations.
I take into account the products features, price and quality as well as the manufacturers delivery performance, warranty and their back up support after the sale.
Other considerations include the availability and frequency of firmware updates and how complete they are, product failure rates, users comments and the ease of use.
