You've read that you can get your entire music collection on to one mp3 player and that's true - but not every mp3 player.
Basically, if you want to get physical with your mp3 player then you need one with no moving parts. Some of the most popular mp3 players which fall into this category are in the Creative MuVo range.
There are basically three types of mp3 player. Hard drive based, memory based and mp3 CD player based. The hard drive mp3 players allow you to store thousands of tunes whilst the memory based version sacrifices music volume for freedom of movement. You can even get waterproof mp3 players! The mp3 CD players read the mp3 music from a CD which you have pre-burned.
How much music can you get on the various players out there? One minute of CD quality mp3 takes up around 1Mb. The memory based mp3 players have a top limit of around 500Mb meaning you can get roughly 120 average length tunes on there. The hard drive mp3 players plough through the batteries at a rate of knots since the disk has to physically turn. You'll find that most hard drive versions use lithium-ion rechargeable batteries and if you use your mp3 player a lot, your re-charger will be in regular use. If you want to use your player at the gym or while you're out jogging then you'll want the smallest player possible.
If you want to use your mp3 player more at home then size will not be such a great consideration.
As a replacement for the home hi fi system, the mp3 player is becoming more and more popular.
