output

Answer 2

MP3 Players are not an Input Device nor an Output Device but in itself a Small Computer. MP3 Players generally have USB as Input Port for Copying\Deleting Songs, 3.5mm Audio Jack as Output Port to listen, Flash Storage to store Music, A Small Processing Chip and maybe a small LCD Display to select Songs & Audio Settings. MP3 Players are Small Portable & Handheld Music Playing Stereos connected to Headphones or external Speakers to listen to Audio generally in MP3 and WMA format.

Answer 3

It is output (read more below)

An MP3 player uses the file.mp3 (a song for example) as its input.

It then decodes (decompresses) this as an MP3 file is a compressed file.

The resulting decoded data is then used as it's output, usually sent to a speaker with the help of a digital to analog converter and an amplifier.

A MP3 recorder would do the process in reverse and the sound would be its input and the resulting MP3 file would be it's output.

Answer 5

An MP3 Digital Player is an 'Output' device. Basically, anything that is a 'Player' is sending 'out' a signal like music, video and so on, to an audio source. The audio source could be headphones, and amp/speaker set up, a TV and so on. Your smart phone and tablet (iPad Galaxy etc) 'Output' their sounds to their internal speakers and screen or headphones.

You can also 'Input' some devices into a Player. For example, some MP3 players, smart phones, tablets, computers and so on may have a Microphone Input so you can record voice, instruments, sing along to backing tracks and so on.
