Normally images are displayed with LCD or OELD screen. Video recording can be done with some of these players with the use of accessories. All the players invariably use JPEG format for display of images. Some players such as iPod series are compatible with file formats as GIF, TIFF and PNG. Most of the players also support MPEG-4 video format. There are some which support AVI and WMV (Windows Media Video). Most players enable transfer of files between players and computers.

Generation 5 series of portable media players was released by Archos in 2007 and this included 160gb Archos 705.
The hard drive, flash memory or microdrive is used to store the data. There has been a steady increase in the storage capacity going up to 320 GB in the case of the hard drive PMPs and up to 32 GB for the flash memory based PMPs. The storage capacity of PMPs can also be enhanced. Content transfer can be done using Secure Digital card, CompactFlash and Memory Sticks directly from external devices. The screen size of the display screen has risen to 7 inches. Resolutions vary from player to player and may go up to WVGA. The color depth ranges from 16-bit, which is normal, to 24-bit in some players. After the launch of the Touch Screen technology, many PMPs have integrated this feature into their players. Even more new features were integrated into the PMPs in the recent past such as the editors, game emulation, the simple camera and text readers.
