Product development is commonly thought of as a creative process, involving the use of imagination and lateral thinking to create different products. This activity does not only satisfy requirements, but is also a source of new ones. It is a cycle in which change can lead to new needs, needs lead to new designs, and these lead to more changes. It is this continuous change that has made design so important in our modern age. The study aims to undergo the whole process of product development starting with planning, concept development, system level design, detail design up to testing and refinement as its last step. It is a never ending process that uses user feedbacks as its inputs. Since the MP3 player is currently a booming market, we decided to use it as a medium for product development process. With the knowledge of Product Development hopefully we would be able to venture into designing a locally manufactured product that would be able to compete with foreign brands within the Philippines market and eventually international market.
