The Ipod is a fairly recent invention (medium) made for playing music but so you don’t have to switch your CD every 11-22 songs. You can also put your library on “shuffle” and listen to extremely different, oftentimes eclectically different music without switching discs. For someone who doesn’t like every song on a CD might find that option extremely efficient to their tastes and distastes, depending.
Some versions of the Ipod are able to hold 7,500 songs, some 30 Megabytes. The device weighs around 5.6 ounces (which according to the Ipod Companion by Tony Bove is less than the weight of two standard CDs) and is shaped to fit in your pocket. With connector cables like the universal USB, the Ipod can easily hook up to your computer and using the fabulous Itunes, (which I use for my own music,) you can automatically update your music library.
I have yet to purchase my own Ipod however, because they are extremely expensive for the average college student attending the usual money-draining institution. And with the amount of songs that I have on my computer, it would be a good idea to get an Ipod soon because I have that terrible fear of either the pipes breaking or my computer getting a horrible virus that wipes out my over 6,000 songs in my Itunes library.
For a 20GB Ipod, the cost is about 254.99 after rebates. (Reg. 299.99) What’s exciting is that you can get refurbished Ipods for the same price with more space, for example, 40GB Ipod refurbished is 299.99, and a 20GB is 229.99. (hpshopping.com) It’s still over two hundred dollars, but it’s better than being over three hundred, at least in the case of these two types of Ipods.
Another great thing about Ipods is that they are versatile for both Macs and PCs. Though they were created by Apple Computer Incorporated, they are available to work with PCS with simple instructions from www.apple.com.
I think the implications of this particular new medium are pretty positive. They aren’t going to make CDs obsolete but I think the technology of being able to buy CDs and download them off Itunes right to your music Library is fabulous. Personally, it’s more convenient and assists in not having to have a lot of clutter; all your music is one your computer, and you don’t have to go searching for albums, just type in what you want to listen to. I do enjoy looking at some CD covers, albums, and their designs, etc. But otherwise, the computer is more convenient. You don’t have to make space in your room for them, etc.
Ipods are also fabulous for playing in your car, just hooking them up to the cigarette outlet for charging and playing ones music. Put it to the right radio station and you’ve got your music. It’s a good thing.
