The I-Pod has changed the way in which millions of people listen to music. The Cd’s that can now almost be called old fashioned are being slowly pushed aside by the mp3 music download.

Though millions of Cd’s are still sold weekly, the chances are that they will have their contents copied to the users I-pod and then will lie dormant among the other redundant Cd’s that the same thing has happened to.

Before the I-pod yes there were mp3 players, but they were nowhere near as popular with music fans, who make up a vast percentage of the entire worlds population.

You could argue that the reason for this is that the I-pod has better functionality and a far more user-friendly interface than other mp3 players that came previously. I would say that this a fair argument to make.

The early mp3 players tended to be smaller and only had a small screen which couldn’t fit a great deal of information on it, Whereas the I-pod has a far bigger screen and so is able to list tracks in a much more effective way.

The touch pad on the I-pod was also a big selling point when it first came out, as not many people had seen anything like it before, it was a novelty and fun to play with on this new, state-of-the-art bit of kit.

Another great thing about the modern day I-pod and a reason its so popular is that it is not limited to music. It can support pretty much all media types, like pictures, voice recording, video playback and you can even play games on the newer models.

So for a great all-in-one way to store and listen to all your favourite music, watch video clips you love, or just to pass the time with some great games, an I-pod is the solution.
