Are Ipods Changing The Way We Listen To Music?
By Spencer Anderson, Sat Dec 10th
They’re everywhere, and not only are they everywhere, they lookcool too. Since its launch in 2001, 10 million have sold and 8million of those were in 2004. So welcome to the nextgeneration. 8 tracks, records, cassettes, CDs, and now the iPod. I don’t have one, yet. My first taste of it came when mygirlfriend got one, and asked if I would set it up for her usingmy computer. Wearing those now immediately recognizable hipcream coloured headphones, I could feel the eyes of everyhave-not-an-iPod on me with curiosity and maybe a littlejealousy. I even started walking differently. Listening to LedZeppelin, then Radiohead, and then some Bob Marley on my way toschool, there was definitely more spring in my step, and I satthrough class in a much better mood than usual.

Delete it.Thanks to the iPod, music has become an even bigger part of ourlives because now it’s just a click away, and it’s exactly howwe want it. Apart from the possibility of our entire collections being withus at all times, the iPod’s capabilities have done somethingeven better. By being able to store over 700 albums, the iPod isencouraging us to try types of music we might not have listenedto before. When burning a CD to an iPod takes a short fewminutes, what’s there to lose? But is it all just a trend? Doubtful, especially with peoplespending on average 100 pounds on iPod accessories. It’sdifficult to picture something people

now say they can’t livewithout vanishing, unless Apple CEO Steve Jobs finds another wayto outdo himself yet again. And on that note now Apple has comeout with the smaller, cheaper version of the iPod called theiPod shuffle. Will it have the same impact as its predecessor?Only time will tell.
