The iTunes store is the best online music site. Combining that with Apple's iPod makes an unstopable duo that competitors have yet to even contest. People worship iPods, sometimes too much, but they have become a lifestyle. Playlists define character, and with the ability to share playlists with people that share the same interests, there is a new kind of social network created. The iPod is ahead of the game is almost every way. Apple's brilliant marketing strategy has increased brand recognition to the point where it has become as ubiquitous as "Kleenex," or "Frisbee." Look around, you'll find iPods everywhere. There is no doubt that iPods have changed the digital music world. losers, the ipod has changed the way society listens to music.

I've seen people walking and sitting on the bus with headphones since I was a child 15-20 years ago. If Apple didn't make the Ipod someone else would have come up with the same thing. When I bought my Rio Carbon it had more space, more battery life, was cheaper than the comparable Ipod mini, and when I first plugged it in it worked with Windows Explorer needing only a driver. The only possible difference I see with Ipod is that Apple figured out how to get fanboys to do their marketing for them. I don’t know what world all you people live in.

It's a beautiful thing. A gated community of the mind. The ipod changes culture by giving us the freedom to not have to talk to strangers in public places. It’s a beautiful thing.

I travel a lot by bus, and it helps provide a safety net from the freaks on the bus, or guys out to hit on you. A lot of them are smart enough not not bother a woman alone with headphones on. I don't even listen to anything sometimes, it's a useful smokescreen, and a useful thing to incorporate into your body language. As for other people tuning into what you're listening to, good luck to them, Black Flag, Rob Zombie or Marilyn Manson isn't all that palatable to most people.. ;-) Not sure I like people knowing what I'm listening to though. That's a little creepy. I love my iPod because it’s private. I travel a lot by bus, and it helps provide a safety net from the freaks on the bus, or guys out to hit on you.
