The way we listen to music is changing so rapidly thanks to the digital revolution that sometimes it is hard to keep up
. One minute weve got a stack of tapes on our bedroom desk and then next were listening to the latest album releases through our mobile phones.
Music is now truly portable and there are few limitations on where you can take your collection. You can now download music from the internet and save it onto your computer before transferring it to a device such as an iPod. Once on your iPod you can then literally take it anywhere. The music device is small enough to fit into any pocket and light as a feather so youll never be short of a tune on the move.
However, the latest fifth generation iPods do so much more than simply play music. For example, the iPod nano now comes with a built-in video camera so you will never miss a hilarious moment while out with your friends. Want to share the video content with others? No problem simply upload it to the internet. There is a built in microphone that also lets you capture audio, making the iPod nano a truly indispensible mini video camera.
Mind gone blank and cant remember the name of that song you heard and downloaded onto your iPod the other day? Well if youd recognise the picture from the album cover then fear not, because the latest models now come with Cover Flow as standard. This feature allows the user to flick through the album art at will, making it much faster to find the songs that you want to hear.
And thats not all. If youre sick of listening to your downloaded albums on a long journey, then simply flick on the FM transmitter and tune into your favourite radio station. And if you get distracted by someone, you even have the option of pausing live radio and then with another click, starting again exactly where you left off. Its even possible to rewind back 15 minutes and then fast forward so you can start listening to the live broadcast once more. Its a truly impressive piece of kit that no music fan will want to be without.
