MP3
Players are Here to Stay Awhile
Longer
Mp3 digital
music is one of the most popular
forms of entertainment these
days. This new form of listening
to tunes just seems to make
sense, and is a natural step
forward in the world today.
Everything else is digital these
days so why not music?
While music
is still purchased in the form of
CDs, it is very often converted
into mp3 digital music for use on
a computer or mp3 player. Indeed,
sometimes it seems like CD
players are all but obsolete now,
and I almost never use mine
anymore.
However, it
is nice to have my songs backed
up on CDs, and I try to keep my
CD collection current even if
I’m not listening to them
directly very much. I have an
innate distrust of computers and
all things purely digital, and
I’m just waiting for my
digital music players to explode
any day now.
Why Record
Digital Music on MP3
?
Mp3 players
have a lot of nice advantages to
them over CDs. First of all, they
are of course much smaller. Most
of these devices can easily fit
into your pocket, unlike bulky CD
players. Even the smallest
portable CD player is enormous
compared to the average mp3
player.
Also, mp3
digital music can be stored on a
hard drive of an mp3 player or
computer, and so no CDs are
needed. You can load up all the
tunes you desire right to your
computer, and never have to worry
about losing it or scratching a
cd.
The iPod
is Boss
One of the
most popular portable digital
music players today is
Apple’s iPod, and since
it’s made by Apple it just
has to be different. Therefore it
does not use the mp3 digital
music files other players use,
and instead uses its own spiffy
Apple format exclusive to iPods.
As an owner
of both an mp3 player and an
iPod, this fact continuously
frustrates me, as it is nothing
short of a pain in the ass to
transfer music from one player to
the other.
These units
are of a fairly small file size,
which comes in handy if computer
disk space is a problem. My
laptop has a 120 GB hard drive on
it, and I can fit my entire music
collection on it in the mp3
digital music format without
making a dent in the overall
space available.
Some
experts believe that the mp3
digital music format poses some
serious threats to the music
industry, as it is so easy to
share and pass around. But, I've
heard that since the invention of
wax records. Go
figure...
