Is there only music on iPods? I don’t think so
I’m sure that by now you all already read the elaborated “thought” that Steve Jobs published more than 2 weeks ago called Thoughts on Music. When I did read it I immediately thought on my iPod usage habits and those of the rest of iPod owners.
Ever since I bought my 4 GB iPod Nano I’ve been filling it with podcasts exclusively (all are free). The only time it had music was when the one I bought failed too bad (after 3 months it was just looping and wasn’t recoverable, but that’s for another post) that they had to give me another one, yep, it has a different serial number than the first one. So they gave me the “new” (not sure if it was really new or not) iPod filled already with a bunch of songs, I just listened to a couple not in their entirety to be sure the iPod worked correctly and that same day I reloaded the podcasts.
So far I guess I’ve gone through several gigabytes of podcasts, a lot of gigabytes. How many out there do the same? I think the percentages mentioned in the article may change a bit because not everything that an iPod (actually iTunes) sees as an mp3 is copyrighted music.
Give it a thought and form your own opinion.
