    The iPod was released by Apple in 2001, and become the new way people listened to music. The marketing slogan for the iPod was "1000 songs in your pocket" and people were quick to quit CD's.
    Thanks for watching!
    Correction: the iPod was not the first MP3 music player, though it was the first widespread one in the US. The real first one was the MPMan, built by a Korean company called SaeHan information systems.

    Great video! However, the iPod wasn’t the first mp3 player. It was the MPMan! A CD player converts the reflected laser light into electricity, which turns back into a file, and then is decoded into the music. A vinyl record works more akin to what you were describing. Still a good video!

    The iPod will never die, there are diehard fans keeping them in use. IPod classics are a nerd's paradise. Hundreds of GBs of music in your pocket, plus you can mod the heck out of them. I rock a 4th gen monochrome iPod classic that I rebuilt myself, with 128gb flash storage and a huge battery nearly 4x original capacity. Can go multiple days between charges. This model is 20 years old, and is an absolute brick. Best part is my phone is never part of the equation!

    But every phone got an iPod incorporated? All my music I bought over the years (not only from iTunes but any source, computer, CDs, even cassettes) are on the phone. No internet or data access needed.About 18000 titles right now. I do not subscribe to any streaming service. Why? The phone got more storage any iPod ever had and you do not need 2 devices charged (with different chargers)
    Nice video, just remember, a microphone only works if you actually speak into it. Right into it. 😇

    Yup. Still light years ahead of any competition - in terms of ease of use ability, elegance, simplicity, design, value - whatever category you can think of - Apple HAD a category leading product and they abandoned it. Since Steve left the building, Apple has LOST ITS DIRECTION - IT’S VISION - AND IT’S WAY. Sad to see a giant become so unfocused and lacking in purpose. The iPod is still like a product from the future… A place we cannot return to. Very sad. RIP APPLE.

    With each subsequent sentence you say completely false information. From what you said, the HDD platter consists of transistors, which is bullshit. HDD disk platters are made of glass or aluminum covered with a thin layer (several micrometers) of ferromagnetic material, thanks to which it is possible to form stable, properly oriented magnetic domains - they create strings of information recorded on the disk. The same goes for how you explained how the CD works, and the misinformation that the iPod was the first MP3 player. I watched two minutes of your video and I can't watch it anymore because I'm afraid of what nonsense you'll come up with next.
