In the last five years or so ever since they were first introduced, Apple iPods have become one of the most popular and recognized digital music players since the Sony Walkman. One of the reasons the iPod has become so popular in part is because of excellent timing in its release, which was approximately around the time with services like Napster, which allow the pirating of music, were being closed down.
Music in Your Hand
Apple seemed to realize that in order to make truly portable music catch on, it needed to be able to fit in your pocket. Due to the necessary size for holding compact discs, Walkmans can’t fit that niche. But because digital music players are only limited by the size of the hard drive inside, Apple was able to use a small hard drive to make a player that was about the same size as a deck of cards.
Other music players today may match iPods in storage space or even be able to play more file types, but even some of those don’t have the small size of the iPod. Apple further developed this concept with their iPod nanos and shuffle, which both use flash memory instead of a hard drive, making iPods even more convenient and compact.
Simple to Use
In addition to small design, Apple chose a simple, attractive display for their iPods, with what’s called a click wheel to create a simple interface. There are actually five buttons on iPods, but the click wheel hides four of those; pressing in the right direction, such as with the direction buttons on a video game controller, will press the appropriate button. The fifth button is at the center of the wheel and is used mostly to confirm selections. The design is easy to use, since adjusting volume consists of running your thumb along circumference of the click wheel, similar to turning the dial on a stereo.
The interface between iPods and your computer is also handled easily, since music purchased for iPods is sold in the iTunes music store, which not only manages purchases, downloads, and acts as a music player on your computer, but acts to detect automatically if your iPod has a connection that is active and then transfer your music library to it.
By making this process of transferring music from your computer to your iPod as easy as possible, Apple Computer has helped to retain the customer and keep from driving people away with complicated procedures. Another iPod accessory that facilitates ease of use is the iPod docking station which easily charges your iPod without having to use wires and plugs. It is a combination of portability and simple easy to use design that makes iPods such a hot item in today’s electronics market.
