One of my favorite things to do is go running early in the morning when everyone in my house is still sleeping. I throw on my iPod, and it’s, like, my time.
I run in Central Park as the sun comes up. Some may mistake it for walking, but I swear I am running. I could not do it without my iPod.
For me, the creative process for me always starts in a personal place. I step away from my iPod or any records or CDs.
I am deeply devoted to the 27,000 songs I can take anywhere on my iPod Classic as well as the exquisitely engineered MacBook Air on which I typed this column.
I run with music all the time. I cannot run without my iPod. I have everything. Teddy Pendergrass. Luther Van Dross. Michael Jackson. Outkast. If an Usher song comes on and it’s fast, I go fast.
I have been a fan of the Beastie Boys ever since I can remember. I have a ton of their music on my iPod and even still have a t-shirt from a show I saw when I was a kid.
I’m into everything. My iPod is very eclectic – if you kept it on shuffle, you’d be amazed. For example, I was forced to grow up on Dolly Parton. My mum was obsessed by her. She bought all this memorabilia for the front room. It’s ridiculous.
What’s on my iPod? Well, certainly Bruce Springsteen.
In 2004, the iPod was a novelty, and tablet computers were a dream. Now we take for granted that we can see whatever we want whenever and wherever we want to see it, be it ‘Grand Illusion’ or ‘Duck Dynasty.’
I’m an iPod person.
I keep my iPod on shuffle most of the time, but I’m most into Cirque du Soleil soundtracks.
I make playlists on my iPod like nobody’s business!
I have a very eclectic iPod. So I’ve got my cardio people – so it’s anything from Beyonce to some Jay-Z to Janelle Monae, her song ‘Tightrope,’ that’s a good cardio song. And then I’ve got Sting. I’ve got Mary J. Blige. I’ve got The Beatles. I’ve got Michael Jackson. I try to pick the songs that I personally love.
Cardio is tough after a day of skating, but with my iPod I can get into the moment and complete the cardio training for the day.
I just downloaded ‘1984’ for my iPod, but I’ve read that before. It just hearkens back to the ‘romance’ of my high-school days. I really liked the space I was in when I was reading it.
I listen to Radio 4 and put the iPod on shuffle. I like the randomness of, say, the Stones, then something from Nina Simone, Nick Drake or Bob Dylan.
I’m pretty content with what I have, but the one thing that I don’t have is something like the iPod – but PC-based. I think that would be cool.
The iPod made music mobile, but today, how many devices do you need to walk around with? You want it on just one. And inevitably that’s going to be the phone.
I travel fairly lightly because you have to these days. I always take a laptop and an iPod so I can watch movies and listen to music. And my Gameboy. That’s a good time-killer.
If you go to most pawn shops in Las Vegas, they will tell you exactly what they will pay for, say, an iPod. But if you show up with an 1833 ormolu clock, it won’t pop up in their computer. They are going to tell you to go to Gold & Silver Pawn, because we buy weird things.
I think I must be the only grandmother in the world who was given an iPod by her grandsons. It has changed my life – I’d be lost without it.
In Jamaica, the music is recorded for the sound system, not the iPod. It’s about experiencing music together, with other people.
I always take an iPod and iPod speakers so that when you’re in the hotel room you can have it on, or when you’re at the beach you can put it on quietly. Music can really set the tone for your holiday.
The iPod was once so important to Apple that the estimable journalist Steven Levy wrote an entire book about it. And then, poof! The iPod was nearly gone.
I love soundtracks. I used to have three iPod classics: one with regular music, one with soundtracks, and one with demos on it.
On away trips, I’ll listen to my iPod sometimes or watch some TV, see what’s on of a Friday or Saturday night – I’ll usually save the TV box sets until I’m at home with the wife.
In the course of transferring all my CDs to my iPod, I have found myself wandering the musical hallways of my past and reacquainting myself with music I haven’t listened to in years.
I generally make a sort of playlist for my iPod for whatever project I’m doing.
In my hand luggage I always have my camera, iPod, make-up bag, tooth brush, cleansing products, clean underwear, socks and a change of clothes in case anything goes missing at the other end – and of course my passport.
With the iPod, iTunes, iPhone, iPad, and iMac, Apple is the most powerful tech company in the world. It’s also the No. 1 music retailer in the U.S. and among the top sellers of online movies, too.
The new Zune may not be an iPod killer, but it does offer a clean interface, great industrial design, HD radio, and a subscription model for music, making it significantly less expensive for big users.
I’ve got an iPod, of course. I’m all Mac’d up!
I focus all the way on the club. That’s why my music sounds the way it does, with the 808, heavy kicks. Every aspect of it is about the club, so I don’t really care about the person who’s listening on an iPod.
Look, I got 11,052 songs on my iPod. Cyndi Lauper, Guns N’ Roses, Geto Boys, N.W.A…. push shuffle and anything will come on.
With the iPod – Apple’s first successful stab at market dominance – Apple had begun with a high price but quickly dropped it.
The iPod completely changed the way people approach music.
I’ve been looking at the iPod- the Apple iPod. One of the interesting things about the iPod, one of the things that people love most about it is not the technology; it’s the box it comes in.
