Have you been looking for the perfect stereo to fill your home with your ideal music? I-pod adaptable speakers are the perfect choice. Only the music you want to hear is played, because you pick the songs that are downloaded on the iPod. Unlike the radio, there are no boring commercials. That is a great plus for me because, I hate the commercials that never seem to end when all I am trying to do is listen to music.
You can make different play lists for the different places or people listening. For an example, at night you might want relaxing music that will soothe you to sleep. Your kids may want to sing along to children’s songs, or you might want some more upbeat music for a party. No matter what music you enjoy listening to, speakers will make an iPod more enjoyable.
The iPod speaker player is great for multi-tasking: charging your iPod while it plays. This is a great bonus feature that saves you time, so you want have to plug the iPod into your computer to charge.
You can play the music using your different sets of play lists or by artist, genre, or your top rated. Only the music you want to hear…what could be better?
My favorite way to hear my songs on my iPod speaker is to set it on shuffle. It is the best way to listen randomly though all of your favorite song without continuously repeating the same ones. You could easily listen to different songs for hours, depending on the number of songs on your iPod.
Speakers are made to fit every iPod available. All you need are the adapters that are usually included with your player. It includes different sized adapters to fit your specific type of i-pod into your speaker player.
iPod shuffle is flash-based digital music player designed by Apple Computer. The iPod shuffle is designed to be easily loaded with a selection of songs and to play them in random order. This iPod enables iPod shuffle users to get rid of all that iTunes or other complicated playlist management stuff. Due to the simple structure of the shuffle it is possible to use the player almost like any other USB flash MP3 player: You simply copy MP3 files onto it. You only need to run the Database Builder program after you added or removed files from the iPod.

Good Thing about iPod shuffle
Small size and High Storage You know what they say about good things and small packages. But when something 1.62 inches long and about half an ounce holds up to 240 songs, “good” and “small” don’t quite cut it. Especially when you can listen to your music for up to 12 continuous hours. In fact, iPod shuffle just may be the biggest thing in small.
Battery The Battery life of iPod shuffle is 12 hour. It also provide battery indicators, Green means go, Amber means you’re low, and Red means you’ve almost hit zero. iPod shuffle may keep rocking even longer than you do. Rechargeable batteries have a limited number of charge cycles. Battery life and number of charge cycles vary by use and settings.
Easy to carry Clip it to your coin pocket. Clip it to your bag. No matter where you clip your skip-free iPod shuffle, you’ll have instant access to music. And iPod shuffle’s anodized aluminum enclosure goes with absolutely everything. Put it on, turn it up, and turn some heads.
Headphone iPod shuffle’s headphone jack does double-duty as a dock connector. Flip iPod shuffle upside-down and drop it into the included dock. Then connect the dock to your Mac or Windows PC via USB for a quick sync and charge. And if you’re away from your computer, you can charge on the go with an optional USB adapter.
Remix and match Got more than 240 songs in your iTunes library? No problem. Let iTunes autofill your iPod shuffle and get a new musical experience every time. Pop follows jazz. Rock follows rap. iPod shuffle loves to improvise. Take the Shuffle switch, for instance. Even if you’ve synced a particular playlist, you can shuffle songs with a flick.
With the advent of the touch screen interface for iPods when the Touch came out, new features were added to the humble iPod to make it better than ever and more flexible in the realm of mobile entertainment for the person on the go. And the most compelling addition to the iPod Touch compared to other iPods before it was a whole new slew of games using the device's touch screen as controls. For the iPod owner who is also a gamer at heart, this can be a dream come true because now, not only can you play music or videos on your device, but play games and keep setting new high scores on their iPod. And the best part is that you can download and install new games on your iPod to make it even better when you play the games you want.
Types of games available for download
From puzzle games to arcade, sports games to racing, there are a lot of games available for downloading to your iPod touch so that you won't ever have to feel bored again. Games in any genre that you enjoy playing are available, most of them at a price.
There are a lot of games coming out, because to the developers the iPod Touch/iPhone is a new platform where they can develop new games or specialized versions of their bestselling titles for iPod gamers to play. You'll be able to select which games you want to get when you browse around gaming download sites. There are new titles for the iPod touch itself, and there are new reprisals of old games that are loved by most even in their simplicity, like the classic solitaire game. You can download whatever game you want and enjoy it all on your iPod.
How much you'll pay
With iPod games downloads, you can expect that there are some good games that are free to download and pay, and at the other extreme you'll have to pay upwards of twenty dollars for a chance to play your favorite game on your new iPod. But most games will fall somewhere in between, and the list price for individual downloads will most likely be in the ten-dollar range. These games will be priced squarely so that the developer will also make money, but at a price that won't have users steering away from them in droves.
However, there are also other ways that you can get games on your iPod Touch. Download sites that charge a membership fee but offer unlimited downloads for their subscription duration are way better for your wallet than having to download each game separately. Once you've signed up, all you have to do is pay the initial subscription, and then you can download whenever you want, no matter how many you want to download and put in your iPod.
Another way to get around paying for games on your device is to get the trial versions before you actually download the full version on your iPod, so that if you don't like the download, you didn't actually pay for it yet so no worries on your part. If you like it however, you can purchase the full version knowing that you'll already be satisfied with your new game on your iPod Touch.
Like most parents in North America, when it comes to getting gifts for our kids we are always inclined to get the newest, or the hottest, or the flashiest. This year the model with buzz was the iPod Touch. And while several of my friends were getting their kids the iPod Touch, I had my doubts that this would be the right choice for our son.
Don’t get me wrong, the iPod Touch provides great entertainment and would make a great gift, but after some reflection we decided to get the iPod Classic. There are number of factors that went into our decision, but three stand out as being the most important.
WiFi
As everybody knows by now one of the great features of the iPod Touch is the ability to access the Internet wirelessly. This allows the owner to surf the net. To get updates on weather and the stock market. To download their favorite YouTube videos. And to access their e-mail as well as iTunes.
But the problem is, at high school student my son will be spending most of his time in an environment where either he is discouraged from surfing the net for his own entertainment-and probably for good reasons; or a wireless connection is simply not available. Consequently much of the functionality of the iPod Touch will be lost to him.
Video
In the days of the transistor radio and the CD Walkman, portable entertainment was all about audio; the future is all about video. So we knew we just had a get an iPod that had a decent screen. Now the granddaddy of the big screen iPods is of course the iPod Touch-coming in with a 3.5 inch (diagonal) widescreen display.
But if you have a teenage boy and if you’ve ever handled an iPod Touch, then taht sound in your head is the sound of glass shattering! Because the one thing that impresses you most about the iPod Touch is the amount of surface area that is breakable. So in our opinion, the iPod Touch was just too vulnerable to destruction from the inevitable banging, and dropping, and general bumping our son would give it.
But try viewing a movie on the iPod Classic and its 2.5 inch (diagonal) color LCD display, and you come away surprised by the experience. For a handheld device the video quality is pretty impressive. And a ratio of extremely easily breakable surface area to easily breakable surface area is much smaller.
Memory
For our money, this is the main reason for buying the iPod Classic. At 160 GB the storage capacity of the iPod Classic blows away all of the other models-the nearest competitor is the iPod Touch which tops out at 32 GB. The reason why memory was so important to us is twofold.
Firstly, remember I said that video is both the present and the future? Well video takes up a lot of space. For instance, let’s say that his tastes run toward watching movies like “Superbad”-and whose tastes wouldn’t. If he were to download this movie to his iPod, it would take up 1.25 GB of storage space.
If his iPod were the iPod Touch, then he would only be able to have 25 movies on his iPod. This would leave very little room for music, photos, or other files. Now with his iPod classic, he would be able to keep over 100 more movies on his iPod. Many people would say that that’s way too much space. In fact I hear echoes of what I said many years ago when I opted for a two gig hard drive over a 10 gig hard drive on my computer in the belief that I could never use more than two gigs of storage.
And this brings me to my second point. When we bought this iPod it was in the hope that it would take him through most of his high school career. And because high school is such a busy time in people’s lives, it is unlikely that our son will have time to switch out files on a regular basis from his iPod to his computer. So we bought the iPod classic with all of this memory counting on an accumulation of music, video, and photographic files.
When my son asked the inevitable question of why the Pod Classic versus the Touch, I was able to point to the limited functionality given his environment. I also reminded him of the necessity for having a screen that while still being able to watch a movie on, was not vulnerable to the inevitable bumps and shocks that it would receive. Finally there was all that storage for all that music, all those movies, all those photos-all those memories - that he will collect throughout high school.
