music on their portable cassette players or listening to CDs on their Discman
However, both of these now seem pretty cumbersome gadgets to use while
jogging, exercising or cycling.
Recently, especially in big cities, all this has changed. The techno -battle
raging today is not between bulky cassette players and Discmans anymore. Now,
it is between light and tiny gadgets called iPods and MP3 players. One of the
reasons for their popularity is the technology they are based on, which allows one
to store lots of songs on such small devices.
The main difference between iPods and MP3 players is the technology they
use to compress audio files. Digital audio and video compression standards were
formed by the Moving Picture Experts Group (MPEG). MP3 is a part of this
standard. Therefore, what we popularly known as MP3 is not a actually a type of
a file but a technology for compressing sound files into smaller ones.
Apple is the company that created the iPod. Its audio - video compression
technique is based on another standard called MPEG-4. Unlike the MP3, the
iPod uses the Apple/ iTune software to transfer music to the music devices.
Using iTunes you can store music library on your computer, burn music from
CD, transfer photos, videos, games and small applications and many other
features. As a result, the main difference between MP3 players and iPods is the
format in which the audio files are stored and compressed.
The iPod now is like the name Xerox. People use Xerox as a synonym for
photocopying without realizing that it is a brand name. Similarly, when someone
asks for an iPod, they may be using the tean broadly and actually referring to a
miniature music system. They might not mean the actual product made by Apple.
MP3 players have become a rage because computer system to another.
