How iTunes changed the game for portable music players

By Jim McIntyre


Technology is taking manifolds with each day passing by whereby once mobile phones, computers used to be considered as technological tools. Then MP3 players and iPods came into picture for them who had a passion for music and entertainment. But now there are portable video players that have captured the market.

The new age of digital music and media means that you can now take your entertainment on the road with you. These new digital media players are lighter, smaller and more sophisticated than ever before.

Without doubt the most advanced media player at this time is the series from Apple with the range of free songs for your iPod seemingly endless. And that's just the start of what the i series offers.

Portable DVD players are still a big seller, and this is mainly because of the price drop as Apple iTunes and other media companies have taken over the market.

A popular item - the portable video and DVD player was good because you could plug in an external monitor effectively making your normal DVD player redundant, but the same goes for digital media.

These usually include a headphone output plus a wide variety of digital and analog outputs for other connection possibilities.

Other portable DVD players lack an attached screen but they could be easily plugged into TV monitors wherever you go in a car, boat or vacation house. You have also the option to use one as regular player at your home.

There are even portable video players especially designed to be used inside a car some of which could be installed and others can be hooked up for long road trips or put away for regular about town driving.

Regardless of the type of portable music player you choose, and whether its the lates iPod from Apple or an older portable DVD player, you should always consider purchasing the headphones separate. A good quality pair of headphones can make a huge difference to the output of sound and video that you get.

It doesn't matters which type of portable you choose but you should consider buying a pair of headphones separately. Most of the portable players include headphones but you could get better sound by replacing them with an inexpensive pair.

When looking at where the digital media age is heading I definitely think Apple are in the best position to take us forward from here. I recommend Apple as the company to take us in to the future. range of music players and the advances in iTunes and the App store it is surprising that anyone else can even think to keep up.
