I think people should consume their music any way they want. If it's more practical for them to listen to it on an iPod or something, that's fine by me.
We have three post-PC devices: the iPod, the iPhone, and the iPad, the revolutionary device that defined a whole new categoryit's outstripping the wildest of predictions.
If you look at the market cap increase in Apple since it created the iPod versus what's happened to the music industry, you have to say Apple got the better part of that deal.
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.
There are sneakers that cost more than an iPod.
That's one of the things about being married to a couple of musicians, I have got great iPods. That's what I was left with -- an iPod each.
Snoop is a tour de force! It’s one of the smartest and most original books I’ve come across in a long time. I devoured it and then rushed over to clean up my desk and change my iPod playlist.
I'm part of the Ipod generation. I got 10,000 tracks from all over the world.
I don't have an iPod! It's never appealed to me, really.
I had an all-Fear of Music iPod, just versions of the 11 songs from the record. No other songs allowed.
I've bought more music for my Ipod in one year than I bought in the last ten years of my life.
I don't have an iPod.
I would rather have someone read my diary than look at my iPod playlists.
I became so frustrated with visiting inner-city schools (in America) that I just stopped going. The sense that you need to learn just isn't there. If you ask the kids what they want or need, they will say an iPod or some sneakers. In South Africa, they don't ask for money or toys. They ask for uniforms so they can go to school.
Technological change is discontinuous. The monks in their scriptoria did not invent the printing press, horse breeders did not invent the motorcar, and the music industry did not invent the iPod or launch iTunes.
If you looked at my iPod, you would get a trip out of all the different music, from the real heavy metal to bluegrass to classical.
The iPod is not a new category. Music is not new. It's not a speculative market. It's a very, very large market. It's been around for thousands of years and will be around as long as humans exist.
The invention of the iPod changes how you use music. Suddenly you have music everywhere.
The iPhone revolutionised the mobile industry, rather like the iPod before it with the personal music player.
I'd say we [Apple Inc. ] are the most creative of the technology companies and definitely the most artist-friendly. Almost everyone in the music business uses a Mac and everyone has an iPod.
