It was not so very long ago, and those of us over 30, will almost certainly had a collection of vinyl albums. Along with audio cassette, this was the hight of technology, and using record player, we could listen to our songs without having to pass the time, waiting to hear them on the radio. These days, technology has changed so much it's almost unrecognizable

Today, we carry around portable devices that holdour music library in a gadget that is only just larger than our thumb. The MP3 music player technology first surfaced in the mid-1980s and we would not see digital media player in its present state until the late 1990s, 1998 to be correct. But as soon as it arrived, it revolutionized the world of music forever.

That's not all, because of its small size, an MP3 music player it can easily fit into handbags as well as coat pockets, and when you want something new to listen to you just simply add new or different songs to the MP3 media player

The MP3 media player transfers files by connecting to your computer. The most common MP3 music player model is the Apple iPod. One of the reasons behind the success of the iPod is that it is so easy to dock with a PC and transfer files using iTunes. Other digital MP3 player manufactures have opted to use Windows Media Player to transfer files.

Using a PC, users can either upload their favorite CDs that can then be downloaded onto the MP3 music player; or they can purchase songs online and then download them to the unit. Apple's iTunes is the most commonly used musical resource for buying and downloading songs, even though there are other services available online.

But aside from the ease of transfering music, the MP3 music player is widely admired for its portability. It can be plugged into your car and played through your cars audio system, or radio with an FM transmitter, plugged into headphones and played while you train, or connect to portable speakers and played throughout your home.
