I can still remember, in the pre-iPod Walkman era, the fashion was to do almost everything to conceal the headphone wires but when the iPod came out showing the white wires _were_ almost like a status symbol.

Those of us who remember the Walkman, the discman, the mini disc, the MP3 players and then the iPod, truly understand the impact it made.

I swear to god ColdFusion brings out the best videos. By now we all have close to 1000 ColdFusion videos in our pockets like how Steve Jobs said we would have 1000 songs with the Ipod. It's ironic saying this as I like Android.

I remember saving up for the iPod Nano 3rd Gen as a kid. It wasn't much but for that brief moment, I felt like the coolest kid on the block who didn't have an iPhone and immediately loaded it with all the songs I got off of Limewire.

I remember back in the late 90s, a friend had a portable CD player that could also play the MP3 files on a data CD, that held hundreds of songs per disk. My mind was blown.

I’m so glad I lived my teenage years during the iPod era. It was honestly a beautiful time.
