Méritos do iPod

«The iPod marked just such a threshold. MP3 players existed before Apple created the iPod and iTunes, but previous systems weren't convenient or cheap enough to make up for the lesser fidelity of MP3s, which sample less than one-tenth the sound CDs do.

After the iPod, digital music — legitimate and pirated — took off, while CD sales sagged. In 2005, the industry reported that CD sales were down 8% to 667 million, while song downloads grew more than 150%, to 353 million. The trend is on about the same track in 2006.»
