I pods vs. CD's

I pods vs. CD’s

Tuesday, May, 20

Music is a very popular activity in many people’s lives and the ways to play music are always changing. I pods and CD’s are just two of the ways that people play music. Though Ipods and CD's are both music players there are many differences to them as well.

I pods are a very popular way of playing music and they have many features that CD’s don’t like: I pods are very portable and are much smaller than CD’s. They can also store thousands of songs in a smaller space. I pods need a computer to download songs onto them. As well as playing songs they can also play music videos. I pods are a rectangular shape and aren’t that delicate and can’t break or scratch. I pods of course need to be charged every so often.

CD’s are still a very popular way to play music and have definitely replaced the tape. CD’s are different from I pods because they are a disk form and are much easier
to break and scratch. CD’s are also less portable and need a big machine to play them. Sometimes the machine can malfunction so that is not good if you are short on money. CD’s can only play music yet don’t need to be charged. The machine has to plugged in though so if you don’t have an outlet on a camping trip you can’t play them.

The similarities of these two different ways to play music are they both play music. Also even though I pods are more popular there is still good availability for CD’s. They both can have speakers plugged into them so you can listen privately on your own.

I pods are definitely the most popular and useful of the music players and are slowly but surely passing the CD’s in popularity. In comparison the CD is no match for the Ipod anymore.
