Customer Reviews

For any who would understand where the future of music is heading

The iPod's ease and compact attraction to music lovers has moved it far from the realm of the computer geek, and author Dylan Jones explores this phenomenon in considering the music's effect on the ipod and visa versa. From the origins of the ipod idea by Steve Jobs to the latest phenomenon of 'podcasting', IPod, Therefore I Am: Thinking Inside The White Box is for any who would understand where the future of music is heading.

Great for iPod fans

Like the author, I'm a big fan of iTunes and iPod because they both have rekindled my love for my music. Though the author and I have different tastes in music, I appreciate how he shares his love of music and the ways it has influenced his life. Jones is a lover of all forms of music, collecting more albums and CDs that most of us will do in a lifetime. In between these chapters about his own life, he chronicles the evolution of the iPod and how Steve Jobs and Apple have used it to bring about a real revolution in the music industry.

If you love music and have iPod, you'll love this book

I'm an on and off again music fanatic and having bought a color iPod and an iPod nano in the last 60 days, I'm on a music jag at the moment. In this state, this book is like water to a very thirsty person in the desert. For me this is a page-turner. Really great personal insights and humor.
