It’s been decades since Apple single-handedly changed the future of music. Priced at $399, the iPod went live on November 10, 2001, with a simple promise: “1000 songs in your pocket.” Within a year, Fadell, now known as ‘the Father of the iPod’, was ready with the finished product. In 2001, he hired Anthony Michael Fadell to bring his vision to life. Moving on from physically owning the labels for the first time, the iPod was the beginning of streaming as we know it.ĭisappointed by the large and clunky size of Mp3 players of the 1990s, Steve Jobs began fielding ideas for developing a compact audio device with Macintosh software. The iPod stands out from the rest as it revolutionized the way we listen to and store our music. This intense progression is a privilege not many generations can claim. You started with the cassette, moved on to CDs, dabbled with the walkman, and finally gravitated towards the iPod, and now you get all your music from Spotify. If you are a Millennial, the evolution of your music listening experience has been dramatic, to say the least.
