Digital Audio

        Digital music makes up somewhere around 95% of the music that I listen to.  Currently I usually listen to music from my computer or cellphone.  I used to use an iPod for the majority of my music listening, but after starting to use an iPhone it didn't seem necessary to carry them both around.  I listen to music less often now than I did in high school mostly just because of a busier schedule.  I usually listen to music while I walk to school, or when I'm cleaning.  Really I listen to music almost anytime I am doing something doesn't involve using my computer for something else or actively talking to someone.  I also listen to music whenever I am in my car.  However, in the car, I usually listen to CDs of playlists I made and burned using iTunes.

        Other than music, I often listen to Podcasts.  Podcasts are basically an internet radio show that is usually downloaded on iTtunes for free.  Most of these shows are just audio, but some are videos as well.  My favorite podcast is a comedy advice show called My Brother My Brother and Me (or MBMBaM).  I also enjoy a podcast called Diggnation, which is, for lack of a better term, nerd news or tech news.  I sometimes download a podcast and burn it onto a CD if it is just audio, but I also put them on my iPhone or just play them from my computer as well.

        I think that digital audio has taken an immense hold on its place in todays society, especially within my generation.  I think part of the reason is the ease of obtaining digital music.  You can download digital media instantly and from your home rather than having to go to a store.  That, along with integration with devices such as MP3 players and cellphones is part of why I think digital music is so popular.  I personally listen to digital media everyday and have over 4000 songs in my iTunes library totaling in excess of 250 hours of digital audio.  That's not even within top five largest iTunes libraries out of my friends...
