Introduction
I listen to my Ipod everyday, which is why it I chose it as the subject of my “Chemistry of...” project. Some people may say that their pets are special to them or their cell phones, but for me it’s my iPod. Music is a huge part of my life, and I don’t know what I would do without it. I should probably clarify that I like to listen to music. I am not musically talented in any way, shape or form.

Steve Jobs created the first Ipod and released the first version of the iPod on October 23, 2001.
The first Ipod held 1,000 songs, while the second generation Ipod that was released in 2002 held up to 4,000 songs. In 2003 the Itunes Music store opened offering 200,000 songs to the people of the U.S. for $0.99. The Ipod and Itunes goes international in 2004 to the UK, Germany, and France.
