The story of the iPod seems to be the story of a magical life. If you haven't looked around, there are all kinds of devices and accessories that are created to be used with the very popular and successful iPod product offered by Apple. In fact, I can't think of a better coup that Apple could pull off against the giant PC industry, even Microsoft's new product, the Zune, is having a hard time even catching up to sales that the iPod seems to have no trouble with. collecting. Success is something that can define the explanation, but it can have a lot to do with the equally popular accessories and adornments that are made for each individual iPod product.
You might be wondering what this has to do with auto sound systems, but that's just another one of the many great iPod accessories that can be found on the market today. Seriously! Even some car manufacturers have upgrades that include iPod adapters that allow drivers to play music from their iPods through the tuner on their car audio systems. It almost seems too good to be true when you realize that you won't have to risk life and limb fiddling with your iPod while searching for that one obscure song somewhere on your playlist. There are other car stereo manufacturers that have devices and adapters that read and play iPod music, but you have to use an actual iPod for selection and any changes. Either way, when car manufacturers and stereo manufacturers like Pioneer and Alpine create stereos with the iPod in mind, you can be sure that it's a cultural phenomenon and not some fluke to be taken lightly .
In addition to auto sound systems, you'll find iDogs, iPets, iPod cases, iPod players (speakers and docks that you plug your iPod into so you can play without headphones), iPod alarm clocks, and my personal favorite, the iBaby (this is a stroller made by Kolcraft , which has a built-in iPod, speakers, and adapter so baby can listen to their favorite tunes while walking around town, or the iCrib (another nifty iPod device designed to keep baby calm—hopefully this nifty contraption is drool-proof) Needless to say, there are times in life when it's all about the accessories, and I've yet to see another MP3 manufacturer hold the torch to the iPod when it comes to offering options for buyers to customize their music makers.
If you're considering an auto audio system, chances are you either already have an iPod, or you're not seriously opposed to the idea of owning one. If you are one or both in your near future, I highly recommend you consider purchasing an auto sound system that will be fully compatible with your iPod system or any other MP3 type player you choose to use. However, I believe you will find better options designed with the iPod in mind, as none of the other brands (yet) have nearly the buyer base and purchasing power of iPod owners. Regardless of how you feel about it, all indications are that iPods are here to stay and you might as well jump on board when it comes to your auto audio system.
