Music is an art form that has been around through the centuries. From the beginning, live music was the only way to access new music. Later on, the record player was invented in order to play vinyl records. A record player, also known as a phonograph, was used in the early 20^th century in order to record and replay music. The records could hold about 25 minutes of music but could be flipped over and hold more music. Back when record players were used, this was a great amount of music.

Today, music is everywhere. As phonographs were used back in the day, iPods are the new trend. An iPod is a device that plays music as well as other features. IPods, unlike record albums, are able to hold thousands of songs. With the increased amount of technology today, iPods have the capacity of holding music more music than was ever thought possible back in the day of records. There are different types of iPods. On an iPod Touch, for example, you are able to play music, take pictures, read books and play games. This device is taking the place of many other forms of media such as a phonograph and a hard copy book. As years progress, technology finds new ways of replacing old media with new media.
