More Than 1 In 10 U.S. Adults Have An IPod

TechWeb - More than 22 million U.S. adults have an iPod or an MP3 player, with men more likely than women to be carrying the digital music devices, according to the Pew Internet and American Life Project.

The number amounts to 11 percent of the U.S. adult population that's 18 years old or older, the research firm said in a report released this week. Taking teenagers into account and it's safe to say there are several million more people carrying the popular iPod from Apple Computer Inc. or a competing MP3 player.

Men are more likely have a music player than women, 14 percent versus 9 percent, respectively; and nearly 1 in 5 people under 30 have the devices, Pew found. Fourteen percent of adults between the ages of 30 to 48 had music players.

The devices were mostly for the well to do. A quarter of the devices were owned by people in households earning more than $75,000, with 10 percent living in households earning $30,000 to $75,000. Households making less than $30,000 accounted for only 6 percent of the devices.

Broadband access was strongly associated with ownership of the players. Some 23 percent of people with broadband at home have iPods/MP3 players, compared to 9 percent of those who have dialup connections. Almost a third of people with broadband access at home and work had the devices.

Isn't it a great song - that link is priceless !!

Thanks for the free advertising for that link.

I was hoping it would be a surprise to everyone who went to the site - but letting them know what song is being played is even better.

In follow-up to the list cheese101 provided us with recently . . . .

I received this from a friend of mine just a few minutes ago (it is still warm :)

You may not believe this, but there is some truth to the medicinal qualities of Ketchup. The stomach cancer incidence in the USA is very low compared to especially the Far East, and especially Japan. This is the result of our use of Ketchup, whereas that is unheard of in Japan and other countries in the Far East. What does Ketchup have to do with it, you may ask? Ketchup contains antioxidants that prevent stomach cancer! Maybe the Japanese should start putting Ketchup on their sushi! ... That's the truth, believe it or not!

DCK, are you pulling my leg?

Ever played any frozen tennis ball road hockey?

PhryDom - Good to see back around these parts bro. I have already had her letting me know why she should be on the next CD!!!! lol Also, maybe because she is in the band I am in at the moment - look Here and you should see her next to me.

There are some things you wish you hadn't said, the more you try to explain them.... the more confusing it gets- well saying "yes AND no" to Jazzzzzzzy's question (not Mikesb- sorry!) about whether Satch's music is considered mainstream has to be one of the more recent ones I can think of! The only reason I said that was because I think certain tracks would probably be listened to /purchased more widely if greater airplay was given to it, whereas other tracks may appeal to a narrower audience... I hope that makes sense,as I think I am losing the plot. Anyway.....

Estrela & Mikesb- :-)

Jazzzzzzzy : sorry about my brain. :-) And no, I'm not blonde before anyone asks!!!! Just having a bad day in the thinking straight department...

962- That's awesome new's! I am really happy for you! This new system should be hust what the doctor ordered :-) I was alway's intersted in the Line 6 pod deal. But was so afraid That My ineptness on enginerring skill's would screw it all up. Plaese let Me know How it work's out! Also, Hay I record using a small watt practice amp, Myself to record with. A homemade Job with A Mind boggling, and gruleing, 6 watts of untamed PowerLOL I use it with My Homemade 4-10's And Milk them really well. So I get this "big" sound, sometimes i will track 3 or 4 guitar's and combine to get an' even bigger sound. And i have been learning some valuable EQing trick's! That Paul Clark, Is A genius! We were discussing different freqencies, Like for bass roll off, and tighter Eq mid punch, and We both agreed that sometimes less is More! Such as rolling off the bass hz to 20 or even more, Is somehow fatter! It dosen't seem like it but experimenting with it at differnt roll of setting's sure makes a whale of a differnce! Anyhow Keep Me informed at how the line 6 pod work's and Much luck getting Your rig set up! Oh BTW- My "califronia Babe" She is really Cute :)) And is somewhat like me, But I tell you, She is a firehouse! I thought i was fast!LOL Take care!

Stevee T! YES!!! You are right about snow storm. 12 inches of snow, but no so much like in USA. Jethro Tull will give a concert in Moskow. COOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Today I bought a tickets to Graham Bonnett's performance. oh yeah!!!!!!!! And Steve maybe you know whether Vai has recieved Grammy if NO I'll "crash and burn" something!!!!

Delfino, what does one do when they get hit in the ol' meat & potatoes? Besides dropping over and sucking air - does ice help, possibly putting your nuts in a cooler or something maybe? Seriously though. Inquiring minds need to know.

Michelle: Nothing helps. You just have to wait it out. The weird part is not only does it hurt down there, it also hurts in the pit of your stomach at the same time. Ice would only help if it was *really* hot outside.

The two most self-pitying moments of agony I can remember have to be having my appendix removed when I was 8 (it nearly burst...eeeewwww....) and dislocating my knee when I was 13, whilst ice-skating...

Steven- glad to hear it! I am certainly enjoying my week off. Have done most of my paperwork now, so it's now just relax until Monday morning!!!
