I waited a long time before buying my mp3 player.我等待了很久,才买我的MP3随身听.   I first wanted one right when the first-generation iPods became popular, since carrying all of my music around in my pocket was instantly attractive.首先,我想要一个正确的,当第一代iPod走红,由于携带所有我的音乐左右衣袋当场吸引力.   I held back for awhile, first because they were expensive and later because it seemed like everyone had an iPod; I didn’t want to just be a sheep and get an mp3 player because everybody else was doing it.我举行了回来一会儿,第一,因为他们都非常昂贵,后来,因为这好像是每个人都iPod的;我不想只是一只羊,得到了MP3播放器,因为所有人都被这样的.   Finally, after a couple of Christmases and birthdays without any sign of an mp3 player I broke down and got myself an iPod, a 3rd generation 10 gigabyte mp3 player and started feeding my music into it.最后,经过几个christmases生日,并没有任何迹象MP3随身听,我破裂后,又找来自己iPod上,第三代10技嘉MP3播放器,并开始喂养我的音乐进去.

I rode the bus back and forth to campus every day, and though sometimes I brought my CD player along for the ride it was cumbersome to bring along my CDs.   I tried an mp3 CD player which could store more songs on a CD, up to 200, but its interface was cumbersome to use and I couldn’t find the music I wanted when I wanted it.我乘坐的巴士穿梭在校园的每一天,虽然有时候我带我的CD播放机跟着它是累赘,带动了我国光盘.我尝试一次新的MP3CD播放器可以储存更多的歌曲光盘,多达200名,但其界面不方便使用,而我再也找不到音乐,我想,当我想这样做.   Eventually I just rode the bus without music, but once I picked up my iPod that all changed.最终我只是坐公共汽车没有音乐,但一旦我拿起我的iPod改变了一切.   All of my music was at my fingertips, easily accessed and in a handheld package.所有我的音乐在我的指尖,便于存取,在掌上电脑包.   The mp3 player was a boon to my bus rides; I used it every day.该MP3播放器是一个好事,我搭乘公车;我用每天.     

Today’s iPods are quite a bit classier than my old 3rd generation mp3 player; they’ve got more storage and now have video and photo capabilities.今天的iPod很有点分类器比我的老第三代MP3播放器;拿到更多的仓库,现在有录象和图片的能力.   I’ve stuck with my older model though, as it has no moving parts on the outside I don’t have to worry about getting sand or grime in the controls while kayaking or rock climbing.我背负着我的旧模式虽然由于它具有无运动部件在外面我不用担心沙子或在污浊管制,而独木舟或者攀岩.   I did have to replace the battery after two years of use; it was a simple procedure I did at home.我也曾经有更换电池,经过两年的使用;这是一个简单的程序,我以前在家.   Instead of sending it in to Apple for a $60 replacement I was able to order the battery for $20 and do it myself.而不把它以苹果为60元更换,我能够以电池为20元去做自己.     

There are lots of good mp3 players on the market, from Nomad to Dell it seems like most major electronics manufacturers are trying to catch up to Apple’s lead with the iPod.有很多很好的MP3播放器在市场上从游牧到戴尔好像最大型电子厂商正设法赶上苹果电脑的铅iPod支持.   If you need information on company or the brand, you can check the internet and find the latest trend.如果你需要信息的公司或品牌,你可以看看网上找到最新的发展趋势. Many of the other mp3 players are probably quality devices, and some of them are definitely cheaper than the iPod, but so far I’ve been nothing but happy with my iPod.其他很多的MP3播放器,大概质量装置其中有些人是绝对便宜的iPod,但到目前为止,我一直没有快乐,但我的iPod.   In fact, I don’t think I know anyone who’s gotten an iPod who’s been unhappy with it.事实上,我想我不知道任何人学会了iPod的人的不满意.   It’s something to take with a grain of salt, but something to consider nonetheless.它东西可以采取以粮盐,但有一点需要考虑的不过.
