We all know what the Apple iPod is capable of. The most obvious function of the iPod is to download and playback songs that come from a computer. There are also iPods that can play movies, videos and show pictures and photographs as well. The Apple iPod Nano is truly a great item for people to use to bring all of their favorite songs with them. The iPod is really a super-cool product.

So, why would you want to waste the capabilities and abilities of your iPod Nano on stuff you already know and like?

Now, there are always favorite songs that you have to have with you each and every minute of each and every day. So, go for it and place those certain songs onto your Apple iPod Nano. Although that's a nice thing to use your iPod for, it's also a very boring and lame thing to do. It's like going to a high-end car dealer to test drive a Porsche, but you pout with your arms folded because you want to drive a Tempo. What have you got to lose, besides experiencing and discovering something new?

You can translate the same principle to the usage of the iPod. The iPod is designed to store songs downloaded from a computer onto it. Why not then take advantage of that fact and listen to everything you've ever wanted to hear and listen to? Doing this will either cost you nothing or about a dollar a track, depending on your downloading methods. If you're paying for your downloads (good for you), set aside some money for new chances and discoveries.

Remember the old days of buying tapes and CD's? Usually, one had to buy the whole album to be able to really check it out. And, if you found that the artist or album wasn't to your liking - or just plain sucked - well, too bad for you, because most record stores wouldn't take the album back. Many people complained that this wasn't particularly fair, but, hey, that's the way it was. Then, the Apple iPod Nano arrived.

The opportunity is now here to check out just about every song and artist on the planet. So, what do most people do? Most people, though, only download the popular song of the time onto their Apple iPod Nano. Now, there's nothing wrong with that at all - it's your iPod, do what you want with it. But, the opportunity now presents itself where you can take a chance and discover something you've always wanted to hear, without any risk to you.

Another great thing about the iPod is its portability. You can take your music and singers with you wherever and whenever you want. That gives you more options of where and when you listen to your new discoveries. You can get the tracks on your iPod, go for a walk or sit quietly and really immerse yourself and decide if you really like the songs and singers or not.

The Apple iPod is incredibly easy and fun to have and use. That being said, some people aren't really exploring the limits of their iPod because they don't realize that the iPod is designed to play music - all kinds and forms of music.
