The New Wave of Audio Book for Ipod.
Unfortunately for some MP3 manufacturers, Apple's Ipod has become synonymous with digital music players. Music, pictures, and video are only three of the capabilities of the Ipod. With its variable memory bank and its ease of use, Apple's Ipod and other digital players have become the next generation in listening devices. Another use not commonly thought of is an audio book for Ipod.

En La Ola Latina el reconocido escritor y galardonado periodista Jorge Ramos explora el impresionante crecimiento de los hispanos y analiza cómo los latinos estántransformando la economía, la cultura y la política de Estados Unidos.

En los últimos años la población latina en Estados Unidos ha crecido de una manera extraordinaria, dándoles a los hispanos la posibilidad de influir de forma muy significativa en las elecciones y en la vida política del país. En las elecciones del 2004, por ejemplo, se espera que el voto latino sea un factor determinante en por lo menos diez estados que tienen más del 10 por ciento de población hispana, incluyendo a Nueva York, Texas, California, Florida e Illinois. Es imposible ignorar una influencia tan grande y un voto tan importante.

Para muchos es difícil comprender que el cambio más dramático que está viviendo este país no tiene nada que ver con la guerra contra el terrorismo o con la economía; tiene que ver, simplemente, con la revolución demográfica impulsada por los latinos. Es la ola latina. En el 2002 los latinos se convirtieron, oficialmente, en el grupo minoritario más grande de Estados Unidos, superando los 38 millones de habitantes. La noticia sorprendió porque no se esperaba que esto ocurriera hasta, al menos, una década después. Este tipo de crecimiento presagia que los latinos tendrán un papel fundamental en el futuro de Estados Unidos y, particularmente, en la política. Todo tendrá que pasar por el filtro de los hispanos porque Estados Unidos se está latinizando. Si las tendencias no cambian, habrá más latinos que blancos no hispanos en el país el próximo siglo.

Los latinos -- tanto los inmigrantes recién llegados como aquellos que nacieron en Estados Unidos -- están cambiando para siempre el tejido social y cultural de este país. En La Ola Latina, Ramos afirma que será aquel partido político que mejor comprenda los deseos y las necesidades de los hispanos que viven en este país, el que eventualmente ganará las próximas elecciones.

Audio books are voice read recordings of printed material. The same genres of literature are available but just in an audio format. MP3 audio books are becoming increasingly popular as people continue to become more mobile and busy. When deciding to check out or buy an audio book it is important to know some of the subtle differences. For the full length version make sure that the cover or box reads "Unabridged" which means that nothing is shortened or condensed for length.

Do you want a straight reading of a book or do you prefer a multitude of voices acting out the written lines? That is an option with an audio book for Ipod or any other MP3 player. You can decide between the two different styles. If you are not sure as to which style you prefer consider listening to both versions and then making up your mind. Most retailers have samples of the files for you to listen before you purchase.

An audio book for Ipod works by uploading the information onto the player. There is a bit of a trick to doing it though because unlike uploading individual songs or even a complete compact disc it can be time consuming to have to scroll through the menu screen to find each track, especially as the discs can have the same track numbers. One tip experts advise is to manually rename each listing by a the title and the compact disc number so that there is no confusion when it comes time to listen to the next series. A simple format could be xx/yy.

There is one important fact that should be noted when it comes to discovering the difference between a music file or audio book for Ipod and any other brand of MP3 players. They do not use the same format with downloading. For complete instructions on learning to use an Ipod and knowing how to download an audio book check out the manufacturer's website for details. Also make sure and check what software is compatible.
