Question: What was the first song ever to play on an iPod?
It was Spiller's Groovejet. It played on the first working prototype (not the one shown here - that's just foamboard and fishing weights).
I know this because I've just read the excellent article on the birth of the iPod in this month's wired magazine. You can read it here.
Of course, Steve Jobs came up with the name that spawned a culture.
I had an argument with the wife last night. I asked her the same question as above and she asked why would I think that she needed to know that piece of useless information. "But the iPod changed the world!", I answered back. She begged to differ. Thinking about it, it probably didn't change the world as a whole, but just the world's of the iPod owners and those in the music industry. I won't bother her with any more 'useless info' again. Just you. But by going out of your way to read this, you must be interested in that sort of stuff in the first place. Or were you googled here by mistake?
