The development of the MP3 file has allowed people around the world to store a gratuitous amount of music on their PCs / MP3 players. These files are organised under playlists, created by the listeners in order to make music more accessible for themselves, fully personalising their playlists based on genre, artist, time of release etc.
Most songs are now available for downloading from sites such as iTunes, however a large amount of music listeners – especially older listeners tend to convert music from CD to MP3 format, causing the discs to become obsolete in comparison with the modern digital format which requires no physical storage space.
Playlisting MP3 files also allows music listeners to share music with friends and family online through messaging programs and emailing – a good example of this is MSN Live messengers new sharing folders allowing users to place a large number of files into an online ‘bin’ which does not require a two-way live connection. Instead the files are left stored online until the receiver wishes to save and/or delete them.
