How the iPod changed the world - with Patrick Freyne

In October 2001, Apple chief executive Steve Jobs debuted the original iPod, the first MP3 player that could hold 1,000 songs and had a 10-hour battery life.

In May the company announced it was discontinuing the iconic device, saying other gadgets have made the iPod redundant.

Patrick Freyne talks to Conor Pope about how the iPod transformed the way we consume music and the impact it has had on the relationship between music, culture and identity.
