The iPod is a digital music player designed and marketed by Apple. Most iPod models store media on a built-in hard drive, while the smaller iPod shuffle and iPod nano use flash memory. Like most digital audio players, an iPod can serve as an external data storage device when connected to a computer. Discontinued versions of the iPod include two generations of the popular iPod mini and five generations of the full-sized iPod, all of which had monochrome screens before the introduction of color screens with the iPod photo of the fourth generation. The iPod is currently the world's most popular music player in terms of sales.

The bundled software used for uploading music, photos, and movies to the iPod is called iTunes. iTunes is a media interface application that stores a comprehensive library of the media on a user's computer, as well as being able to play and rip it from a CD (music only). The most recent incarnations of iPod and iTunes have video playing and organization features. Other forms of data can be added to iPod as if it were a normal data storage device.
