Music is something that stays with us. Our favourite tracks carry particular memories that we can look back on with fondness. Now our listening habits have completely changed with the growth of iPods and we take our music everywhere with us. Whether you’re going for a jog or are taking the train to work, you can listen to your favourite music and remember the time that you first heard that particular song, or a special memory it holds for you.

The great thing about personal music players is that you can take as many songs with you at all times as you like. The cheap iPod shuffle can store up to 1,000 songs; plenty to ensure that you won’t hear the same song twice when you’re working out at the gym.

The world’s smallest portable music player, the iPod Shuffle is perfect for listening to music when you’re exercising. The tiny gadget can be worn on your belt, in your jacket or your trouser pockets and won’t weigh you down, as it comes in at just 10.7g.

You get to choose between a 2GB and 4GB version of the Shuffle, both offering plenty of storage for dozens of albums. Navigating between the songs is easy with the controls on the player, while the VoiceOver feature will neatly tell you which song you’re listening to just in case you didn’t know. So you’ll never have to wrack your brains about the song title or artist, and with the ability to store 1,000 songs you can be forgiven for not remembering them all.

If you have clipped your iPod Shuffle to your belt you won’t be afraid to show it off to people. The Shuffle is a fashion accessory as well as a brilliant music player and the stylishly designed gadget looks just as sleek in a range of colours. Black is one of the more understated colours, but why not be bold and plump for the bright pink one?

The Shuffle is the baby of the iPod range, with Apple offering up a feast of different music players. The iPod Nano offers customers two different capacities, either 8GB or 16GB, and music playback isn’t all that this nifty little device can do.

The Nano has a 2.2-inch colour display, allowing you to watch the videos to your favourite tracks as well. You can even use the video recording functionality, while the stunning design is a given.

The intuitive iPod Touch can offer you an incredible 64GB of storage and flicking through your songs has never been easier with the touch screen functionality. This offers you unbeatable music on the go and is perfect for your hectic lives.

You’re not on the move all the time and the features of the music devices in the iPod range reflect this. At times you’ll want to sit back and relax and home, and for these moments your iPod can be used as a perfect home audio system.

Simply invest in an iPod dock. Then you can insert your iPod and enjoy fantastic sounding music at home. Like many things, music is better when it’s shared and you and your friends can enjoy the great quality sound offered by the great value docks available online. Then when you need to leave the house you can just take your iPod out of its dock, plug in your headphones and you’re ready for music on the go again.

The personal music player has come on leaps and bounds in recent years, but that doesn’t mean that there isn’t still a place for the radio in your home. Radios themselves have transformed recently and the availability of digital radio means that you can enjoy the same crystal clear sounds from your radio that you’d get from any portable music player.

You can say goodbye to the crackly reception you’d expect to get from traditional radios with new DAB digital models. These offer great sound quality at brilliant value and you’ll be able to access many stations that you won’t have heard before and who knows, you might just find a new favourite.

Investing in a Pure DAB Radio is the perfect way to update and improve your radio listening experience and you’ll never look back. You can even get a Pure Evoke 3 portable DAB radio that features traditional styling but the sound quality is thoroughly modern.

The Pure Evoke 3 is perfect if you’re looking for a music device to wake you up in the morning. Great as a bedside alarm clock, the Evoke 3 is also ideal on those days when you fancy a lie in and just want to listen to the radio and relax in the comfort of your bed.

Another device in the Pure DAB radio range, the Evoke 1-S can store up to 30 station presets, so you can easily find all of your favourite radio stations with a push of a button. The digital LCD display will also let you know what station you’re on just in case you were in any doubt. You can also take the portable radio around with you so you can enjoy radio listening on the move.

If it’s portability that you’re after the Pure One Mini Portable DAB digital radio is your best bet. The small and light music device is great for travelling and allows you to listen on the move. It’s also perfect for getting the football scores when you’re out and about so that you can keep right up to date with all the action.
