Canadian university students would prefer MP3 players over car radios

March 30, 2007 At Wilfrid Laurier University in Waterloo, Ontario, Canada, students are finding that popular MP3 players, such as Apple's iPod, are very convenient devices for listening to music at the gym, while traveling on foot, and in the car.

In a recent ad-hoc survey conducted by Wikinews contributor Darren Mar, 150 students were randomly pulled aside in the hallways of the university, and asked if they own an MP3 player. 94 of the 150 students (62.66%) did in fact own MP3 devices, most of who were found to be carrying it on them when questioned. There was one simple follow up question for those who had a player: "If it were possible to have complete and safe control of the device on the steering wheel of a car, would you rather listen to your device, or the radio?" There were three answers possible, yes, no or both. Of the 94, 78 (82.98%) said yes, eleven (11.70%) said no, and five (5.32%) said both. The reporting took place primarily on March 16, 2007. The reasons for those who would listen to their device were commercial free music, personalized choice of music, and complete control of what you are listening to.

This study was motivated by the new design of 2006+ model cars. Many are being built with auxiliary jacks for the stock radio, allowing the driver to easily connect any audio playing device to the car's sound system with a simple 3.5mm plug. What's more, cars in the upper price echelon are being built with (1) a custom made area in the dash for MP3 players (iPod's being the most popular), and (2) implementing audio device control right onto the steering wheel. A good example of this is the Ford Fusion or the 2007 Lexus IS250: "The centre console input port allows an iPod, MP3 or Windows Media Audio player to be plugged into the IS audio system."

MP3 Players Sneak Up On Airwaves
Welcome to Wikinews! Thanks for creating MP3 Players Sneak Up On Airwaves, we appreciate articles like this. This article appears to be what Wikinews calls original reporting. Wikinews articles must cite sources for all assertions they make. In the case of original reporting, you are the source. The way we usually deal with this is for you to place a comment on the article talk page, stating who you are, what your relationship is to the story you are covering, and describing the nature of the reporting (i.e. interviewing, taking notes, observing events, etc). You should also read Original reporting.

If you are intimately involved in the event being reported, it may be more appropriate for you to request an interview, rather than write an article.

Discussion about your article will occur on the article talk page. Please go there to participate in the discussion with other Wikinews contributors. Keep at it and try to get this article published, which can sometimes be difficult, but you will find that it is worth the effort. — Fellow Wiki  Newsie   (sign here!)  21:41, 27 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Hi. The image of the ipod that you uploaded is a copyrighted image from . I have deleted it. There are plenty of ipod images at Wikimedia Commons. Just copy/paste the name of the image (e.g. Image:Example.jpg) to Wikinews. — Fellow Wiki  Newsie   (sign here!)  23:44, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

 * I understand your frustration with original reporting. You can reveal the information by emailing it to a site administrator of your choice (see WN:A), who will confirm that he/she has received the information on the article's talk page. It would indeed be advisable to scan your notes and submit them for our review, but I'm sure we can publish the article before you've had the time to do that.--Steven Fruitsmaak (Reply) 20:05, 29 March 2007 (UTC)

 * If, per Stevenfruitsmaak's comment above you need to email identifying information to an administrator to back up your story, my email address is brian@openvms-rocks.com and I am both an administrator and accredited reporter. Any personally identifying information you send will be kept in confidence, and all I'll do is detail that you've satisfactorily identified yourself on the article talk page. --Brian McNeil / talk 20:14, 29 March 2007 (UTC)

Comments:Canadian university students would prefer MP3 players over car radios

I think that this article is so true...we are really going to see radio disappearing before we know it. It makes sense also that the university population is utilizing the new tech such as I-Pods so frequently - they are just more convenient. Not to mention their sound quality, which is extraordinary. An interesting piece.

I have one of the original iPods that I listen to when Im in the car. I use one of the old FM transmitters that first came out for the iPod to listen to my music in the car. The audio quality is not that great (sometimes it just goes quiet), and I have to take my eyes off the road to change the music, but I still do it. If I had a car that allowed my iPod to plug right into the system AND be able to use radio controls, I'd be in heaven (I mean look what Im going through now). Come to think of it, I have not listened to the radio in the car in ages. Really, the only thing going for the radio now is the weather and the traffic reports, both of which I check on the news or online before I go to work anyway.

Your account will be renamed
Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Drewharlow8. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Drewharlow8~enwikinews that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours, Keegan Peterzell Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation 23:16, 17 March 2015 (UTC)

Renamed
 This account has been renamed as part of single-user login finalisation. If you own this account you can |log in using your previous username and password for more information. If you do not like this account's new name, you can choose your own using this form after logging in: . -- Keegan (WMF) (talk) 06:30, 21 April 2015 (UTC)
