Is it true that you can play an MP3 on an iZ?
MP3 and iZ compatibility made simple
MP3 soundtracks have become popular in recent years. With MP3 technology it is easy and inexpensive to gain access to all kinds of music regardless of your tastes and preferences. The iZ makes your MP3 experience even more fun.
Momma Patty talks about iZs and MP3s…
If you are looking into buying an iZ you need to understand what it is and more importantly what it is not. The iZ is not an ipod or a MP3 player. It doesn’t actually play MP3s although it does have its own “radio station” that it draws original tunes from.
Rather, you play music from another music source through the iZ and iZ interacts with the music. The music that you play affects the iZ’s personality. The iZ lights up, its eyes bounce and it makes comical comments.
You can play MP3 music for the iZ to interact with using any MP3 player that has a headphone jack. For instance, if you have a portable MP3 player, you can plug the iZ into the headphone jack using the cable that comes with the iZ and the MP3 will play through the iZ.
You can also plug the iZ into a headphone jack on your computer to play MP3 music you have downloaded to the iZ so the iZ makes a great computer companion.
The kids -- boys and girls, youngsters and teens -- absolutely love the iZ. The teenagers are so into downloading their favorite MP3 tunes to see how the iZ will react to them. Watching them and their reaction to the iZ is almost as funny as the iZ itself.
What is really cool is, the kids are gaining exposure to different types of music that they might not otherwise listen to. Because the iZ acts different depending on the type of music it hears, the kids love to feed it different genres of music, even opera, to see what it will do.
The vast availability of huge varieties of music in MP3 format makes it easy for the kiddos to access all kinds of music increasing their exposure to what is out there rather than just want is popular with their age group.
