Jobs also recognized that the best way to fill those iPods would be through digital sales. “It’s like the internet wasfor the delivery of music,” he told me in 2003, when the iTunes store debuted. But Jobs was adamant for some time that people always wanted totheir music.

Sure, I like the idea of listening to anything at any time, but Jobs was right when he said that people like to feel ownership of the music they love. These days, I cling to one island of certainty—a still-working iPod Classic with about 14,000 songs, each of which I personally put there.
