Changes in the market will likely split into all three markets
the way as stated in the title above. Most of it really depends
on the Americans and Europeans and which continent will be more
aggressive in marketing. Basically Europeans tend to like their
gadgets in one source. But Americans seem to have more than one
gizmo on them. Music players probably will not get much smaller

Future of digital music
Flash memory players may eventually not be able to keep up with
the hard drive mp3 players due to manufacturers working on
potentially offering more storage where 5 to 10 gigabit players
will become available on the hard drive end. Going forward, they
could be all about video and image playback just like they are

manufactures and software companies are convinced their
copyright is secure since being such a new area in music

Future music around the house
More music digital video will eventually change music listening
at home. Manufactures are constantly creating devices to take
music from a computer and have it play hi fi digital music on
your home stereo. There are a few wireless systems currently
available on the market, like the wireless music centre from
Phillips, the Sonos digital music system, or Microsoft's media
center extender. Apple also has it own product called airport
express. All of these can stream wireless music around your
home.
