At its heart, digital media is nothing more than music, videos or data that can be transformed into digital codes and that can be transmitted electronically. That is a rather technical definition for something we all inherently understand. Today, digital media is all around us. We can see it in advertisements and marketing campaigns, hear it in the music we listen to and use it for business purposes. Digital media is so much more.
Today, the various forms of digital media can be seen almost everywhere we look. It is precisely because of this growing popularity that digital media players are becoming more and more common place. While it may be easy to consider the MP3 player the only form of digital media players, the truth is different player formats have been developed to meet a wide variety of needs.
Recently, we have seen an increase in the number of eBook readers sold. As a digital media format, eBooks have been transformed from a relatively unpopular format to the one of the leading publishing platforms. More and more people are turning to readers for all their reading needs.
Digital pictures frames are another example of digital media devices. These allow users to store and display hundreds of pictures and are relatively inexpensive.
Perhaps the greatest digital media player is the internet itself. While it isn’t typically considered as such, when you consider the definition of ’digital media player’ it is obvious that the Internet fits. It allows us to store and retrieve graphics, videos, audio and pictures.
