If you are an Apple user, I think you must be familiar with iPod, which has several series of products such as iPod Touch, Nano, Shuffle, etc. iPod products are often used to play music and video and the formats always used by iPod is AAC, MP3, WAV, H.264 and MPEG-4. But not everyone can be content with its playing experience.
