My history professor once told me that in ancient times, before people go to war, they usually played drums and other musical instruments to condition the warriors. This is to stimulate the fighting spirits of the fighters as they go to battle and face their nemesis. Today, people use music to battle their own personal wars like loneliness and pressures at work and school.
Compact Mp3 players are in demand right now as people want to carry music right at their pockets everywhere. For people like me who depend on music to relax my soul and body, they should visit Napster.com and download unlimited music from there.
