Nama saya Nayyif Saputra. Orang-orang sering memanggil saya Nayyif. Saya terlahir dari keluarga yang sederhana. Setiap harinya bapak dan ibu saya menggarap rezeki dengan berjualan di pasar. Dari hasil berjualan itulah sehingga saya bisa bersekolah seperti sekarang. Untung saja biaya untuk sekolah di SMU saya belum mahal. Jadi saya bisa sekolah dengan tenang, tetapi walaupun begitu masih ada juga yang mengganjal hati saya, karena sebentar lagi saya akan lulus dari SMU dan berlanjut ke perguruan tinggi. Tapi mungkin berlanjut ke perguruan tinggi itu hanya kemungkinan kecil saja, jika orang tua tak punya biaya, maka dengan hati yang ikhlas saya akan berhenti hingga SMU saja.
“Bu, boleh gak Nayyif lanjutin sekolah Nayyif setelah SMU ini? Tapi kalau ibu nggak izinin juga gak papa kok bu’, Nayyif ngerti.” Tanya saya dengan wajah sedikit lesu.
“Hmm. Ibu’ bukannya gak izinin Yif, tapi… kondisi ekonomi kita nggak memungkinkan. Ibu’ seneng kalo kamu bisa sekolah lebih tinggi, ibu seneng sekali, tapi… ya udahlah nggak usah di pikirin dulu. Nanti kalo ibu’ sama bapak punya ua

JUMENA prajurit Kadipaten Losari yang tengah tertidur pulas tak jauh dari pintu gerbang timur, tenggelam dalam mimpi aneh. Dalam mimpi dia melihat dua orang lelaki berkepala sangat besar mendaki keluar dari sebuah jurang yang mengepulkan kabut kelabu. Lelaki pertama seorang kakek bungkuk bertongkat kayu dan bercaping hijau, menaiki jurang sambil memegang lengan lelaki muda di belakangnya. Padahal lelaki muda inilah yang seharusnya menuntun si kakek naik ke atas jurang. Setiap dia menarik nafas panjang, caping hijau di atas kepala si kakek naik ke atas sampai satu jengkal lalu turun lagi. Waktu caping naik ke atas kelihatan kepala si kakek yang luar biasa besar.
Kabut tipis sesaat lenyap. Sekilas dalam mimpinya Jumena melihat wajah orang di belakang kakek bercaping. Prajurit ini tersentak dari mimpi dan terbangun duduk. Mukanya keringatan padahal saat itu dia berada di udara terbuka dan malam hari pula. Dia mengenali wajah itu. Tapi mengapa kepalanya berubah besar?

"Ini kali kedua aku mengimpikan Raden Rayi Jantra dan kakek bercaping itu.

The audio books market has taken a turn recently toward audio books for iPods. With iPod products becoming so popular, many audio book companies are realizing the tremendous opportunity of using iPods to store and distribute audio books.

Let's take a look at how this works along with some pros and cons of developing audio books for iPods.

How do iPods Work for Audio Books?

Audio books are simply books that are spoken and then stored on an audio cassette tape or compact disk (CD). Those who lack the time or ability to read books often find audio books to be very enjoyable.

Children enjoy listening to their stories read aloud by audio book. They make great baby-sitters in the car while taking long family trips. Also, those traveling alone can enjoy a good book while driving. It's a great way to read without actually "reading!"

The iPod Stampede

Electronics consumers have been rushing out to get the latest technology called "iPods." Why? Because iPods have revolutionized the way audio is stored. Ipods are smaller than CD players, but can hold far more audio data.

Consumers can store their favorite music from many CDs onto one iPod unit. This saves time and storage space!

iPod owners can take their music or book on iPod with them wherever they go. Whether it's in the car, while taking a walk or bike ride, hiking, boating, etc. The possibilities are endless.

Pros of Creating Audio Books for iPods

There are many pros of creating audio books for iPods such as making more than one book available on one iPod player, providing an easy way to read books for those with a busy time schedule, and allowing children to listen to their favorite stories.

Many libraries are now offering iPod audio books on rental as they become more popular. This will save space and reduce maintenance costs. Books on tape usually require many tapes for one book. Books on CD reduced this to several CDs. With iPods, and entire book can fit into one file.

Another advantage is audio book files can be downloaded online from any computer. Public domain books are usually available at no charge.

Cons of Creating Audio Books for iPods

Though iPods can certainly make life easier for bookworms and music lovers there are a few disadvantages to creating audio books for iPods. iPods are still fairly new.

With any new technology, there will be many changes and "improvements" over the years to help quality, add features, increase memory, etc. iPods are still fairly expensive. Each year will offer new iPod technology that's better than the year before. So, consumers should be prepared to spend more dollars on new improved iPods to stay ahead.

Another disadvantage is that not all books are available for iPod just yet. So, it might be difficult to find some audio books.

To sum it up, audio books for iPods can provide great entertainment for those who love to read. And, as they become more popular, iPods will likely become more affordable for everyone.

iPod compatibility on the original iPod was designed for use with Macintosh computers running Mac OS 9 or Mac OS X but Apple began selling a Windows-compatible iPod too on July 17, 2002. Apple released a Windows version of iTunes on October 16, 2003; previously, Windows users needed third-party
software such as Musicmatch Jukebox (included with Windows iPods before the release of the Windows version of iTunes), ephPod, or XPlay to manage the music on their iPods.

iPods originally shipped formatted with Apple's native filesystem, HFS Plus (Hierarchical File System) and consequently would only work with Apple's Mac OS because Windows does not support HFS Plus. An iPod formatted with HFS Plus is able to serve as a boot disk for a Macintosh computer, allowing one to have a usable, portable operating system installed on their iPod.

With the advent of the windows-compatible iPod, Apple switched iPod's default file system to FAT32 because FAT32 is the only file system that can be used natively with both Mac OS and Windows. Fourth-generation and earlier iPods could still be made to boot a Macintosh by reformatting their hard disks with HFS Plus.

The iPodLinux project has successfully ported an ARM (Advanced RISC Machine) version of the Linux kernel to run on iPods. It currently supports first through third generation iPods, and features simple installers for Mac OS X and Windows. The Linux interface is known as "Podzilla".

The interface will run on all iPods, however the development team does not support its usage. The iPod uses standard USB and FireWire mass-storage connectivity, and therefore any system with mass-storage support can mount it and use it as an external hard drive. The iPod will also charge from any powered USB or Firewire port, regardless of software support.
