Abstract
This chapter explains the file structure of the iPod and highlights how evidence can be hidden within the iPod. The MP3 technology led to two of the first file-transferring networks: Napster and Gnutella, which allowed users to share and download music without purchasing it, leading to government and retail industry outrage and uproar. Soon after MP3 technology caught on, the first digital media players became available, but there was still not a commercially viable way to legally purchase and download MP3s until 2000-2001, when Apple released the iPod and its iTunes online retail download service. Suddenly consumers had a very good way to legally purchase music and transfer it to their iPods or other digital media players. The digital music industry boomed, and since then it has become a powerful segment of the music business as a whole.
