Many phone companies are launching features where your favorite songs are stored right
alongside your contacts. Motorola has even teamed up with the popular iTunes to offer
customers access to their tunes through their phones. You can listen through headphones or out
loud on the phone’s speakers. Right now, most phones can only store up to 100 songs, far less
than most MP3 players, and the feature is still expensive. However, we can expect phones to
continue to offer more memory for less money – making it easier for kids to plug in to their music
on the go.
What to watch out for:
Buying music online can be expensive – help your kids create a music budget.
It is easier to “impulse buy” when you can buy music online straight from your cell
phone. Talk to your kids about how and when to buy music.
Ask your kids what they are listening to on their phones. Try to listen to it as well
when you can!
