"It’s 9:20 p.m. on a recent Wednesday. P.Vo, known by day as Paul Vodra, is the first of 21 DJs who will play at this city’s version of an iPod DJ party. On this night, the iPod serves as the lounge’s source of music, roughly three songs at a time. No turntables. No vinyl. Bring an iPod. Be the DJ. Please sign your DJ name on the white board in the front.

"The iPod Jukebox night attracts mostly white-collar types in their twenties and thirties who heard about it from a friend of a friend, or read about it in a link to a blog. It’s perhaps the most public manifestation of how the iPod has gone mainstream, spawning an entire iPod culture that goes far beyond wearing those distinctive white earphones."
