Guiding Apple through its comeback, Steve Jobs comes up with a clever strategy to make the Mac the center of everyone’s digital life. The problem is, he’s failed to integrate music into the mix—and Apple will have to scramble to catch up.
On this episode of Focused, Mike and I review Q3 and talk through our plans for the rest of the year. We look at keeping a menu of opportunities without turning every interesting idea into a commitment, and setting quarterly milestones for projects that won’t fit into twelve weeks.
We also compare notes on what we’re choosing to leave undone. There’s an overhead audit, a little forgiveness for plans that changed, and a new creative challenge for each of us.

Two decades after the Walkman had revolutionized personal audio, a new compressed digital audio format emerged that would redefine how we listen to music. We kick off our series about the origin of Apple’s hit MP3 player, the iPod.
