New York, NY (Top40 Charts/ Shore Fire Media) With the launch of the iPhone 5, we're reminded of all of the old iPhones, iPods, and digital devices sitting around, and the unique ways they can be put to use.

Between 2007 and 2010, more than 50 million iPods were sold annually worldwide, and more than 40 million were sold in 2011. As many of these devices are outdated or replaced by now, Music & Memory encourages donations of new and gently used iPods, iPads, and other Apple music players on an ongoing basis.
