birdJam for Apple iPod

image birdJam organizes and formats multiple bird songs and definitive photography for the wildly popular and easy-to-use Apple iPod®.  In less than 15 seconds, you can find and listen to any of 650 species of North American birds--plus more for Costa Rica and Sonora, Mexico. 
 
Unlike CDs or tapes, it is easy and fast to scroll through the well-organized birdJam playlists in the field or at home.  

birdJam runs on Apple iPods, considered by most critics to be the best digital music player on the market.  The photograph here shows birdJam on the new iPod Touch, but birdJam runs on any iPod other than the Shuffle--including the Nano and Classic iPods, as well as the iPhone.  
 

A birdJam includes several key elements: 

1. An Apple iPod® (naturally) which includes earbuds and a USB cable.
2. The birdJam Maker Software which comes complete with definitive photos.
3. The bird song CD collection(s) to match whatever version of birdJam Maker you selected.
4. Optionally, you may wish to add a speaker or a wall/car charger. 

You can purchase a pre-loaded birdJam iPod or you can create your own by only purchasing the software, bird song CDs and/or accessories that you need.  The intuitive and easy-to-navigate birdJam interface can be operated with one hand, making it a perfect tool to prepare and study, and to validate bird IDs whether you’re at home, in the car, or in the field. Here’s what a few “birdJammers” have to say. 
 

Lang Elliott, of NatureSound Studio and who recorded many of these outstanding bird songs, says,  

“Every birder will have to have one of these.  Accessing a comprehensive bird song library using birdJam is way more convenient than dealing with multiple CDs--there’s really no comparison.”


 
birdJam includes an extremely well-organized series of bird song playlists for fast and easy access. The North American birdJam versions use songs from the excellent Stokes Field Guide to Bird Songs CDs, Eastern and Western regions. The intuitive playlists group birds alphabetically, taxonomically, by habitat or family groups, “Sound Alikes,” festivals and other categories.
