"I couldn't walk further than 10 steps on campus without listening to music." --Ashley Hollinger, ASU sophomore
And such was life at the start of a new school year on the sweltering, sun-drenched ASU campus, where classes kicked off Aug. 21.

Earphones attached to iPods of every size were standard uniform as students walked to class with heads down, tapping text messages on their Razr phones and answering e-mails on their BlackBerrys.
Some students said they use iPods to download lectures or recordings of campus events and presentations.
