pronunciation of ipod, ipad, mp3 player

[Harris, Adrienne M.]

Yes, thank you--that's what I needed!  I was concerned about the actual pronunciation, rather than the spelling.  I know they usually write ipod and mp3, etc. I encountered [εm pi trešnij plejer] in a 2006 pop song.  Maybe that pronunciation's been eclipsed by the simple эм-пи-три плеер.  Adrienne

I know for sure that iPod is pronounced: Ай-под with a deep 'o'.  (At least,
here in Sevastopol.)
Not sure about iPad. Meanwhile, and mp3 player is: эм-пи-три плеер.

Hope this helps,

Mark
