To think we went from 32-64MB MP3 players 10 years ago to 160GB today.

 

[xalphax]

you really had to choose your tracks wisely with only 32mb of space.

like when i first got my psp value pack with the 32mb memorystick, shame on you sony for dont shipping it with a larger one!

 

[Salamantis]

I've owned 5 MP3 players to date

 

[gblock247]

I think I'v gone through 7 or so(including an iPod and Zune)

 

[fischju]

Nice history lesson, that 64mb MP3 player cost as much as a 160GB PMP does now.......

 

[science]

I've had one shitty one off of eBay, an iPod mini, and iPod 60GB video, and now a 160GB classic. Good times.

 

[Jax]

My first one was a 256MB Creative MuVo.

Now I have a 4GB Creative ZEN!

 

[Urza]

32mb Audiovox -> 256mb Rave-MP -> 512mb Audiovox -> 1GB Samsung Y2 -> 20GB Zen Touch -> 4GB iPod Mini (replaced hdd with CF card) -> 4GB Sansa e200 -> 8GB iPhone

And I still have every one (only half still working though).

 

[JPH]

Generic Memorex MP3 Player -> iPod Video 30gb -> Black Zune 30gb -> Black iPod Nano 8gb -> Silver iPod 80gb

Good times indeed!

I've had... one. And it sucked.

Still using MiniDisc...

 

[Awdofgum]

i've still got my 5-gen iPod 30gig from it's intial release, although i'm running out of room so i may need to upgrade. 26/30 gigs

 

[airpirate545]

i only have a DS equipped with moonshell...

 

[jalaneme]

I've had... one. And it sucked.

Still using MiniDisc...

it's like saying betamax is the next blu ray

anyways my first mp3 player was a ipod video 60gb and now i have a classic 80gb, before i always used cd players, i remember when i used to carry wallets of cds on the bus if i wanted to listen to some music, now i can fit over a 1000 tracks in a mp3 player, it's very fascinating when you think about it.

Hmmm... Lets see what I have.

Sandisk E200 4 gig (Which I sold after getting a replacement for a broken one)
...........


That's it.

But I do plan on getting a Samsung P2 in the near future.

 

[DarkAura]

My first one was a 256MB Creative MuVo.

Now I have a 4GB Creative ZEN!

Same, just that mine was 512 MB and now I have a Creative Stone Plus. 2 GB.

 

[xJonny]

aigo 1GB cheap crap -> 5.5G iPod Video (with sort of Classic style firmware mod).

 

[Mewgia]

I've had 2 plus my DS...
Creative Zen Micro 5GB, broke and returned it plus about $40 for a Toshiba Giagbeat 40GBs, this malfunctioned too and I returned it for a Wii, just using my DS as an Mp3 player.

My Wii seems to have been stolen though so I don't have a proper MP3 player or a Wii now...

 

[BoneMonkey]

i remember in highschool before mp3's we would rip cd's into WAV format lol

 

[lolsjoel]

¡Feliz cumpleaños!

Right now, my primary MP3 player is a 16 GB iPod touch, my secondary iPod is an 8 GB nano. Before those, I've retired a 30 GB 5th gen, a 30 GB Photo and a 30 GB 4th gen. So I've been through many iPods in the last 4 years, but they've all been purchases with zero buyer's remorse!
