Turning Gaming Handhelds into Digital Audio Players: An Interview with Riley by @flwwhtrbt

There was a time when carrying your entire music library in your pocket felt futuristic. The ‘iPod era’. Drag-and-drop MP3 folders, carefully curated playlists, album art that may or may not have been the right resolution. It was messy, offline, personal, and somehow better because of it....

There have been many technological advances in my lifetime that I'd recognize as important, but only one is my favorite.

The fact that this magical device was only in production for seven years and has never been replaced or equaled in the marketplace just proves that capitalism is crap. Such a joy to have something so beautifully perfect in function.

It doesn't really meet all your points, but I wanted to share my first mp3 player, with a massive 128 megabytes of storage! The only thing it really lacks is a removable memory card. But it DID have a microphone, and I used it to record my first podcasts on!

Damn, I kinda hate to say this, but #samsung makes absolute bangers when it comes to bundled songs, especially for their #mp3players

The Zune is a killer mp3 player despite the crap it got. I LOVED my Zune.

I got a bit sad just now - on this early 2000s Dell I re-set up the other day, there's some old Zune art files on it. Some jerk broke my car window and took my Zune from my car when I lived in Florida probably ~2006. I had a beautiful brown one like the one below, and I'd still have it today if that dick hadn't taken it.

I WILL buy another one someday. 🔥

A brown Zune (brown casing, black features) that's on, with its menu open. Categories from top to bottom in the list are music, videos, pictures, social, radio, marketplace, settings, and a partially full battery indicator at the bottom.

Is there any well-known manufacturer apart from Sandisk making vaguely-reasonably-priced (under 200 euros/dollars) MP3 players that accept memory cards?

Holy crap. A new campaign was just launched for a new and hackable portable music player and it's already far beyond its goal. Coming from the iPod, Sansa Fuze, and Rockbox, it makes me so happy to see that people do in fact want dedicated music players again. This is beautiful. 🥲

Thank you for your efforts, @jacqueline, @buzzyrobin, @ailurux and @ErinRose!!!

Anyone know if there are any #mp3 players available which run on AA or AAA batteries? Doesn’t have to be compact.

Despite learning a lot about computers when I was a kid from the Apple Performa my family had, I've never been an Apple guy, despite owning an iMac once myself. I also really didn't like iTunes, so I never had an iPod.

Back around 2005ish when people were mostly getting iPods and before I got my beloved brown Zune (that someone later stole) I had a wild and wacky (and physically HUGE in comparison) DMC XClef mp3 player that looked like this. It had a LOT of storage space for the time, for the price, and had no software like Apple or Microsoft packaged in with their mp3 players. You didn't need it! You would just plug it up to your computer and transfer the damn files, as it *should* be. A method I use to this very day with my phones.

And I just looked it up to compare, 5th generation iPods around 2005 had about 30 or 60GB drives, these XClefs had 80 to 100GB. I had a friend joke saying I'd never fill it up - and I had to tell him I already pretty much had. 😂
