Collectors Snap Up Early MP3 Players
An anonymous reader writes "It looks like vintage MP3 portables are the hot new collectible for old radio connoisseurs.
On the cover of this month's edition of Antique Radio Magazine is Sony's first DAP, the Vaio Music Clip. The cover article is the second part of a series showcasing the first players by Sony, RCA, I2Go, and Intel (remember the Pocket Concert?). Part one, which was published in the December 2004 edition, covers the first flash unit the Eiger Labs MPMan F10 (the Rio PMP300 was second), and the first hard drive player the Personal Jukebox PJB-100. CNET also wrote about these first players last January, offering more details on the MPMan and the PJB-100"
Mine was good but I forgot to feed it. The conducter died and the remainder of the group disbanded.
Have you metaroderated recently?
"Aah, I remember my first Mac Mini. It was beautiful! All glowy and colorful and nice for the emailing and typing and things. Good times, good times."
"When did you get your Mini, Grandpa?"
"Should be here next Tuesday..."
"Hell! I remember when I listened to Mp3's in 64kb!! They don't encode things like they used to."
This is about digital music file players, not just MP3 players. The article even mentions that the first item, the Sony, would not play MP3's.
Nothing much changed there, then.

Did anyone see the second episode of the new Dr Who series? It was called The End of The World, and the Dr. and his assistant went to the future. WHile there, some future people bring out a jukebox and say "An ancient source of historic music...an IPod!" (or something like that). Kinda funny.
