      No, I consider WinAmp a trojan kit with an OPTIONAL mp3 player.

    "the Cure-Alpha mp3 player has been taken off the market due to it causing brain cancer, when interviewed, a spokesperson simply stated, come on who would have thought radiation close to someones brain would cause problems"

    2. MP3 Toilet ... Technically, it's not a stand alone MP3 player, but rather one that works with your toilet.

  8. Billy Bass Mouth by Ranger · · Score: 2, Funny

    I think a Billy Bass Mouth would make a strange MP3 player or any of the dozens of different singing fish, birds, or animals on the market. What about a lava lamp or pet rock mp3 player? Just think of all the sex toy MP3 players you could make. Imagine a dildo playing NIN "Closer". The possibilities are endless.

    There's no display and you have to learn to interpret its Flashing Light Language (tm) to understand what's going on.

    Well, yeah, of course it breaks if you're throwing it against the wall in frustration at trying to decode the binary language of Pez dispensers.
