anyone remember the USB audio players for music like the iPod but cheap and tiny, mine finally died USB A in and 3.35mm out RIP my old friend
My first MP3 player was a cheap Sandisk Sansa E130 in the age of the iPod. One of the best MP3 players I've ever had, used AAA batteries, came with a whopping 8GB storage AND SD card support! Great sound and battery life, 5/5 stars.
Edit: I remembered wrong, it came with 512MB storage, the SD card I had was 8GB lmao
I have a similar one and installed Rockbox on it. Now it can not only play music, but also Doom. 🙃
Oh, I remember! My first MP3 player could play music from an SD card, no idea of the brand. Later I got Creative Muvo V200 that also had a radio.
In 2006 I got my fist phone, Nokia 6630. Some years afterwards I bought a headphone adapter for it, a 2GB memory card and downloaded a good MP3 player software. Then I used it as my "daily driver" for listening MP3's for years. At the time it wasn't really common to use only a phone for such purpose.
I had the muvo!! I loved that thing.
Smartphones really did wipe out a ton of those single-function devices.
