@imthehumanoid And actually, it's the simplest and most brilliant design. A Muvo 100. Basically a USB stick with a soundcard and a headphone jack, run by a single AAA battery. No ads, no upgrades... And still works many years later.

Creative Nomad IIc: When Music Was Still Physical

In this blast from the past review/retrospective, I take a look at my personal "holy grail" of an MP3 player from the year 2000.

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. 😂
