My first true MP3 player was a RaveMP2100. Got it for free with $50 worth of MP3s from eMusic.com. Got my second, a Creative Nomad II, the same way. I think I had a Riovolt SP100 before these, but really considered it a cd player with MP3 capabilities. Still have them all!
Those were the days, when you could actually get things for free on the web. I remember getting 2 pairs of Asics cross trainers for free when WebMD.com started up!

wow, i thought i started late. i had ipod 4g for a few months in 2004, then sold it and eventually bought (to keep with my md slant) sony mz-rh10 (you know, the one with the d-class amp that sounded well, sony).

now i have ipod touch but ive had many many of differing companies in the meantime

Rio500 in 2001. I even had it pimped out in a leather case.This was said to be the best mp3 player for a long time. Especially since the Rios that followed were so crappy in design and used proprietary battery packs and such. I actually had to extract the last update from the windows exe with a hex editor to update mine on the mac which turned out to be really simple. It was the same as the mac updates only with a bunch of code attached. I did it while waiting for a reply from their tech support about when they were going to release a mac version. They said they wouldnt be able to do it...

So I released the file into the wild and I still get emails about it.

But I gave it to a friend who thought he could hack as much memory into it as he wanted. He wouldnt listen to me about firmware limitations and I dont think he ever did anything with it.

Oops sorry for so much info.

My first MP3 player was a Creative Muvo something or other. It was a USB stick where the stick fitted inside a small case. The case had the controls on it. It took one AAA battery. I think this was about 2001 or 2? I had an MD player in the late 1990s sometime and a couple of Sony Walkmans back in the 70s and 80s.

First MP3 player for me was a Creative Nomad Jukebox -- the original 5GB (or was it 6GB?) model. Had been a MiniDisc freak before that.

Mpman F20, it was the next version of F10. It was 1999.

IRCC it cost 600,000won, which was about 500$ in USD.



The sound was truly amazing, at that time.
