I got an Mp3 player around 2002...not sure on the name-brand. Probably not I-pod since it wasn't white.

I guess they were popular back then too I dunno. But I do know that it was a worthless piece of shit that never worked.

For now I'll just stick with my regular CD player and a couple CD's to go with it when I go out somewhere.

Not to mention they are easier and cheaper to replace if they're stolen (like that other thread).
