I had my first portable mp3 player by that year.

    That I don't remember getting until about 06. But the coolest thing about the one I got, it had two parts. The first part was the main body where you put your headphones jack. The second part connected to the first with a standard USB port, and that was where the flash storage was. So it was basically a bog standard USB drive, you plug it into your computer, load MP3s on it, and plug it back into the player. If a whole 64 MEGABYTES wasn't enough for you, you could just carry multiple sticks. Genius design, wish I still had that thing.

    Oh hell yeah, found a picture online. Before the iPod, this was considered chic.

    A Creative brand MP3 player, circa 2005. The main housing holds into a glorified USB stick that you can load songs into with your computer.

    Nice! Mine was the RCA Lyra RD1080.

    128 MB, and that control stick crapped out quickly.

    I still have mine. It has an FM receiver and runs off a AAA battery, so it's handy for listening to the radio for updates during a big power outage.
