discuss Do you still own a MP3 player?

[Ashura]

Mp3 players used to be all the craze when I was in middle and high school. I remember seeing people with iPods and Zunes, even cheaper MP3 players too. I used to have a USB one that could only hold a couple of songs, I got this in 2000. I currently have a new one that also has a built in radio too. I use it at work since we're allowed to listen to music while working. It helps me get through the day, I actually own two but the other one I was using was very glitchy and only played music in mono. Do you still own a MP3 player and do you use it?

I don't use it anymore. The last MP3 I had got spoiled and I discarded it. Very few people actually make use of it these days. Except, like you said, the old ones still manage it to listen to radio.

I still own an MP3 player, probably more than one actually, but I haven't used one for about 4 years, and even then it was during covid lockdown when I was at work and not allowed to carry a mobile for security reasons so used an MP3 to listen to music. I'm not sure that many people here use them anymore.

I don’t own a MP3 player anymore. I haven’t owned one in years.

I still have my very first iPod (5th Generation with video playback) that I got as a graduation present from my dad.

It still works, but there are a few lines on the screen, nothing to interrupt video too much. But, for obvious reasons, I don't carry it with me and haven't touched it in a long time.

That's a blast from the past. I still have an old MP3 player which I hardly use anymore. However with smartphones checking music via streaming or listening to podcasts has never been easier. Nonetheless, I think that it is better to have an independent device for MP3 player.

No, streaming services have replaced the need for MP3 players.

The same goes for me; I use platforms such as Spotify and Apple Music to listen to my favourite music. There is nothing quite like being able to have a library of many songs without having to store any of it physically.

If I look for mine in some of the parked boxes in my store, I will most likely find it but I doubt if it's still going to be in a good playing condition. The feelings of using MP3 player back then was so exciting.

definitely not, in fact I might buy one just to have it as a collection for old times' sake, but clearly I no longer use an MP3 player.

I still have an Mp3 player. And it is one very valuable equipment for me. I do music professionally. And my MP3 player is what I use to listen to songs and score them to play it well.

If you're a collector, doing that isn't a bad idea. It will keep so much memories of what added so much value in your life some years ago. You should be able to get it from ebay.
