I feel a sudden wave of nostalgia thinking about my first *proper* mp3 player, the Creative Zen Micro with 4GB 1.8'' HDD. I had a stupid USB-Stick with 128MB before and it was crap. My Creative Zen Micro couldn't be turned on and it was a sad day 20 years ago. I have too much music to consider using anything like that again without having to transcode everything to 128kb/s for a decent music selection. Apparently none survived as I can't find any working on ebay as all I can find are marked as junk or for parts. After that I had an iPod Touch 2G with 16GB that got a broken headphone jack and trying to repair it the display broke. Wouldn't want to use that again because of iTunes.
