This thread is where you can post about vintage technology you once owned.
My first mp3 player was a Dlink DMP-50. I got it in the early 2000s when everyone else still had CD players and even Minidisk players, so I felt like a total badass walking around with it, especially because of its awesome looks (who doesn't like a clear plastic case so you can see the circuit board?). I got it for $50 after rebate from Circuit City.
This bad boy had 32mb of RAM and an LCD screen that would tell you the name of the song and artist. You could even expand the capacity to 64 MB via a SmartMedia card slot. The device connected via parallel port but at the time nearly all motherboards only had one parallel port so I had to buy an external parallel port switch to switch between transferring files to the mp3 player and printing. The device was powered by two AAA batteries and I remember buying rechargeable Ni-CD AAA batteries for it.
