One of the very first MP3 Players (Pre-iPod)


Recommended Posts

I was at a tag sale today and came upon this device. At first I didn't notice it, but after a 2nd sweep of the tag sale I noticed it and knew right away what it was. It is one the very first MP3 players before the Ipod came out. It is a 1998 Diamond Rio PMP300 MP3 player. I put a battery and it worked and even had some music on it.  I think the Ipod classic's design may have been inspired by this slightly. I read the Diamond Rio PMP300 was in big RIAA  lawsuit back then.
