I miss mine so much. I went to a Creative Mozaic or something after. I still use that a lot, but its only 8gb. If I could I would buy a Zen again and it just never ever went wrong on me. Only got rid of it because I dropped it!
 
Pfft , Gigabytes? I had this with a 16Mb MMC and later a 64Mb MMC to go in the second slot.

This was the future.

What era was that? I was using Discman / CD-based MP3 player up until 2007, then I converted to Creative as well. A 4GB model called Creative Zen, then I later got the 16GB Creative Mosiac, but looked almost the same as the Zen. When that finally died last year, I just used my Galaxy S4 as an MP3 player with the 64GB expansion slot.

It was 2004 and broke it in 2007, if i didn't drop it i probably would have had it for at least 2-3 years more as it was 20Gb and was nowhere near full, it was direct competition to the iPod at the time but with better sound quality

I went for the Creative X-Fi2 touch, probably the worse Mp3 i ever owned, probably has it 1 year before i sold it on.

Now i have a Cowon J9 and it's wonderful
 
Got a Casio M-30, still wear it on occasion, was a birthday pressie at primary school, plays, wait for it, 30 tunes!, well, annoying electronic ditties!!!!

Pfffft, and all those HD, retina thingies, who needs that when I can whip out my trusty Psion Organiser II :D, with its twin line LCD display and arcane programming language what more could you want.

oh they were briliant! I had 2 of those and they were much better than ipods at the time. It was also my first mp3 player as I used minidisc before that. I actually got scammed on amazon buying one of these; I still have the emails from the guy (he got caught by the way!)

It eventually met an unfortunate end and was replaced with a Zen vision:M (which was also superb, and had a few mucky videos on it ha ha) which was then replaced with an ipod touch.
I was paying monthly for a waranty from dixons at the time and it was great - no questions asked replacements every time you 'accidently' dropped it out of an upstairs window!

Still have my first MP3 player, cost like ~£160ish back in the day and could fit 5-6 songs, using 1 x AA battery :p

Thread should be renamed to "Nostalgia Gadget Thread"!

My first MP3 player was a Creative MuVo2. It was pretty mediocre to be honest!

I then got an Ipod 5th Generation (iPod Video?) 30GB and it was amazing- controls worked really well (none of this touch screen BS), great screen quality, fluid navigation, video support, good sound quality. I would still be quite happily using it if the headphone socket hadn't gone and then I used it as a HDD for a while which fried the battery. It's this one, with the flat glossy front (no curves).

My year old iPod Touch is naff compared to it.
 
Jukebox was my first too. I remember getting a 1st gen iPod from USA before they became common here. Was literally stopped by everyone at the gym in amazement at it

Who remembers digital compact cassettes? It's no surprise they never caught on.

I think those tape (DAT) drives were geared towards corporate use, for server/database backups. My old work had 10 tapes, 1 a day, for Monday to Friday of week 1, and again 1 a day for week 2, and they would alternate. Whichever tape set wasn't in use that week (1-5 or 6-10) would go to one of our houses as off-site backup.
 
I still have one of those watches. Its from when I was about 15, but it still works perfectly. I changed the battery and tested it a year or so ago. Still use it now and again for a change :)
