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.

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.

 

[Heatman]

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.

 

[gwolf666]

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.

 

[King Belieal]

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.

I still have an Mp3 player. That one connects to my phone through Bluetooth. I use it to play music and to watch videos from my phone. It is one of my most valuable tools.

 

[Ja sa bong]

No, I don't have my old MP3 player anymore. Using streaming services like Spotify and YouTube Music have very well replaced MP3 players. I can't go back to using them.

 

[Dead2009]

I still have an iPod but its broken cause the screen is cracked to high hell lol

 

[Shortie]

I know that I have an MP3 player still lying around in storage somewhere, but I have not used it in years. I do wonder, though, if I were to dig it out of storage, what I would find on it in terms of music.

My daughter still has an iPod, but she does not use it, just keeps it in storage.

If it's possible to fix the screen, would you be willing to pay for it to be done?

They are a thing of memories now. It's going to be hard for MP3 music players to topple how good streaming services are now.

i hope tat i have one, but unfortunately, my old one has been broken

 

[Reelz]

I still own one old iPod but I've not been using it for quite a long time due to the rise of smartphones. MP3 players have become so obsolete because of the emergence of smartphones as they can handle all the functions of the MP3 players.

Repairing MP3 music players looks like a waste of time, it's why I believe most people are not interested in fixing their own once it breaks.

You're right. Smartphones can handle all the functions of the MP3 player and also do more on top of it.

With stuff like Spotify now, there's no real need to get it fixed. I normally don't download music anymore.

 

[kni]

I use VLC player for songs

 

[kobirkhan]

Ah, the days of MP3 players! I recall the cultural impact of the iPod and the various competitors. It's interesting to hear you still find your dedicated player useful at work. It's a testament to their focused functionality.

 

[MamaFrankie]

Yes.

Why have people stopped mp3 players? I didn't know they went out of popularity.
