[Warxard]

PSP is a brilliant console in that it's multimedia features for music, photos and movies were on par with the PS3. That in mind, the PSP is where I found myself in college to stack a lot of music into because of how convinent it was. I could play FF Tactics or listen to my tunes during lectures!

I wonder if it was the same for you all?

 

[super-famicom]

Nope, I started with a 20GB iPod. Man that click wheel was awesome!

 

[Get_craycray]

How old are you?

 

[LiK]

no, it was called an iPod.

 

[Samurai_Heart]

Was also my first portable media player device till Sony got rid of avi support lol

 

[Elitist1945]

Actually, I believe it was.

 

[Dicer]

Nope, and it wasn't a damn iPod either...

Creative ftw!

 

[Tambini]

I think it was my first portable video player

 

[KTallguy]

It wasn't, but it was a great MP3 player! I used it a lot.

Unfortunately, the market for stand alone tiny MP3 players has been cornered by Apple...

 

[ivanthebearable]

Nah, I had this cheap usb battery powered thing but it was more my brother's than mine.

But after that was the DSi so, I guess that counts?

 

[djplaeskool]

I had one of those CD players that could load a data CD of MP3s into memory and play them.

 

[sixteen-bit]

It was my first ATRAC player.

Memory card space was at a premium, you wouldn't catch me with those heavy .mp3 files, lol.

 

[Sophia]

I had a 4th generation iPod. The memory sticks for the PSP weren't really big enough to hold all of my music ripped from CDs anyhow. :\

 

[Zabuza]

I used it as an MP3 like crazy. Loved it.

 

[shanafan]

My first MP3 player was by a company with four letters (not Sony, lol) and was 256MB I think

 

[Fattony12000]

The 32 MB (upgradable to 372 MB) Rio 600 from the year 2000 was mine. This was a year and a half before the mighty iPod.

 

[Pancakes R Us]

Nope, I started with a 20GB iPod. Man that click wheel was awesome!

Me too, though it was a 40GB iPod.

 

[darkside31337]

No but it was my first portable video player. Loading up anime on that thing was fucking amazing.

 

[Sullichin]

I think it was this

By the time PSP came out, it was a horrible solution for an MP3 player compared to an iPod which is easier to use and could hold much more.

 

[Ally of Justice]

No, I bought a cheap 256 MB MP3 player at the time the PSP was in because I couldn't afford one.

If anything, my first console MP3 player was a DS Lite with a Flashcard, years after that.

 

[Get_craycray]

I had something like that

 

[KillerMan91]

Didn't use it as MP3 player that often as it was quite big for that purpose. Used it a lot to watch movies/videos though. Damn it felt next gen to watch Spiderman 2 on the go back in 2005.

 

[Firestorm ZERO]

My friend back in college used it as a MP3 and movie player. He bought no games for it.

 

[GamingOblivion]

Nope, but it was my first portable video player. Watching episodes of my favorite TV shows during bus rides to middle school was dope.

 

[Laputa_94]

I actually think it was honestly.

 

[Hollycat]

yep. It was awesome.

 

[VNZ]

No, but the first with a "podcast app".

But it's certainly the portable device I've owned with the best audio quality. Absolutely sublime compared to all Walkmans, iPods and iPhones I've owned.

 

[Mitch]

I think my first MP3 player was the iPod Mini.

 

[rtcn63]

I tried using it as an audio player, but the shoulder buttons would constantly get hit in my pocket and change tracks. I could turn Hold on, but then I wouldn't be able to use any of the functions without taking the device out.

 

[Neoxon]

Yup, & I loved it.

 

[massoluk]

Uh... My bloody flip phone was my first MP3 Player. Before I moved on to iPod Shuffle.

 

[TouchMyBox]

Why would anybody own an MP3 player? Real players play with NetMD players.

 

[Lemonte]

with 265mb of memory.

 

[Orbis]

I had something like that

https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/b/bf/S1_mp3_player_example-edit.png

As did I, mine was 128MB and I recall it having support for sychronised lyrics. I used to compress the shit out of my music to low bitrate WMA to get as much on there as possible.

 

[khaaan]

I think mine was some Samsung but I remember really wanting an iRiver for some reason. I wasn't much of a music listener though and the only time I wanted to was when I was at my PC so I ditched my MP3 player. I still don't listen to much music on the go but if I do I have my phone with me. When I did get a PSP I considered using it as a music player but my memory stick was filled with games essentially as soon as I got it.

I could play FF Tactics or listen to my tunes during lectures!

OP wat.

 

[Warxard]

OP wat.

I was dumb.

 

[BadWolf]

Yeah it was, also watched a lot of vids on it during commutes. The PSP was so awesome.

 

[Newtype-001]

Nah but I did use the psp mp3 a lot.

My first mp3 player was this hybrid USB and mp3 player, not sure how much mb, probably less than 500.

 

[coolasj19]

Yes it was. I still have it loaded with the same songs. It's a little embarrassing time capsule. Muse and SNSD and Miles Davis. Was that kind of kid.

 

[bigkrev]

Yup, and I had a giant case on it so it was ridiculous to carry around.
I bought an iPod Mini later that year

 

[NIN90]

Naw but it was my first portable porn device.

 

[NekoFever]

My first MP3 player had 8MB internal memory and took Compact Flash cards. Probably 1998 or 1999.

 

[jadjei]

Nope, but I know there were some girls in my high school that had a a PSP as their first MP3.

My DSi was my first MP3.

 

[bjork]

The first thing I could play mp3s on was a pc. Which I burned to cds that I could play on a discman. So technically, the discman.

 

[jond76]

No way! Creative Muvo Nomad son!

 

[Dude Guy]

The 32 MB (optionally upgradable to 372 MB) Rio 600 from the year 2000 was mine. This was a year and a half before the mighty iPod.

Holy Fucking shit I had one of these

 

[sixteen-bit]

Come to think of it, I got into podcasts through PSP's RSS capabilities as well.

 

[NeoGIF]

Not gonna lie, it kinda was, lol.

 

[canedaddy]

Yep. I even had some peripheral to make it work in my car.

 

[NeatoKuni]

It was my second MP3 player. My first was those battery powered bullet MP3 things. It only had like 3 songs lmao
