8 minutes anti-skip. You could take the cd out if you were careful and it would keep playing. I used it so much it failed, then I got a cheaper model a few years later and it failed after about a week. iPod came out soon and I got $400 one for free by doing one of those things where you get your friends to sign up for trials.
Fucking dropped it at a temp job and it destroyed the mini HD inside, so I exchanged it, returned it for store cash at Circut City and god a sweet Klipsch audio system for my PC instead.
I scraped together some allowance and odd job money and bought a sketchy brandless CD burner in a plastic sack from a computer store in that limewire/kazaa/soulseek/just after napster time period. All my friends would get me to burn CDs for them.
Right around that time these things very first started to appear, and if you had a burner and some cheap blank disks they were MUCH cheaper(and higher capacity!) than the crappy flash MP3 players or the super expensive nomad/ipod stuff.
I do remember swapping MP3s and ROMs and stuff on floppies after school though. Good times.
You're all lost! Compact disc's NOT in analog audio but mp3s on a true file system was the way of 2004!
It could even show track name and artist on that screen! Capacity was only however many 700mb disc's one could afford!
I picked up this bad boy for, I think, $149 in 2001. Now I could buy a used one for only $68! What a world we live in.
