I was going to contribute to this thread more, but I have to go sync my sunglasses now.

A record exec is selling an mp3 player. Okay.

― Dan I. (Dan I.), Wednesday, 6 October 2004 23:06 (twenty-one years ago)

oh so, like, how do you choose what to play? I bet you can't. But if it was a heads-up display, man, that's worth like $300 right there.

― mikef (mfleming), Wednesday, 6 October 2004 23:10 (twenty-one years ago)

you wink your left eye to scroll up, and your right eye to select.
you visualize a persimmon to change menus.

Lance Armstrong has had glasses like these for months. I think we had a thread about it, too.

― MindInRewind (Barry Bruner), Wednesday, 6 October 2004 23:34 (twenty-one years ago)

The only person to look cool wearing these is Lil Jon.

― Forksclovetofu (Forksclovetofu), Thursday, 7 October 2004 00:10 (twenty-one years ago)

Not only are his shades an mp3 player, but his chrome teeth are karaoke microphones.

― Hurting (Hurting), Thursday, 7 October 2004 00:13 (twenty-one years ago)

Those sunglasses look really, really, stupid.

It seems to me, that the most cost effective to carry around music yould be an mp3 CD player.

But what do I know, I still use a 'Realistic AM/FM Stereo Cassette Player' from the 80's that plays everything half a tone out. Certainly adds an edge to Joy Division.

This is true, and because I have little money this is what I have.

seven years pass...

how the ipod sucked all the joy out of listening to music

― sarahel, Monday, 10 October 2011 20:30 (fourteen years ago)

"I am acutely aware that everything I have just said is horrifying and aggravating to a great many people."

Nope, mostly just think you are an idiot. I wonder if newspapers around the turn of the century had articles like "how the car is sucking all the fun out of trips to the general store"?

― Fig On A Plate Cart (Alex in SF), Monday, 10 October 2011 21:32 (fourteen years ago)

it was only horrifying and aggravating because she managed to include just about every cliche -- like, after the first couple paragraphs i was thinking, "is she gonna get nostalgic for mixtapes? is she? is she?"

― sarahel, Monday, 10 October 2011 21:36 (fourteen years ago)

Yeah, these articles, even though I mostly agree with a few of the arguments re the death of physical media, mostly just annoy the hell out of me at this point.

― jon /via/ chi 2.0, Monday, 10 October 2011 21:38 (fourteen years ago)

i am optimistic that there are interesting points one could make in an article like this, unfortunately, this article made no interesting points.

― sarahel, Monday, 10 October 2011 21:40 (fourteen years ago)

If there's one thing that itunes/mp3s are unequivocally good for it's taking the hassle out of making mixes.
