Soviet iPod. Still have mine.

I think I love you and want to have your babies.  Failing that, do you still have the box and manuals for the iRiver?  I will pay postage.  <<<<joke...aaaaggh

btw I still have those earbuds!

and another thing.....while the headphone out on those old iRivers is a bit hissy and unsatisfying the (physically and measurably different) line out is effin' good and fully worthy of an honorary eyepatch award, a yo ho ho and a bottle of rum (I'm not buying).  I upgraded my H140 battery to a high capacity Cameron Sino (2200 mAh) and replaced the clunky Toshiba 40GB slooooow HDD with a Kingspec 128GB SSD and installed Rockbox firmware to the player's ROM (so no dual boot or running the OS from disk) and it is still, 10 years after purchase, a truly useable and enjoyable player.

edit: I just checked where my earphone lead goes to and it is ......my 128GB iRiver H140 playing Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan - Musst Musst..... I suspect old Nussie would not approve of the truly gargantuan volumes of beer, port and wine I have drunk before and during enjoying his fabulous voice and crazy muslim songs but it's my player, my files, my ears and my grossly abused liver so fuck'im.  Hallyfrigginloolya.

I bought the Sony MZ1 Minidisc player/recorder when it came out and when I listened to my first two pre-recorded MDs (Pearl Jam -Ten and Singles Soundtrack), I thought yuck wtf is this crap. It sounded like badly encoded low bitrate mp3s. So in the end, I returned it within 30 days and got this instead...

I have the iRiver H340 and the H10 (20gb). Add a Sony Discman and yes I just about skipped on the tape Walkman in the 1990ties.

I also still dig my old CD-players. I like the old Philips and Sony models with the better DAC-chips, transports and completely functional design in a black box form factor. Even in my Hype-Fi days I still insisted on my CD-players as part of the experience.
