Leaping from tree to tree, as they float down the mighty rivers of British Columbia. * SmartMedia was cheaper than flash at the time, but hit a capacity wall at 128MB while flash just kept getting better. When I eventually got my own copy it took a while to get used to it not skipping. And my dad's News of the World had a scratch in We Will Rock You that meant Freddie sang about mud on your. Oh, except ABITW Part 2 and Young Lust, but they're no loss anyway.Īs for vinyl, we lived in a house where heavy treading on the first floor could mean scratches or skips on an old record player. When I got the SmartMedia I was able to fit The Wall on it. It was small and light (the AA battery seemed to be half the weight), it had great battery life with just 1 AA, and you didn't have to worry about skipping (remember CD players boasting of their seconds of electronic skip protection?). Also it had horribly slow copying via parallel port.īut I _loved_ that thing and it was obvious that mp3 players (remember that they were called mp3 players?) were the future. I think I encoded at 64kb/s to fit albums on it. It had 32MB but could be expanded with SmartMedia* to 64MB. My first mp3 player was a #100 MPMan F20.
