| Also known as a DAP (Digital
Audio Player), a MP3 player is an electronics
device capable of playing MP3 files either stored on the
device or on another medium such as a compact disc
containing MP3 files. The first commercially available MP3
player was the Seahan's MPMan sold in Asia in early spring
of 1998 and then
later sold as the Eiger Labs MPMan F10 in the United States.
Although several different types of MP3 players were
released in the late 1990's the popularity of the MP3
players really gained steam after the introduction of the
portable Apple iPod, which was introduced in 2001. |
