Old MP3 player: Creative MuVo N200 (1/2 Gig)

I found my first MP3 player in a box when I moved recently. It is a Creative MuVo N200 player, purchased in 2005. I was was heading out on a long work trip to Europe, and one of my activities was to be the external examiner for a PhD student in Aalborg, Denmark. They were paying my way and an honorarium, most of which I pre-spent on this player. Some kind of primitive iPod was out at the time, with more memory. I liked this one better, since it was smaller and used replaceable batteries rather than USB charging. You can still get them on eBay, although they were discontinued long ago by the manufacturer. It is a nice little device and it may still get some use: the battery operation would be useful if I were ever to go into the "wilderness" and it has a nice strap for using in the gym. It also has an FM tuner and an LCD display. A great piece of equipment for the time, even if it is dated now.
