      I’m not sure about the timeline on portable mp3 player development and popularity, but this was 2002 or 2003 and I was the only one in my friend group who had one with a li-ion battery as opposed to AAA-batteries.

      “USB doesn’t deliver power, it’s for file transfer!” I was told. Some of my friends were also really stupid, though. That could have contributed to this wonder of technology.
