That won't be long at all.

I got my first RIO Mp3 player in 1998.

I think they were on sale for $86, down from $120. It held about 64 meg of songs with one of those big smartmedia cards in it, and used 2 AAA bateries if I recall correctly.

Today I can get a clip on 2 gig memorex mp3 player for $9 at office depot. I have taken to mailing them to friends overseas with music recorded from our church performances.

Big drop in 12 years.
