      In the early 2000s. Depending on the generation that’s around 800-900 dollars in today’s dollars.

        That’s crazy when you put it like that. $900 to be locked into apple’s iTunes hellscape.

      But we got much better technology in that time, you can get a 512gb sd card for $30-40 nowadays compared to when the iPhone came out that a 1gb thumb drive would have $10-20

        Back then iTunes was good. It was my preferred player for years. It was around the iPhone and afterwards it went to shit.

        It also has built in sharing. I remember downloading gigs of music from people on different floors in tlmy dorm in college.
