The Verge on Instagram: "In 2018, a 5GB music player with no internet connectivity may seem laughable, but back in 2001, it was nirvana. The first #iPod by #Apple now serves as a time capsule, capturing songs you once jammed to. The iTunes store didn’t even launch until April 28th, 2003. That meant that in 2002 the only way of getting any music onto an iPod was by uploading CDs into iTunes. After that, it was all up to you to meticulously organize your favorite songs into playlists. Despite all of this, it seemed so revolutionary. Would firing up your old mp3 player bring back any memories? 📷:@happicamp"
