• WikiPedia: "The Personal Jukebox (also known as PJB-100 and, to some extent Music Compressor) was the first ever hard disk MP3-Player to hit the market in late 1999, which makes it the great-grandfather of today's players like the Apple iPod. Production has since been discontinued, commercial distribution has also almost ceased. The original design was developed by Compaq Research (SRC and PAAD groups) starting in May 1998. Compaq did not release the player themselves, but licensed the design to HanGo Electronics Co., LTD. of South Korea."
