    The Bean was, in fact, my first MP3 player (and my mom's too). For listening to some Bon Jovi and AC/DC on the school bus in middle school or walking around the neighborhood for exercise (her use), it was perfect. The software wasn't that bad, all things considered. The problem is that the rail pin (for lack of a better term) was held in with glue and that glue wore down. I was a kid and didn't have super glue, so I couldn't fix mine.
    Also that CHKDSK thing could be turned off via a command line string.

    • @Spectere

      I was under the impression they only degraded during use, but yeah, I think you're right.
      My dad had a Sony "MP3" player from the same era with a blue OLED screen (same garbage software, but his wasn't a bean…it looked more like a chonky thumb drive) and I remember the screen being very vivid and easy to see.

My bean was a total trooper, surviving half of his life without the main button. Since most kids in my school didn't have mp3 players, mine kinda became communal, going around my friends between classes.

It was used in far more products than minidisc, I had a discman with Atrac3plus support and you could put hours of music on one CD at crazy low bitrates and it sounded really good.

Always despised the white colour scheme, they ran into the exact same problem Apple did with their stock headphones in that they turned greasy and dirty within _days_ of using them.
