Audio Highway Listen Up
The world's first MP3 player was announced in 1996 by Audio Highway CEO Nathan Schulhof. The Listen Up didn't ship until 1997 — if it shipped at all. An eBay listing from October 2009 indicates that only 25 units were produced. The seller was asking for $75,000 but failed to find any bidders. Very little is known about the first-ever MP3 player.
