The MPMan music player, manufactured by the South Korean company SaeHan Information Systems, debuted in Asia in March 1998, and was the first mass-produced portable solid state digital audio player. The internal flash memory could be expanded, but there was no support for external memory. It was delivered with a docking station. To put music into the device, the music first had to be encoded in the mp3 format by an encoder provided by the user, and then transferred via the parallel port to the docking station that connected to the portable player device.[1] On {{nowrap|2 May 1998}} in Japan the Akihabara "Akibaoo~" stores in Chūō, Tokyo started selling {{nowrap|32 MB}} and {{nowrap|64 MB}} models, the prices of which were {{nowrap|39 800 yen}} (circa {{nowrap|400 USD}} - today ${{Inflation|US|400|1998|r=2}}) and {{nowrap|59 800 yen}}, respectively.[1] In North America, the South Korean device was first imported for sale by Michael Robertson's {{nowrap|Z Company}}[2] in mid-1998. Around the same time, Eiger Labs, Inc. imported and rebranded the player in two models, the Eiger MPMan F10, and Eiger MPMan F20.[3] The Eiger MPMan F10 was a very basic unit and wasn't user expandable, though owners could upgrade the memory from {{nowrap|32 MB}} to {{nowrap|64 MB}} by sending the player back to {{nowrap|Eiger Labs}} with a cheque for {{nowrap|69 + 7.95 USD shipping}}. Measuring at {{nowrap|90 mm}} tall by {{nowrap|70 mm}} wide by {{nowrap|16.5 mm}} thick and weighing a little over {{nowrap|65 gram}}, it was very compact. The US price in 1998 for the F10 model with {{nowrap|32 MB}} flash memory was circa {{nowrap|200 - 250 USD}}.{{citation needed|date=December 2015}} The {{nowrap|Eiger MPMan F20}} was a similar model that used {{nowrap|3.3 V}} SmartMedia cards for expansion, and ran on a single AA battery, instead of rechargeable NiMH batteries.

Audio recording function and AM / FM radio. Memory expansion by Smart Media Cards. Critical receptionThe MPMan was not well received by critics and consumers.{{citation needed|date=April 2013}} The Rio PMP300, which was released soon afterward, was received better.{{citation needed|date=April 2013}} The RIAA's Associate Director of Anti-Copyright infringement initially said the MPMan had "no function other than playing material that was stolen from record companies". Nevertheless, he later said it was "a unique device. It's something that we haven't seen on the market before".[2][4] Parc argued that the development of MP3 players and less sophisticated copyrights in Korea have induced the emergence of K-pop and brought about the international popularity of K-pop.[5] References1. ^1 impress.co.jp - The impact created a problem!? mp3 player portable "mpman" launched {{DEFAULTSORT:Mpman}}2. ^1 {{cite news |publisher=MTV.com |url=http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/150202/mpman-outruns-walkman.jhtml |accessdate=August 26, 2012 |title=MPMan Threatens Conventional Record Business |last=Kaufman |first=Gil |last2=Nelson |first2=Chris |date=Apr 5, 1998}} 3. ^{{cite web |url=http://reviews.cnet.com/4520-6450_7-5622055-1.html |title=Introducing the world's first MP3 player |last=Van Buskirk |first=Eliot |date=January 21, 2005 |accessdate=May 2, 2011}} 4. ^{{cite journal |magazine=Vibe |title=Digital Underground |date=Oct 1998 |page=126 |last=Allen |first=Harry |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=sCwEAAAAMBAJ&lpg=PA126&pg=PA126}} 5. ^[https://journals.ateneo.edu/ojs/index.php/kk/article/view/2976 Parc, J. 2019, “Between Technological Advancement and Protectionism: The Bumpy Evolution from MP3 Players to Smartphones in Korea”, Kritika Kultura 32: 6-13.] 3 : Audiovisual introductions in 1998|Digital audio players|South Korean inventions |
