I could fit roughly 1 hour of music on mine, longer if I dropped the bitrate to 96kbps instead of 128.

The biggest benefit of the mp3 player was that the anti-skip protection didn’t drain the battery twice as fast, no moving parts so it never skipped. This seemed super cool to me because I skateboarded and stuff and generally liked the idea of no skips.

I strongly disagree. In those days, mp3 players that fit single CDs that were slightly larger than a modern day thumb drive. And you could get 128mb ones for slightly more money. But that was much smaller and more portable than something that had to fit an entire CD.
