This goofy digital music player from Bandai isn’t really an MP3 player in the traditional sense.

Tamogatchi Music Fever Media Player

Released for the 10-year anniversary of the popular electronic pet franchise, the $115 Tamagotchi Music Fever player doesn’t connect to your computer. Instead the quirky music player can only directly import music (up to 120 minutes) from a CD player or other audio source.

It features nineteen different character types and a couple of little mini-games built in. Two other modes let the little animated critters dance around or play musical instruments along with your latest Nine Inch Nails tracks.

[...] The Tamagotchi Music Fever is a digital audio player with a difference. It doesn’t need to be hooked onto the comp to transfer music; it imports the music from a CD player or other audio device. It stores up to 120 minutes at standard quality and 60 minutes at high quality, with 7 hours of playtime on two AAA batteries. Commemorating the tenth anniversary of the popular electronic pet franchise , the DAP also features 19 character types and two modes of playback. The “Game Mode” includes a “Trampoline” game and a “Surfing” game. “Otanoshimi Mode” (fun/excited mode) has “Session” mode where the characters play instruments, and “Dance” mode where the characters dance with the music. The Tamagotchi Music Fever comes with a Japanese manual and costs $115. Source [...]
