Victorian MP3 Players

The Pocket Music Library is a Fully Functional Steampunk Music Player

If you are a fan of steampunk but wish that it was a little more functional, you need to check out the Pocket Music Library. The Pocket Music Library is a steampunk MP3 player that actually plays music and videos.

The Pocket Music Library was built by Will Rockwell, who spent two years working on the device. The time was well spent, as the case looks amazing and its buttons are fully functional. The MP3 player can do everything you'd expect it to, including photo and document storage. The MP3 player itself is an Archos Vision that comes preloaded with Rockwell's own playlists. If you would like to add your own music, the case is designed to easily snap off to allow you to connect the player to your computer. If you would like to get your hands on the Pocket Music Library, prepare to spend a pretty penny: $350 gets you the player, case, a pair of headphones, a USB cable and a vintage carrying case.
