# Band Tribute Music Players ZVUE Journey MP3 Player By Ayman | Published 2008-07-26 | Pop Culture Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zvue-journey-mp3-player References: [engadget](http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/25/zvues-1gb-journey-dap-comes-with-22-tracks-youll-never-delete/) & [walmart](http://www.walmart.com/catalog/product.do?product_id=10097874) If you're a fan of Journey, you should definitely check this MP3 player out. In addition to coming pre-loaded with 22 Journey songs, the ZVUE's 1GB MP3 player sports a killer Journey inspired design. Eleven of the pre-loaded songs are new Journey songs, while the rest are re-recorded classics. For a $39.88 player, do not expect stellar specs. The player features [built-in speaker](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/snowsky-disc), voice recorder, rechargeable batteries and a USB cable charger. But with a player so cute, who cares about the specs? A true fan will get it and fill it with Journey songs only. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.5/10 - Popularity: 52% | Activity: 15% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Pop Culture](https://www.trendhunter.com/popculture) > [Media](https://www.trendhunter.com/media) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Band Tribute Music Players:** Opportunity for companies to create MP3 players and other music devices specifically designed to showcase and pay homage to popular bands. - **Pre-loaded Song Collections:** Opportunity to create music players that come pre-loaded with curated collections of songs from specific artists or genres. - **Nostalgic Design:** Opportunity to create music players with designs that evoke nostalgia for a specific band or music era. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Consumer Electronics:** Disruptive innovation opportunity for companies in the consumer electronics industry to create music players with unique features and designs. - **Music Streaming:** Opportunity for music streaming platforms to collaborate with music player manufacturers to offer curated collections of songs and albums on pre-loaded devices. - **Music Merchandise:** Opportunity for companies in the music merchandise industry to create and sell band-themed music players as collectible items for fans. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Pop Band Cassette Players](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/we001-duran-duran-special-edition.md) - [Multifunctional Compact Music Players](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/playdisc.md) - [Digitally Enabled CD Players](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/portable-cd-player.md) - [Musician-Honoring Cassette Players](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/we001-elvis-presley-limited-edition.md) - [Colorful Portable Music Players](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/music-players-1.md) - [Compact Cassette-Inspired Music Players](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/snowsky-retro.md) - [Cassette-Inspired Music Players](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/retro-audio-player.md) - [High-Resolution Audio Players](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/premium-music-players.md) - [Modernized Portable Music Devices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tl1-music-player.md)
