Journey, The MP3 Player Slash Band

By: Grahm Skee on July 24, 2008 2:44 PM

There may be a few hardcore Journey fans ready to pounce on this deal, but this likely will draw glazed over looks by most or Only The Young. Journey has Faithfully teamed up with ZVUE for 1GB themed MP3 player. The player features 11 of Journeys’ new songs as well as 11 re-recorded classics.

Now you can have Journey, Any Way You Want It from vinyl to digital hardware. So if you are a old school fan, welcome this new format with Open Arms, Be Good To Yourself and pick up one of these players today from Walmart.

Ok, I have to go lie down now, I’m a bit lightheaded from writing all those lame Journey references.

[thanks techzec]

Licenses are cheap, and someone needs money... oh brother. Where's my Doris Day player?

I think it's kinda' cool. It'll bring some soccer mom's (and dad's) into the tech age and they won't even realize it.

Looks much like the player that was on here a while back with an American flag finish, no?

Now if this had come out during Journeys day in the sun.. sold at concerts it would have been one hot item. Still, it makes me a bit nostalgic for all those concerts I went too, during the golden age of rock... sigh.. Oh Sherrie...the time sure went fast....

Pretty sweet lookin'.
If they come out with a Rick
Astley one, I'll definitely invest.

I think this is a good idea. Most Journey fans are above 40 years old, and people at that age don't really know about current technology, etc. So, now they can buy this media player and listen to Journey songs right out of the box. I'm going to buy one as a gift for my mom.

Geez, thanks sick.of.ipods. We, 40+, aren't all living in the 20th century. I would get one but.. I already have an Ipod with Journey tunes in it, put in by me!

Thanks Cindy... you beat me to replying to sick.of.ipods with a nasty comment of my own.. and then beating him/her over the head with my walker. ;)
Yes, those of us over 40 can't possibly know anything about technology... that's why all tech achievements through time, have been made by the under 16 yr old crowd. You might want to rethink your rather limited understanding of experience and age....

Heheh... Journey really made the jump into the 21st century - here's their Second Life island: http://www.journeymusic.com/multimedia/island_book.html

oh brother, is right

Original Jrny is cheesy enough, but Journeylite in it’s own karaoke machine is just going too far, lol

is there ANY musical integrity left out there ;-PPPP

My son is 7 and he LOVES Journey! We took him to see them with Def Leppard a couple of years ago. He knew most of the words. So, it isn't just for 40+ people. I'm in my mid 30s and I love journey...although I wish Steve Perry was still with them.

Phonak Audéo PFE

Phonak Audéo PFE offer outstanding clarity and precision; natural, dynamic mids and treble, and decent bass for a single armature in-ear phone. They handle dense, complex music very well. The PFE work well with most acoustic and some electronic music genres, but bassheads might have to look at other alternatives. They're great for sports as well, since they fit very securely.
