Produced in partnership with Kmart\ufeff<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n If you’d told me when I got my first iPod Touch that I’d one day write about its comeback, I wouldn’t have believed it.<\/span><\/p>\n How could anything ever top that piece of tech?<\/span><\/p>\n And yet, if social media is anything to go by (and it always is), here we are.<\/span><\/p>\n If you’re reading this, I’ll spare you the explanation of what an iPod is so as not to make you feel ancient.<\/span><\/p>\n Though just when you thought those days were gone for good, enter <\/span>Kmart’s newest gadget.<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n It costs just $29 and is built on the same idea \u2013 you load your music, press play, and that’s about it.<\/span><\/p>\n The hype started when WA mum Jess Brouwer gave her 76,000 followers a sneak peek.<\/span><\/p>\n “I received a package from Kmart with their new MP3 Player,” she told followers.<\/span><\/p>\n “It plays music, has FM radio, voice recording, video playback, eBook mode and even an alarm clock. It’s pretty cool!”<\/span><\/p>\n The video has racked up more than 180,000 views, and the comments section reads like a generational split screen.<\/span><\/p>\n The comments were flooded with the likes of:\u00a0“So, an iPod? What’s old is new again.”<\/span><\/p>\n “This brings me back,” another said.<\/span><\/p>\n Then came the younger crowd with the truly telling questions: How do you get music on it? Does it come with songs? Do you have to buy them?<\/span><\/p>\n Jess went on to explain it simply: “I added music that I had purchased from Apple Music and just put them on there from my computer.”<\/span><\/p>\n For a generation raised on the infinite buffet of streaming, the whole process sounds borderline absurd.<\/span><\/p>\n Which is exactly why the recent buzz feels bigger than your usual cheap gadget doing well online.<\/span><\/p>\n “Oh my gosh, how much fun is this?” one fan gushed.<\/span><\/p>\n “This would be great for the kids’ music! I’m buying one for my daughter,” exclaimed another.<\/span><\/p>\n Other brands have caught on with the trend as well.<\/span><\/p>\n This Mp3 Player from <\/span>Kogan<\/span><\/a> retails for $84 and boasts a touch screen. A better option for those perhaps not ready to commit to the wheel again.<\/span><\/p>\n Meanwhile, over at <\/span>Amazon<\/span><\/a>, the RUIZU Portable Music Player\ufeff is available in rose gold, blue and gold.<\/span><\/p>\n
