===History===
*The first generation of Dell Digital Jukeboxes started out with two models: a 15 GB version for about $199 and the 20 GB version that cost $279 according to a 2004 [[Reader's Digest]] commercial.{{Citation needed|date=May 2012}}  These initial models featured voice recording; MP3, protected and unprotected WMA, WAV file playback; and use as an external hard drive (pending driver installation).
*The introduction of the second generation of Dell digital jukeboxes began with 5 GB Dell Pocket DJ (see below). Features unique to this second generation of players were its smaller physical size and firmware that achieved [[Microsoft PlaysForSure]] certification.  Since then, Dell has produced 15 GB, 20 GB and 30 GB versions of their players.
*In September 2005, Dell introduced the Dell DJ Ditty, a 512 MB flash memory based player.  Features unique to this model (apart from its storage medium) were smaller physical size and  integrated FM tuner.
*On October 11, 2005, it was revealed that, both Sirius and XM (with partner Samsung) will offer an MP3 satellite player that fall. Dell then announced that it would upgrade to a third-generation DJ and Pocket DJ with capability to play XM radio streams pre-recorded on an accompanying dock system. A color screen would replace the monochrome display.
*On February 6, 2006, it was announced that Dell discontinued their hard drive based players, and will not release any future models at this time.
*On August 18, 2006, Dell discontinued production of the Dell DJ Ditty.

===Dell Pocket DJ===
The Dell Pocket DJ is a pocket sized player released by [[Dell]] in 2004. It has 5 GB of memory, capable of holding 2,500 songs. It retailed for $199, which was the same price as the now discontinued 4 GB Apple [[iPod Mini]]. The Pocket DJ has a 10-hour battery life and charges through a [[USB]] plug either through the computer or electrical outlet.

The Pocket DJ is compatible with many music stores and formats, such as WMA ([[Windows Media Audio]]), and MP3. It also sports a blue 160 by 104 pixel screen, although easy for most people to read in the daylight, it can be difficult to read at night, because the blue reduces the clarity of the screen. The buttons also light up on the front, providing easy navigation. The buttons include, Back, Home, Previous/Rewind, Play/Pause, and Next/FastForward.

The interface looks similar to the [[Creative Zen Micro]], except the Pocket DJ does not have voice recording or FM tuner.

Similar to the [[iPod]]'s click wheel, the Pocket DJ has a small scroll barrel that can be used to scroll through playlists, etc. When you scroll to a song, you push down on the barrel and a menu comes up asking you if you want to play the song, add it to a playlist, delete it, etc. You can bypass the pop-up menu by pushing the Play/Pause button.

===Dell DJ 20 and Dell DJ 30===
The Pocket DJ has three siblings: the DJ 20, which holds 20 GB of music; DJ 30, which holds 30 GB of music; and the DJ Ditty, a flash-based player which holds 512 MB of music.

===Dell Ditty===
The Dell Ditty was a small player that had 512 MB of flash memory and a built in FM tuner. It had a small screen showing the currently playing track. MP3 files could be dragged and dropped into the player through Windows Explorer. The player did not offer file choosing, just playback in order or random "shuffle" and repeat. Different color caps were available for purchase from Dell. The Ditty was discontinued in August 2006.
