===Licensing, marketing and distribution=== Instead of manufacturing the player themselves, Compaq licensed the design to HanGo, which called it the ''"Personal Jukebox - PJB-100"''. The license from Compaq to HanGo was worldwide exclusive - nobody else could license the technology from Compaq during the term of the HanGo license. HanGo granted a distribution agreement to US company Hy-Tek Manufacturing of [[Sugar Grove, IL]] in 2001. HanGo rebranded the units sold through Hy-Tek as the ''"Compressor"''. HanGo took the PJB-100 into mass production and introduced it to the public at the Las Vegas COMDEX in November 1999. The first units were sold in a special auction held by [[MP3.com]], with bids exceeding [[US$]]1000. Some winners received their players before the end of 1999. The first auctioned units were hand-built by the Compaq engineers who designed it and had single-digit serial numbers.
