I remember the lp3 [1], a LPT printer port dongle &#x2F; sound card. It was a DSUB-25 parallel port passthrough with a headphone jack on the side. You piped an undecoded mp3 stream into it via a Winamp plugin and any machine running Win95 or higher could &quot;play mp3s&quot;.<p>[1]: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;web.archive.org&#x2F;web&#x2F;20000311130535&#x2F;http:&#x2F;&#x2F;lp3music.com&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;web.archive.org&#x2F;web&#x2F;20000311130535&#x2F;http:&#x2F;&#x2F;lp3music.c...</a>
