The VMU MP3 Player was a planned peripheral for the Sega Dreamcast first announced at Milia 2000[1] and then shown at Tokyo Game Show 2000 Spring[2]. The player would hook up to the controller port, much like the Visual Memory Unit, and would have a headphone jack on its left side. It was planned to have a 64MB disk capacity and was expected to retail for under $100 USD[3].

According to IGN DC, Sega had been working on a strategic relationship with online music store MP3.com[4].
