I guess today's theme is how quickly you can break music players. 10/10

You punched it and it caught the sads.

I just wanna point out that I love it when you say bat tree.

Oooooh, I had one of those, I'll need to look into the old cardboard boxes, the nostalgia is slowly kicking in

I had one of these! Only difference was that it was maroon instead of black and - the best part - had Formula 1 branding for some reason. I can't find the actual player anywhere, but I do still have the box. https://imgur.com/a/kifDzQg

I don't think 1 Grit deserved to destroy this thing

I had one of these and that switch button thing was the worst cause you'd try press menu and just end up skipping 3 songs down

the 1 grit didn't want to smash that thing

Omg, I had an MP3 nugget from Creative as well! It was my first ever, before that, I carried around a portable CD player, plus an extra CD case which could hold up to 10 CDs... looking back, it feels like I carried around a bag of beer coasters. Mine had 1 gigs and I was secretly looking down on those poor suckers who only had 256 or 512 mb... not to mention 128 mb 😂 crazy how all of this has changed. Thx for taking us back!

My sister had a portable CD player from 2006-2008, when my parents gave her an iPod nano for Christmas. I did get an iPad first generation in 2010 as my music player, but I also had an iPod shuffle 1 GB (bought that just for fun). Now, I use my Galaxy S9+ to listen to all sorts of music, including MP3, AAC, FLACs (both CD quality and Hi-Res), MQA FLACs, and DSD files I have obtained either on the internet or using a first generation PS3 (which I won a refurbished one on eBay for 80 USD) to rip SACDs with. As for the portable CD player, I had to sacrifice it a few months ago to fix a PlayStation 1 console, and my sister has given the iPod nano to me for fun. Funny thing is that my sister ripped one Demi Lovato CD in December 2008 instead of buying it from iTunes, because up until March 2009, songs from the iTunes store had DRM. I only started buying music from iTunes later that year.

Oh god, that takes me back - mine was so similar - except mine said MP3 sideways across the length below the screen. That horrible rubber, I can feel it now I'm glad to see it runs on *deep breath* AA'S

My first MP3 player was this little black round nugget that I got from my brother. Then my sister decided it was hers and that was the end of that.

Altough it was defeated, it did damage the 1grit

My first MP3 player was a Sandisk Sansa Clip+ and I love it so much. It is quite beat-up these days, the clip is broken, the housing is scratched to hell, the OLED screen has the sads which are curable by flicking it (no joke) and it has been glued together so awfully I cannot bring myself to use it anymore. Still plays music really well! I used to listen to music on my Samsung windows phone before that and oh boy that thing had a non-standard garbage connector that was a headphone jack, a data cable and a charging port combined. It broke all the time and the included headphones SUCKED. Adapters for that thing SUCKED. HARD. It was a bad time. So nice that we went away from using one proprietary port for everything at the same time, right?

Legit it was just nice to have a music player that only used a single AAA

My first MP3 player was a 2GB Creative MuVo V100 similar to that one you mentioned (in that form factor) but in white. Tried to have a look around for it but couldn't find it, though I did find my second MP3 player, which was a 4GB Chinese MP3/MP4 player with the name "video2go" (model number MP4-Q12-4G), that sadly doesn't seem to work anymore. Still has some edgy bangers from the 2000s. pics https://mega.nz/folder/ZhsE0AgA#cUipHAQcjTegDVA0qhq46w

My first MP3 player had a whopping 32mb built in, which I was able to expand with a 64mb Smartmedia card. It didn’t have a shuffle mode, so every evening I had to plug it into my computer and manually re-arrange the songs into a random order

dankpods

Sadly the iPod dominated so hard that the competition barely got a foot in, not many out there!

The pre-ipod days were like the wild west!

that looked the exact same as my first every player and now i'm using a nano 3rd gen mainly connected to my KEFs

I had a blue one exactly like that. It got a crack in the screen fairly quickly but lasted ages. I still remember upgrading to an mp4 player and watching the hell out of the Hardcore championship match from WWE WWE Wrestlemania 17.

hmm wonder if i can find my first mp3 player, it was a creative one which wasn't even a single unit, it was basically a usb stick plugged *into* the player

Yes. I found it immediately. Also I was remembering it wrong. And it costs £30. Going well lol

So have you ever talked about the Zune? I haven’t seen any videos on them so I was curious to see your take on them, since you have one on your desk I believe lol

I got Zune stuff planned! Just figuring out how I wanna go about it...

Oh that looks a lot like my first player! I had a 256mb all-silver Packard Bell Funkey (great name by the way). Thing is built like a tank, I still have it! My grandpa had the deluxe 1gb model with metallic blue accents and the worst solution for a "built-in" FM radio ever. Instead of building the radio into the player they supplied special earphones that had the smallest separate FM unit integrated in the earphones themselves. A tiny box with only one button to scan and a wheel for power/volume. even took its own separate button cell battery! Those earphones were great cause you could use them without the MP3 player, so people would think you weren't listening to anything (since the plug wasn't connected to anything) while you were actually listening to the radio!

End of ze world holy shit that brought me back

My first MP3 player was a Creative Muvo Slim. I believe it was either 128 or 256MB. I remember transferring songs SLOWLY using the USB 1.1 connection on my old eMachines Celery. But it was SOOO cool to have a thin MP3 player instead of lugging around my discman with a remote attachment.

dankpods

Dragging and dropping music was amazing to me, I listened to those 16 songs on repeat all day haha

I remember having something like that. It was a gpx and it took only regular sd cards. I had 3 songs, adam sandler's retard rap, avril lavigne's what the hell, and coldplay clocks. Ahh here it is! GPX MW3816

My mom had one of those! It worked pretty great, but it broke within the first week.

I had this one and got upset my mum did not get me the Lego one but you can still buy these on wish with 32 GB

I thought for SURE I had one with like 8MB storage, but I actually dug out our old KANGURU nugget and (re)discovered it had 64 whole MBs. I distinctly remember swapping out songs on the regular and realizing I can fit like a million midis on it, since I was deep in my midi phase at the time. I loved this thing as a kid. Came out in like, 99? No AA or even AAA, it was actually rechargeable! No display, and everything was controlled by the wheel at the top. Super easy. This thing was in our family rotation for years before we got a Shuffle. Also, the earbuds were built into the lanyard? Like, woven-in. https://imgur.com/a/zwMoIWk

Now that is super interesting! I actually found a weird HP usb stick rechargable MP3 player missing it's cap and it's this exact same design! Seems HP doesn't make a lot of their own stuff! I'd love any info you got on it as I'm defs going to do a video on the HP one I got!

Lol I had basically the same one! Missing both the battery cover and end cap lmao, and when I got it one song was on it.... Barbie girl....

My one of these (in a hideous pearlescent gold & with included ‘lanyard’ earphones) had a software bug which meant that once you unplugged it from the USB port, it couldn’t be switched off. If you tried, it just restarted. Over and over and over. You had to take the battery out to correct it. Hateful thing, but at least it kept me going until I scraped together enough for a gum stick iPod Shuffle.

One of my good friends had a similar MP3 player and was SUPER proud of it (well after the rest of us had 1st and 2nd gen Nano’s). I felt kinda bad for me the guy cause we were all like, “that ain’t shit! It’s all about this 1GB iPod!”

Had one similar after my original 4th gen died. Was crap. Glad I fixed my 4th gen!

My sis had one exactly like that one but with a different brand 😂

I had one of these as my first mp3, same shell and all except red and silver. Only thing I remember from it was that it came pre-installed with some "3-Dimensional Sound" demo of a lady talking and dropping keys and walking. I've looked everywhere trying to find the audio but I don't think it exists anymore.

duuuude, you just unlocked a memory i didn't even know i still had. my cousin had that creative slidy boi mp3 player. he bought it as an upgrade from his 6 cd changer in his honda prelude, the kind you had to pop the trunk, erm, boot, to swap discs. WHEN DID I GET SO OLD

I had something like this as well when I was younger. For some INEXPLICABLE REASON it had a feature where you could change the systems backlight colour. Now if you went into that menu and held the nub to the side then pressed play it would lock into a mode where the backlight just cycled between colours everytime you moved through the interface. If you powered it on though... The backlight just went NUTS

I remember my first MP3 player looked pretty much exactly like this. The faceplate was a bit different but definitely the same design. I forgot it in my jeans one time and it ended up going through the wash. Amazingly it still bloody worked after. After that one I upgraded to the first gen nano, which was mind blowing!

Holy Crap! I had one of those. I saved up the money from my paper route to buy one of those Dingus's. The nostalgia and memories right now are real.

I remember trying to help my grandfather navigate one of those things! Absolute nightmare. Also, idk if it was the music or the surprisingly graceful circuit board, but that 1-grit session was spiritual.

HEY! This is pretty much the exact first MP3 player I had. My dad saved up vouchers from some newspapers and we got it for free! It was a james bond promo so it said quantum of solace on it! i put on some WWE intro songs and happy birthday lisa from the simpsons (yes, the michael jackson one)

I remember I had one exactly like that, cap and all! It was my moms and she gave it to me along with all the Cyndi Lauper songs. Only thing is mine was a fugly purple/gray one.

That's almost exactly like my first MP3 player, I even remembered that the stupid directional peg thing is the select button

Oh wow, My first Mp3 player I bought was in the year 2000 a Sony Network Walkman NW-E3 with a staggering 64 MB of Memory. And you had to use a crappy software to convert Mp3 into Atrac3. Damn, have to buy one and maybe send it over to you :D

Anonymous

I had almost exactly this one. Mine was blue, otherwise it was exactly this model - even the packaging is the same.

This is VERY similar to my first player. Mine looked almost identical. Satin black that would get greasy, had the same toggle lever switch. I got mine probably in the late 2000s though, and I believe it had multiple gigabytes of storage as well as a far better and more fully featured interface. Best feature was multiple backlight colors. Red, blue, yellow, white, pink, and I believe a brown-yellow and lighter blue.

I had a mettalic blue one of these, and the battery spring was so strong it literally crushed and exploded AAAs within 2 days

My first MP3 player was also a 128mb back when I was 13 or 14 (I'm 30 now), and I remember that I payed 130€ for it. Yep, 130€ for 128mb, but man, I was the king in the secondary school. At some point, it broke, and I was able to return it and get reimbursed, I then got a iPod for almost the same price a year later. God I'm old.

My first mp3 player was also my last - an iPod 3rd Generation (that I still have somewhere). Lasted until my first iPhone (3GS) and then there was no real use for a separate mp3 player anymore.

Anonymous

Oh god, this was literally my first MP3 player. The exact same model. They used the cheapest buttons you can throw onto a PCB. Some of them broke after a few hundred presses. It also randomly garbled the data on the actual chip itself so my songs got mashed together (the actual MP3 files were mixed into each other). Worst POS ever but I used it for a long time, because I was poor.
