After Show: My first MP3 player.

Found DankPods a few weeks ago. Finally got his patreon and was hoping to see a Muvo (my first mp3 player). Find a video with a Muvo and he teases me with not talking about it. Come on man.

I have a serious question, if 1 grit gets splitted will it be 2 grit or 0,5 grit?

holy fk 6:04 got me in tears lmfaoo I love it when you just go feral

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.

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.

Johan Eriksson

Woah, I can’t believe there were that many tantalum capacitors in that crappy little nugget.

I couldn't remember what my one of my first mp3 players were. I finally found one after searching "Creative square mp3 player." Turns out it was the Creative Nomad MuVo2 4gb. What a dinky way to control things. The wheel was so smol

Super late, but it's "Trapped" by Quincas Moreria

Hello! 11 Months later, song is "Trapped" by Quincas Moreria

I knew someone who had that Creative player too :D

najtrows

I had one exactly the same but 256mb ;D I used it while skateboarding for like 5 years or something. I still have it and it still works! Missing the battery cover though

najtrows

i had one so similar as my first mp3. it was 128mb and had 007 branding on it. i didnt like james bond, my dad just gave it to me bc he got it for free

of course he has "now thats what i call shrek"

I swear i had that exact player, it was moms and all 500mb was full of rolling stones and Nickelback.

My first looked exactly like that, iitronics branded and sucked batteries dry like an ex wife

You had my first MP3 player - the Rio 500, absolutely loved that thing up until I lost the proprietary usb cable

I actually had one of these and it was total junk.

extra one-grit action is why i subbed to this patreon. love it.

Phauxpaws

I had one of those exact nuggets! Was my first MP3-player.

I had a piece of junk exatly like this, straight from China branded as "diablotek." It was a 512 beast. Honestly the real reason I stopped using it is that it ate through AAA!s like crazy.

Putz

This is why I joined the patreon.

Omg, I had the same one! Except it was made out of silver plastic.

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.

fuck yeah smooshy

I went :O :O :O when the creative mp3 player with the removable USB. That's what I used in the last part of high school and early Uni!!!!

So glad I finally joined the patreon

There will be a day when the 1 grit loses

Ah the One Grit has taken another life

moootayy

Wow thats a blast from the past, my mom had both of these and i used to use them to play music while commuting to school! amazing to see them again tbh

For a minute there I was worried you weren’t going to show us it getting grit.

i personally dont think this one deserved the one grit. felt bad.

kinda wish I had these battery powered MP3 players whenever we’d have to go on school camps and hikes, i would always go to sleep with some kind of audio on so to have that would’ve been awesome

YTPizzer

Not far off my first player as well.

We had exactly these kind of MP3 Players around when I went to school. Everyone had one of these and yes 128mb where crazy back then.

I'm pretty sure this is exactly the same mp3 as my sister's first one except hers was pink

My first mp3 player was an RCA Lyra with a 32mb CF card. I loved that piece of crap.

PC

Yeah I had one of these (UK), either 128 or 256gb, brand was Sumvision. It had the mad backlight colours and I specifically remember that horrible janky blackboard paint texture it had. Many happy paper rounds spent playing Green Day's International Superhits

Tom Vaughan

Oh wow! That thing looks so much like my first mp3 player! I got it second hand from my dad when I was in middle school, so like: 2007-2008.

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

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

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

Sauwercraud

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

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.

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)

Holy shit that Creativ mp3 player was the first one I ever owned, I loved that thing, I downloaded a bunch of Crazy Frog songs and other songs like Blue by Eiffel 65. A few years later I got my first iPod which was a Nano 3rd gen.

Am the 100th comment

Giga Civic

EYYYY I was wondering when I was going to see my first MP3 player here. It was the Creative MuVo USB thing. I stored everything on that guy.

This was the first MP3 player that I owned.

Roberto Ramos

I had one of these omg

James Dahlke

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.

Makani

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.

Leon Lionheart

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!

Declan Reid

this video unlocked a memory. This was the exact one i had growing up.

Man, I had a 64mb Creative Nomad in Year 7, was pretty damn sweet, could fit two whole albums on there if I was so bold as to drop them to 96kbps

me too

You're doing the lords work son, ridding the planet of all these disgusting, janky mp3 players from yesteryear. Keep it up!

OMG, this brought back memories of when I had my Coby MP-C888 mp3 player! Very similar design but with multicolored backlight.

What's the song at the end?? :D

Samantha

Song? At end of vid

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

AstralPhnx

I want that Creative Muvo TXFM thing I have 2 Creative Nano Zen 1GB but that is cooler

creative must have sold a cuntload of those mp3 players, there really were a lot of them in circulation

:0 new to patreon nice vids man

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

Nick Nguyen

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.

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

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

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!”

damn! i have one of theses lmao, the screen is falling out, the cover for the usb end is missing ans so is the batt cover, its been washed 4 times, ran over by a car and a smt fell off it the other day BUT IT STILL WORKS

expect a call from me soon...

you fool giving up your phone number like that

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.

Paul Douglas

Ｃｏｍｍｅｎｃｅ Ｇｒｉｔｔｉｎｇ

I had one very similar before I got the iPod nano 2nd gen

I had a little creative player like that

That thing came under a bunch of names. I had a Gateway branded one at one point.

One hundred and twenty eight MILLION bytes? No one will ever fill up that amount of space!

It looks like it's from like 1998 or 1999

The Nugg should've side stepped it.

I lost it when you punched the Nugget

ShiningTaiga

Was it this model? https://www.cnet.com/reviews/sandisk-sansa-m200-review/ this was my first mp3 player too!!! you probably didn't bedazzle yours tho....#2000sGirlThings

My first MP3 player was a sandisk sansa. You should definitely check that thing out.

I actually had an mp3 player really similar to that one and my friend from school wanted to trade with me for her ipod Sadly my parents said no

Alexis Ross

B I G B O T H E R. Also I loved that music at the end. As for my first MP3 Player, I’m pretty sure that was my 4th gen iPod Touch.

superstar64

I seem to be one of the lucky ones to basically have my first mp3 player be an iPod touch 4th gen

I bought a bag of random MP3 players and I now have another one. They seem to be very common lol

i just found that exact MP3 player in my drawer

ErickHatesBMC

Cmon barbie lets go party

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....

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!

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

Avoided a bullet, that lego player is pure garb

That doesn't sound great!

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

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

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

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

ROUND.

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.

Matthew Dunlop

End of ze world holy shit that brought me back

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!

MapleGryph

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

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

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

Azeria

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

Azeria

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.

Tom Williams

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

The pre-ipod days were like the wild west!

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

Cheers Jax!

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

Shaun Potter

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

I legit had this exact same one but the screen was slightly different and it wasnt by that company

I'm so glad I became a Patreon, I can't put into words how much joy I get from these videos

Kitt

It'll be like Buster from Mythbusters, the next 1 grit will be born. Or The Stig from Top Gear. Differen't generations of gritting.

Sand paper is a consumable after all

It's a super useful test speaker with AUX MODE and 💋 BLUETOOTH MODE 💋

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

I had this exact mp3 player back in middle school.

i just realized.... i have a spare 7th gen screen that i could have sent with the shrek.... oof

Sawyer GIlbert

Poor one grit is slowly breaking. One day he’s just going to explode and we lose our hero

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?

Ilya Ryabtsev

Thank you for bringing laugh-out-loud humor to the day :)

Larry Anderson

Altough it was defeated, it did damage the 1grit

Ha I had that exact player as well! Makes we want to try and find the thing!

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.

Sexy Speaker made a comeback here

Matvey Meijer

I had something very similar when I was a young lad too

Dude i had one JUST LIKE THAT omg only it was awa branded. i remember saving all my dollarydoos to get it from Big W.

Dark5lalom

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 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.

Lucas Notch

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!

the 1 grit didn't want to smash that 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

HA great to see a "wild" one of these!

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

Ardimo Harsa

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

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

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

Punching is an efficient way to cause the sads

You punched it and it caught the sads.

Lily Shults

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