1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:07,240
If you're like us, you probably have fond memories of the iPod. While it was revolutionary, it wasn't even close to the first MP3 player on the scene.

2
00:00:07,240 --> 00:00:11,760
These aren't iPods! These are weird old MP3 players!

3
00:00:11,760 --> 00:00:15,360
Our buddy Dankpods flew all the way from Down Under to the Great White North.

4
00:00:15,360 --> 00:00:21,160
Come on, what are you doing? To show us the weirdest and rarest MP3 players made by PC brands.

5
00:00:21,160 --> 00:00:28,400
Is it coming out? We got Intel. We got Creative. We got Lexar. We got Dell.

6
00:00:28,480 --> 00:00:32,240
iOmega? Is that a zip drive? Yeah, this is some weird stuff.

7
00:00:32,240 --> 00:00:35,600
iOmega's dead, aren't they? Are they? Oh, I don't know.

8
00:00:35,600 --> 00:00:37,360
A moment of silence.

9
00:00:39,360 --> 00:00:44,640
Wait, isn't that the secret one that we shouldn't be showing? And a secret one that's from Linus' childhood.

10
00:00:44,640 --> 00:00:49,280
I think, I could be wrong and Linus could get here and be like, I never owned that and I'll roll with that as well.

11
00:00:49,280 --> 00:00:53,200
Any reactions, a good reaction. Wow, we're so prepared.

12
00:00:53,200 --> 00:00:57,520
Let's dig in. This one, I swear there is no paper trail at all of this thing.

13
00:00:57,520 --> 00:01:02,120
When I was looking into this, there's one JPEG and it's just this part heavily cropped.

14
00:01:02,120 --> 00:01:09,160
If you try and search up Lexar 128 megabyte, it will show Lexar 128 Gigabyte things and then that's it.

15
00:01:09,160 --> 00:01:13,800
Like, there's nearly no information at all. What are we looking at? This is a MP3 player, right?

16
00:01:13,800 --> 00:01:17,280
Oh, baby, this is back when megabytes meant something.

17
00:01:17,280 --> 00:01:22,120
Inflation's gotten everything. So 128 megabytes, carry music wherever you go.

18
00:01:22,120 --> 00:01:25,120
Everywhere. And data wherever you go. Maybe, yes.

19
00:01:25,120 --> 00:01:29,920
And I hate that the price got scratched off. Someone was very ashamed about what this costs back in the day.

20
00:01:29,920 --> 00:01:34,360
Because I remember my first flash drive was 32 megabytes and it cost a fortune.

21
00:01:34,360 --> 00:01:38,600
I believe this is either late 90s or very, very early thousands.

22
00:01:38,600 --> 00:01:42,680
We're going to have to find some paperwork in there to see what it actually, what it was actually made.

23
00:01:42,680 --> 00:01:46,120
Yeah, Lexar, they're still going, aren't they? They've been through a couple of hands at this point.

24
00:01:46,120 --> 00:01:50,280
They were micron actually at one point for memory SD cards.

25
00:01:50,280 --> 00:01:54,280
We know what happened with micron. Can you believe this is like 20 something years old?

26
00:01:54,720 --> 00:01:58,480
Pushin' 30 and everyone said no. Do you know what's crazy to me?

27
00:01:58,480 --> 00:02:02,440
Is this storage comparison on the back here? Two hours of music for 128 megabytes.

28
00:02:02,440 --> 00:02:07,440
That's 88 floppy disks? But I bet you that's like 64 kilobit, like...

29
00:02:07,440 --> 00:02:12,280
MP3's got a bad rap from these days because I've got some of these that are like used

30
00:02:12,280 --> 00:02:15,640
and they've still got slipknot on them from 1999. They sound horrible.

31
00:02:15,640 --> 00:02:21,960
Like early MP3 compression was garbage. And I bet you to get that many hours of music on 128 megs,

32
00:02:21,960 --> 00:02:25,360
it was just... It was probably 128 kilobit.

33
00:02:25,360 --> 00:02:29,960
That's what the standard was for a lot of stuff. Some of the lower quality stuff was 96,

34
00:02:29,960 --> 00:02:33,480
but yeah, you hear the cymbal ring and it's...

35
00:02:33,480 --> 00:02:37,160
Easy to use one button navigation, which has never been true.

36
00:02:37,160 --> 00:02:41,280
Having one button is not easy navigation. Keep believe no one copied this.

37
00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:44,680
After this no one replicated. Absolutely not. Everyone knocked off the iPod.

38
00:02:44,680 --> 00:02:48,560
But who wouldn't want the eggnipple interface? Do we know it the year?

39
00:02:48,560 --> 00:02:52,720
macOS 9 or above, Windows Millennium 2000 XP. That to me sounds...

40
00:02:52,720 --> 00:02:57,200
So it's at least... Turn of the century. Yep. For context, the iPod came out in 2001.

41
00:02:57,200 --> 00:03:01,040
The very first one. The way I found this was by searching MP3

42
00:03:01,040 --> 00:03:05,760
and scrolling for six hours. And then it appeared. I wasn't actually looking for this.

43
00:03:05,760 --> 00:03:09,440
Breathe the air, you're wasting it. Actually, no, don't do that.

44
00:03:09,440 --> 00:03:13,560
I hope it's super greasy. How's it feel? It's in good condition. It's not like rubber, right?

45
00:03:13,560 --> 00:03:17,440
No. Still got the protective bit over the screen too. My brand new knife.

46
00:03:17,440 --> 00:03:20,640
You can do a peel. A single AAA. It's not for retail trade.

47
00:03:20,680 --> 00:03:24,880
I don't know if there's an expiry on it. It doesn't look like it's leaked. No, it looks like it's in pretty good condition.

48
00:03:24,880 --> 00:03:28,680
So it's better than new Energizer batteries. You want to test it? Yes.

49
00:03:28,680 --> 00:03:32,040
0.6 volts. Hey. What's it meant to be? 1.3, I think.

50
00:03:32,040 --> 00:03:35,080
1.2. But it's still something hiding in there.

51
00:03:35,080 --> 00:03:38,760
Before we get into the documentation, we got the back case made in China.

52
00:03:38,760 --> 00:03:43,160
Wow. We got a clippable lanyard, a USB adapter.

53
00:03:43,160 --> 00:03:46,680
That'd be USB 1.1. Is this a... Why is it...

54
00:03:46,680 --> 00:03:51,880
Oh! It's got a USB on it. So this is if you have to put it into like a recessed port.

55
00:03:51,880 --> 00:03:56,120
And we got a pair of headphones. Dirty birds. Do you like treble?

56
00:03:56,120 --> 00:03:59,120
Dude, I love it. You love those. Why is the end all dirty?

57
00:03:59,120 --> 00:04:02,720
It looks like a chocolate bun. I don't know. Cause I thought maybe it'd be like rubber reversion, but it's not.

58
00:04:02,720 --> 00:04:06,480
I think it was from the battery leaking on it. Oh, yeah, put it in. That one's not going to work. No, I put it in.

59
00:04:06,480 --> 00:04:09,000
You can try it. Don't listen to him. Do it, do it.

60
00:04:11,160 --> 00:04:14,400
We can grab a... Yeah, let's go get a real AAA. What's this?

61
00:04:14,400 --> 00:04:16,760
That's the headphone jack? That's where the headphone goes in.

62
00:04:17,760 --> 00:04:21,880
It's only goes on one way. It only goes on.

63
00:04:21,880 --> 00:04:25,000
Oh my goodness. I tried to put it on. I hope it's got music on it.

64
00:04:26,880 --> 00:04:30,840
It turns on. No files. Okay, no, there is no music on it.

65
00:04:30,840 --> 00:04:34,440
Well, it's got a backlight. Yeah, it does have a backlight. It's like the indiglo watches.

66
00:04:34,440 --> 00:04:37,800
Look, there's some music notes. How many settings you got? Normal.

67
00:04:37,800 --> 00:04:42,240
Rock. Jazz. Classical.

68
00:04:42,240 --> 00:04:45,720
Pop. Boom. That is your V.

69
00:04:45,720 --> 00:04:49,400
Leave it on boom. We want boom, baby. Backlight.

70
00:04:49,400 --> 00:04:53,160
Condor. The menu is everything. It's not, there's no like setting submenu.

71
00:04:53,160 --> 00:04:57,960
We'll put music on it in a bit. Yeah, yeah, yeah. We're gonna get these loaded up. I wanna see the Intel one now.

72
00:04:57,960 --> 00:05:03,200
Get away from me. This genuinely is one of my pride and joys of my nugget hood.

73
00:05:03,200 --> 00:05:06,520
This is the one I always wanted to bring. I didn't even know they tried.

74
00:05:06,520 --> 00:05:10,120
And 1999, they heaved this thing out. They really cared.

75
00:05:10,120 --> 00:05:13,280
Like every big PC company got in way before Apple

76
00:05:13,280 --> 00:05:16,280
and none of them had it hit at all. If it wasn't an iPod, no one bought it.

77
00:05:16,880 --> 00:05:21,840
The Intel Pocket Concert. This one's got 128 megs too, but does four hours.

78
00:05:21,840 --> 00:05:24,960
It's also got FM radio? That's sick.

79
00:05:24,960 --> 00:05:27,960
Durable aluminum. Very low distortion. I'm sorry, what'd you call it?

80
00:05:27,960 --> 00:05:31,640
It's spelled that, okay? I don't know how to tell you this. I'm pretty sure it's aluminium though.

81
00:05:31,640 --> 00:05:35,280
Bro, are you Intel? This is full of stuff, this is loaded.

82
00:05:35,280 --> 00:05:38,320
This is a big box. Like also look at the like. Poof.

83
00:05:38,320 --> 00:05:41,440
Poof. It's like exploding at you.

84
00:05:41,440 --> 00:05:44,720
Well, they had to. Cause this is how you knew about it. It was on a store shelf.

85
00:05:44,720 --> 00:05:48,200
Wow. She looks kind of scary. She's scaring the academy.

86
00:05:48,200 --> 00:05:52,720
11 megawatt high-put audio amplifier with a total harmonic distortion plus N.

87
00:05:52,720 --> 00:05:55,960
I don't know, what's that? Of 0.04%.

88
00:05:55,960 --> 00:06:00,000
And look at this man, he's gone for a run. Hopefully it comes with these headphones.

89
00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:03,080
Cause they look- All the wrapper on the back? They look something else.

90
00:06:05,280 --> 00:06:09,400
No, it's not as good. Look, there's just- Oh!

91
00:06:09,400 --> 00:06:12,920
We got a disc. Oh, it's sealed in its own.

92
00:06:12,920 --> 00:06:17,000
Okay. So much packaging. Look at the size of this manual.

93
00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:21,360
No one showed the upgrade key. Someone's going to take that and I won't be able to upgrade.

94
00:06:21,360 --> 00:06:27,160
Should we call Intel customer support? I think we need the software, the Intel audio manager.

95
00:06:27,160 --> 00:06:31,000
And it's telling us how to put in a CD-ROM. Which I guess was a big deal in 1999.

96
00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:34,720
Operating vehicles do not use your player and headphones while operating a motorized vehicle.

97
00:06:34,720 --> 00:06:37,800
Or riding a bicycle. Now that's what people do. That was going to say.

98
00:06:37,800 --> 00:06:40,280
With noise canceling now. Also look at this.

99
00:06:42,920 --> 00:06:46,560
Wait a minute. So the crappy Lexar, we got an actual energizer.

100
00:06:46,560 --> 00:06:50,360
And Intel was just putting in generic rubbish batches. How do you think they could afford this?

101
00:06:50,360 --> 00:06:57,120
That card stock, huh? Yeah. And also the security tape. Wow, so like genuinely, this is a brand stinking new.

102
00:06:57,120 --> 00:07:01,760
Oh no, look at all the foam from the headphones coming off. Like if you handle those, it's going to go-

103
00:07:01,760 --> 00:07:05,480
Just to degree. See, I'm not going to breathe this one in. Because this actually is like-

104
00:07:05,480 --> 00:07:09,360
This is gross actually. This is an issue. Okay, we have-

105
00:07:09,360 --> 00:07:13,360
What is that? We have this. Belt clip. Oh!

106
00:07:13,640 --> 00:07:17,000
It actually feels pretty good. It is metal. It is aluminum.

107
00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:21,960
Aluminum. Aluminum. Oh, it burned a hole in the paper.

108
00:07:23,960 --> 00:07:27,960
This sweaty greasy spot. That's acid etched onto the disc.

109
00:07:27,960 --> 00:07:31,040
If you're only using 150 megs, you're only going like that far.

110
00:07:31,040 --> 00:07:35,200
Could be full of free music. And it's going to put all that schmutz all over the headphones.

111
00:07:35,200 --> 00:07:38,880
This is a nice cable though. Feel that? It's a nice cable. I know a place you can get nicer ones.

112
00:07:38,880 --> 00:07:42,360
Well, not right now. They're awesome. But LTTstore.com, eventually.

113
00:07:42,360 --> 00:07:45,920
They're so good, you can't get them. Dude, it comes with a preloaded digital audio file

114
00:07:45,920 --> 00:07:49,000
entitled Guided Tour. We need to hear that. We have to hear that.

115
00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:52,960
We have to listen to that. Digital- Yop! Firmware version 1.0.

116
00:07:52,960 --> 00:07:56,880
It's a USB composite device. And then it went blank. This is meant to be a baffling experience.

117
00:07:56,880 --> 00:08:00,680
CD-ROM! No, you missed it! Setup D! Here we go.

118
00:08:00,680 --> 00:08:04,800
Whoa! If we show this on screen, someone will figure out what that says.

119
00:08:04,800 --> 00:08:09,720
Good. We'll put it in the comments below. Boost engagement. Would you like to receive free personalized music?

120
00:08:09,720 --> 00:08:14,200
Yes, recommended. Yeah, yeah, put this on the internet. I hate that there's no progress bar,

121
00:08:14,200 --> 00:08:17,280
even though most progress bars are a lie. We went past the progress bars.

122
00:08:17,280 --> 00:08:20,160
The progress bar finished, and now we gotta please wait. Whoa!

123
00:08:21,440 --> 00:08:25,080
Oh, God! 60 Second Studio Tour! Oh!

124
00:08:25,080 --> 00:08:28,120
Dot MP3. Oh! Put it in.

125
00:08:28,120 --> 00:08:31,160
Okay. Success! Yes, Intel Audio Manager.

126
00:08:31,160 --> 00:08:35,040
First name. Can we both add the same ID? Postal code.

127
00:08:35,040 --> 00:08:39,000
5000. Okay, that's good. Yes!

128
00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:42,480
Can we just put the ox cable in it? Welcome to the Intel Pocket Concert.

129
00:08:42,480 --> 00:08:47,240
Oh! I can studio tour. There you go. We've got hours of mind-blowing audio.

130
00:08:47,240 --> 00:08:50,720
What's happening with the doors? What was it like? But this is the minute tour.

131
00:08:50,720 --> 00:08:55,720
Just a few highs and lows over a really big sound.

132
00:08:56,400 --> 00:08:59,760
What is with the... Stop! Keep the door shut! We're filming in here!

133
00:08:59,760 --> 00:09:05,720
And we thought brain rot is a new thing. Thanks to the Intel Pocket Concert!

134
00:09:05,720 --> 00:09:09,840
Woo! Who kept opening and closing the door?

135
00:09:10,080 --> 00:09:13,720
What was with the door? There's a little knob on the left side of the player.

136
00:09:13,720 --> 00:09:17,480
Bump it up one click from the circle to the dash. That turns it on.

137
00:09:17,480 --> 00:09:22,200
Play, which you're doing already. I know. Click the big play button on the face of the...

138
00:09:22,200 --> 00:09:23,880
He's so far away. Watch out.

139
00:09:25,720 --> 00:09:29,000
Trouble with poets. There could be content match issues with this.

140
00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:33,960
High wire by the Clarks something. This seems like a genuinely good product.

141
00:09:33,960 --> 00:09:37,360
Yeah, it's got good reviews. This, I'd less enthusiastic about it,

142
00:09:37,360 --> 00:09:42,160
but maybe maybe our next one will be genuinely good too. This one's fun because it looks heavily used.

143
00:09:42,160 --> 00:09:46,680
It looks like it's been thrashed through oblivion. It's not. This baby is brand new.

144
00:09:46,680 --> 00:09:50,400
No, no, I'm getting to that.

145
00:09:50,400 --> 00:09:53,840
Just something to note about old MP3 players. Everyone bought iPods.

146
00:09:53,840 --> 00:09:57,800
Literally it was like 80% market share. It was like the Beatles. Never to be done again.

147
00:09:57,800 --> 00:10:01,200
But everyone tried to compete with it. And it's like competing with like your little brother

148
00:10:01,200 --> 00:10:04,880
or something who's like really famous. Someone looked at this for years,

149
00:10:04,880 --> 00:10:08,160
looked inside and went, oh, that's no good.

150
00:10:08,160 --> 00:10:13,760
And then they wrote iPod on it and chucked it in the shell. Like they can't escape the association.

151
00:10:13,760 --> 00:10:16,800
It's like a call in every game console on Nintendo. Well, I was going to say this.

152
00:10:16,800 --> 00:10:21,280
Reminds me of when Microsoft paid the NFL. A ton of money to use Microsoft services.

153
00:10:21,280 --> 00:10:25,720
And they kept calling it the iPad. They're just assessing the play on the iPad. Yeah, this one's great.

154
00:10:25,720 --> 00:10:29,680
This is an iPod mini clone, essentially. Except for the interface.

155
00:10:29,680 --> 00:10:34,280
The pocket DJ. But for like 20 years, people have opened this box,

156
00:10:34,280 --> 00:10:37,640
looked in it and went, I don't want that. Oh, feel the head.

157
00:10:37,640 --> 00:10:41,400
Oh, you know, actually that feels pretty good. Oh, oh, stickiness.

158
00:10:41,400 --> 00:10:45,240
Yeah, it's got the rubberized ends on it. I think this is 2004.

159
00:10:45,240 --> 00:10:48,400
This is like iPod mini days. And man, pirating was out of control.

160
00:10:48,400 --> 00:10:51,720
Metallica was on the phone with Dell like, tell them not to steal, tell them not to steal.

161
00:10:51,720 --> 00:10:55,760
This has Microsoft plays for sure certification.

162
00:10:55,760 --> 00:11:00,680
Five Gigabyte. Holy smokes. This is huge. And look, the birth of mini USB.

163
00:11:00,680 --> 00:11:03,760
That's actually a nice cable. If it wasn't an absolutely obsolete standard.

164
00:11:03,760 --> 00:11:07,120
It feels nice in the hand. It looks decent. Got Phillips screws in it.

165
00:11:07,120 --> 00:11:10,640
Should I get my LTT precision screwdriver from LTTstore.com and bust that out?

166
00:11:10,640 --> 00:11:14,040
Dude, you're such a shill and I love it. We are plugged in.

167
00:11:14,040 --> 00:11:17,240
Whoa! There's light. Ticking a while to start.

168
00:11:17,240 --> 00:11:20,280
Maybe the, the drive is all blocked up. It's never.

169
00:11:20,280 --> 00:11:23,360
It's not, I don't feel it moving. That's not good because we should.

170
00:11:23,360 --> 00:11:26,840
I hear it. It is moving. I hear it. Honestly, it would have booted by now. How do you know?

171
00:11:26,840 --> 00:11:29,920
Because I have a lot of these old MP3 players.

172
00:11:29,920 --> 00:11:34,520
It should have worked already. Get round of applause for the Dell logo, everybody.

173
00:11:34,520 --> 00:11:38,000
That's it. I'm opening up. Give it. Look, you guys sent me a dank pods one.

174
00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:42,600
Look at this and you put dank pods on it and it's green. It's like no one wants you to get in this thing.

175
00:11:42,600 --> 00:11:48,760
Okay. We've lost some plastic. Wow. Yeah. That's the absolutely tiny little micro drives.

176
00:11:48,760 --> 00:11:52,160
The takeaway, please don't steal music. All right. We got two more.

177
00:11:52,160 --> 00:11:56,040
This is the one I'm the most excited about and the inspiration really for bringing this here.

178
00:11:56,040 --> 00:11:59,120
Cause this is some proper wacky PC stuff.

179
00:11:59,120 --> 00:12:03,320
Freakin hip zip. These are click drives, I believe they're cold.

180
00:12:03,320 --> 00:12:06,520
It was like spinning magnetic meteors last gasp

181
00:12:06,520 --> 00:12:09,880
at fighting off solid state USB drives.

182
00:12:09,880 --> 00:12:14,720
And they're horrifically unreliable. Most people who've handled them, they just don't work.

183
00:12:14,720 --> 00:12:18,920
But 80 megabytes each. 80 megabytes. Huge.

184
00:12:18,920 --> 00:12:23,040
That's like a 10th of a CD. And infinitely times more fragile.

185
00:12:23,040 --> 00:12:26,320
Like these are so slim. And like, I mean, no one bought this.

186
00:12:26,320 --> 00:12:30,240
Can you believe that? No one bought this at all. Oh, you got to show the techie stuff.

187
00:12:30,240 --> 00:12:33,400
Cause this is a tech channel. System requirements. System requirements.

188
00:12:33,400 --> 00:12:36,840
The techie stuff you need to know. Eight comes with two discs, which is very...

189
00:12:36,840 --> 00:12:40,320
Oh, they're 40 megabyte. That's why it's 80 megabytes included. Those checks.

190
00:12:40,320 --> 00:12:45,880
They were lying. They're 40 megs each, not 80. It also doubles as an external 40 megabyte pocket zip drive.

191
00:12:45,880 --> 00:12:50,400
This thing's such a nugget. This one comes with a digital audio player carrying case.

192
00:12:50,400 --> 00:12:52,320
You were breaking it. Crack it open.

193
00:12:55,360 --> 00:12:59,200
Nothing. One.

194
00:12:59,200 --> 00:13:02,360
Cable. A plug that doesn't work in my country.

195
00:13:02,360 --> 00:13:06,000
Thanks for purchasing this Omega product. There is my chippy.

196
00:13:06,000 --> 00:13:10,240
It sounds... Oh, and tiny little cassettes. These are so fragile.

197
00:13:10,240 --> 00:13:13,480
This is not good. Enhance.

198
00:13:13,480 --> 00:13:16,640
Whoa, we got the sporty ears. What are they called?

199
00:13:16,640 --> 00:13:20,320
Labtech? They've just stuffed it with non biodegradable everything.

200
00:13:20,320 --> 00:13:23,600
It's like, don't want that to collapse. Hang on, someone's ripped into this.

201
00:13:23,600 --> 00:13:27,440
But it was sealed. I cut it open. It was in plastic. Who would want this?

202
00:13:27,440 --> 00:13:32,440
Now that's how it's meant to feel. Considering it has no media in it currently,

203
00:13:32,440 --> 00:13:36,240
feel the weight of it. That's chunky. Stop!

204
00:13:36,240 --> 00:13:40,000
Comes with two discs, hatefully. Omega wear. Omega wear.

205
00:13:40,000 --> 00:13:44,000
Yo, we got another key for a music match jukebox. Oh, because we lost the first one.

206
00:13:44,000 --> 00:13:48,120
People stole it. Now that takes me back. The old translucent cable.

207
00:13:48,120 --> 00:13:53,800
Oh, and we have another proprietary end dingle on it. So it charges via a like barrel connector.

208
00:13:53,800 --> 00:13:58,240
Yep, because USB couldn't do it. Early USB couldn't charge first device.

209
00:13:58,240 --> 00:14:00,240
It's why the first iPod used firewire.

210
00:14:01,600 --> 00:14:05,840
Oh, Omega. It's got a little, it's got a throbber.

211
00:14:05,840 --> 00:14:09,080
Insert a disc. Do it! Which way does it go?

212
00:14:09,080 --> 00:14:12,720
Yes, yes. Okay. Tell me what happened.

213
00:14:12,720 --> 00:14:15,960
It turned off way. This is so common for most of these ancient nuggets

214
00:14:15,960 --> 00:14:19,760
is that they don't do anything. Have you noticed all of these are silver and blue?

215
00:14:19,760 --> 00:14:23,200
That was the late 90s, early thousands. Updating the registry.

216
00:14:23,200 --> 00:14:26,280
Oh my God. Your kernel has been compromised. Hacked, hacked.

217
00:14:26,280 --> 00:14:29,720
One or nothing, there's songs on this. Get our overbuilt speaker in here.

218
00:14:29,720 --> 00:14:33,080
But look at where the fricking headphone jack comes up.

219
00:14:33,080 --> 00:14:35,880
They like forgot, they like put all the other ports and they're like, oh, shh.

220
00:14:37,240 --> 00:14:40,720
Hey! These work?

221
00:14:40,720 --> 00:14:46,000
This is playing off of spinning garbage. Well, now you've done it.

222
00:14:46,000 --> 00:14:50,240
Oh dear. Did it just die just then? Still, the audio's not outputting.

223
00:14:50,240 --> 00:14:54,040
Yeah, these are known to be unreliable, can you believe? I think she's dead, bud.

224
00:14:54,040 --> 00:14:57,160
I don't know, I'm still using it. Adam, Adam, stop.

225
00:14:57,760 --> 00:15:01,480
Just stop it. Get some help. Do you wanna try and plug it in and see if it detects?

226
00:15:01,480 --> 00:15:04,920
Yeah? Yeah, it says it's connected there, it doesn't say it's connected up here. The hip zip's no more.

227
00:15:04,920 --> 00:15:10,400
We heard a song on it. That's pretty epic. Oh, you gotta have it connected when you reboot?

228
00:15:10,400 --> 00:15:13,400
Oh! Oh! Oh!

229
00:15:13,400 --> 00:15:16,560
It's there! It's there! Congratulations!

230
00:15:16,560 --> 00:15:20,680
Used, 16.7 megs. That's rough, if there's four songs in here.

231
00:15:20,680 --> 00:15:24,600
It is actually still alive. Do you think the other CD has other stuff on it? That's CD.

232
00:15:24,600 --> 00:15:29,560
Disc life status, 100%. Subscribe my son, 16, a bit fat.

233
00:15:29,560 --> 00:15:33,920
In fact, you gotta restart the whole computer and have it plugged in.

234
00:15:33,920 --> 00:15:38,160
There's my chippy. Oh, yeah, no, it just, it recognizes that there's nothing there now.

235
00:15:38,160 --> 00:15:41,840
If this is hot swappable, that would be amazing. It's done it. It's hot swappable.

236
00:15:41,840 --> 00:15:46,080
We've got the same song. It's exactly the same. The Swingerillers and Dick Swab.

237
00:15:46,080 --> 00:15:50,200
Excuse me? They give you the same stuff on both discs

238
00:15:50,200 --> 00:15:53,000
because maybe they're guessing one of these is gonna brick in post.

239
00:15:53,960 --> 00:15:54,800
Oh!

240
00:15:57,880 --> 00:16:01,040
Dick Swab. Wow, it still works.

241
00:16:01,040 --> 00:16:04,080
Good for it. That was awesome. I love the hip set, okay?

242
00:16:04,080 --> 00:16:09,240
Both of these, we got a good 30 seconds at each of these before they compound into oblivion.

243
00:16:09,240 --> 00:16:12,600
I like how nearly everything is broken immediately.

244
00:16:12,600 --> 00:16:16,280
Straight away. I swear I've heard Linus bring up that he had one of these as a kid.

245
00:16:16,280 --> 00:16:20,000
Maybe I've just dreamt that and made it up and it's just absolutely not true,

246
00:16:20,000 --> 00:16:24,760
but I swear he's mentioned this. And this was the best music dingus

247
00:16:24,760 --> 00:16:28,040
that you could get at the time. It's like six gigs and it's got a butt.

248
00:16:28,040 --> 00:16:32,240
Look at that dumper on it. Yeah, that's chunky.

249
00:16:32,240 --> 00:16:35,600
Oh, Linus is here. Did I come in a little faster?

250
00:16:35,600 --> 00:16:39,880
That was great. That was a good segue. So we've been looking at all of these whack

251
00:16:39,880 --> 00:16:45,400
little MP3 players. That one totally worked. That one totally lasted for longer than 20 seconds.

252
00:16:45,400 --> 00:16:49,400
You seen these? Whoa, that's sick.

253
00:16:49,400 --> 00:16:54,560
It's basically the guts of a floppy disc. The last gasp of spinning magnetic media

254
00:16:54,560 --> 00:16:58,240
versus flash drives and whatnot. I love it. It's yours.

255
00:16:58,240 --> 00:17:01,280
Firewire and everything. Yeah, I don't want any more. So that's yours.

256
00:17:01,280 --> 00:17:04,880
You can have it, mate. Thank you. And you've got something else, right?

257
00:17:04,880 --> 00:17:07,880
Yeah, well, I mean, you've hidden it. You've taken it away.

258
00:17:07,880 --> 00:17:13,440
Just close your eyes. So he assures me that this is a gem from your childhood.

259
00:17:13,440 --> 00:17:18,120
I don't know. Is it an RCA lira? I've got one of them, but no. Did you have one of these?

260
00:17:18,120 --> 00:17:22,680
Oh, God. I didn't, but kids with more money than me did.

261
00:17:22,680 --> 00:17:28,680
These were so expensive. Yes, they were. And this is brand new inbox and it's yours.

262
00:17:28,680 --> 00:17:32,840
You can have it. Yeah, where are those kids with more money now, huh? How did you get this?

263
00:17:32,840 --> 00:17:37,760
Well, the trick is no one wants them. Right. And so all of these were maybe 10, 20 bucks each

264
00:17:37,760 --> 00:17:42,520
about six, seven years ago when I first found these. They were just being dumped on mass.

265
00:17:42,520 --> 00:17:46,280
And sure enough, I get it and open it and it's still brand new in it.

266
00:17:46,280 --> 00:17:50,160
Dude, it supports EAX. Yes. Six gigs.

267
00:17:50,160 --> 00:17:55,920
Like back when this thing came out, that was an ungodly amount of music storage.

268
00:17:55,920 --> 00:17:59,240
Eight megs of DRAM buffer. Wow, that's an investment that paid off.

269
00:17:59,240 --> 00:18:02,720
Wait, get that out of there. This guy's got RAM. Some things have aged well.

270
00:18:02,720 --> 00:18:06,520
Some things not so well. Six gig hard drive, a hundred hours.

271
00:18:06,520 --> 00:18:11,360
Okay, that's pretty good. Four hours of battery life on four nickel metal hydride batteries.

272
00:18:11,360 --> 00:18:15,040
Yeah. You only need a hundred batteries to listen to all of your music. You're right.

273
00:18:15,040 --> 00:18:18,920
It's totally new. At least I hope so. I've made sure not to pick through it.

274
00:18:18,920 --> 00:18:23,120
No, it's brand new. This tape has never been opened. 15 watts.

275
00:18:23,120 --> 00:18:27,480
Whoa. You can go with our other ones.

276
00:18:27,480 --> 00:18:31,000
Yeah, don't put them on your head. You will never get all this bits out of your ears. Oh, dude.

277
00:18:31,000 --> 00:18:34,920
Go play to tip it in. Is there like foam actually like holding up? Oh wow, these are really uncomfortable.

278
00:18:34,920 --> 00:18:38,200
No, come on. I can't get my ear to unfold.

279
00:18:38,200 --> 00:18:42,080
There we go. I gotta pull it through there. Hey, butt, butt.

280
00:18:43,520 --> 00:18:46,760
Just like the commercials. It's gonna hurt you. He's gonna hurt us.

281
00:18:46,760 --> 00:18:49,800
This thing ain't real good though. That's a heckin' USB cable.

282
00:18:49,800 --> 00:18:53,680
Yeah, I could make a better one. True spent cables. So, lttstore.com.

283
00:18:53,680 --> 00:18:57,640
Can you have them be in stock? You visit us once a year.

284
00:18:57,640 --> 00:19:01,480
I paid my own way. You walk up and you're just like, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh.

285
00:19:01,480 --> 00:19:04,920
Whoa, it's got a carrying case. No, I think this is a CD wallet. It's gotta be.

286
00:19:04,920 --> 00:19:07,920
No. I mean, this is when having a CD player was normal.

287
00:19:07,920 --> 00:19:12,200
Not only that, but I would imagine part of the reason that they would go with a form factor like this

288
00:19:12,200 --> 00:19:15,760
was that like my snowboarding jacket, for instance,

289
00:19:15,760 --> 00:19:20,200
I noticed it had been a while since I upgraded because I went to stash my gloves somewhere

290
00:19:20,200 --> 00:19:25,240
and I went, oh, I have a discman pocket. Does it have like a headphone out?

291
00:19:25,240 --> 00:19:31,240
Yeah, that's like. Whoa, dude. Back when they used to put durable ports on things.

292
00:19:31,240 --> 00:19:36,040
Got that big chunky B, if you know what I'm saying. Man, this thing is full of inputs.

293
00:19:36,040 --> 00:19:39,280
You weren't kidding. Volume control over here, headphone jack.

294
00:19:39,280 --> 00:19:42,680
And then you've got two line outs and a line in.

295
00:19:42,680 --> 00:19:46,680
So you could use it as like a desktop DAC? It seems like that's an idea.

296
00:19:46,680 --> 00:19:50,520
Or a something. Is this an IR receiver?

297
00:19:50,520 --> 00:19:54,120
Yeah. So if you had an older tape deck,

298
00:19:54,120 --> 00:19:58,240
or if you had an amplifier, you could literally hook this thing up

299
00:19:58,240 --> 00:20:01,320
and then you'd have a remote interface to play MP3s

300
00:20:01,320 --> 00:20:04,480
on your home stereo setup. I didn't think of that. I didn't.

301
00:20:04,480 --> 00:20:08,040
Yeah, well, you're not as old as me. I'm 36 now. Yeah, that's not as old as me.

302
00:20:08,040 --> 00:20:11,960
Oh, okay. Well, you're aging wonderfully then. It's all the infant blood that I consume.

303
00:20:11,960 --> 00:20:16,880
And other things that won't make the cut. It comes with two sets of batteries.

304
00:20:16,880 --> 00:20:19,920
That's eight hours of listening. Wow. It is too.

305
00:20:19,920 --> 00:20:24,120
I mean, we've got to try it, right? Yeah. I can't believe creative still exists.

306
00:20:24,120 --> 00:20:29,200
What do they even make now? I have a Sound Blaster card in my PC. I bet you bought it years and years and years ago.

307
00:20:29,200 --> 00:20:32,800
Months ago. Really? You just bought a sound card? Yeah, yeah, yeah.

308
00:20:32,800 --> 00:20:37,120
I realize who I'm talking to. So this is gonna maybe come across a little bit.

309
00:20:37,120 --> 00:20:40,360
You are aware of USB DACs, right? Yeah.

310
00:20:40,360 --> 00:20:43,720
Yeah, okay. PCIe is cool. And you have to rip your PC apart to get in there?

311
00:20:43,720 --> 00:20:47,160
It's fun. Okay. Install all of it. It's not my computer.

312
00:20:47,160 --> 00:20:51,200
Blow it up. Just hit okay. I don't want the jukebox tutorial. You're gonna need to sync this or something.

313
00:20:51,200 --> 00:20:55,400
Register now to enjoy a host of benefits. Quick, do it. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

314
00:20:55,400 --> 00:20:59,000
Use only creative nickel metal hydride batteries.

315
00:20:59,000 --> 00:20:59,840
No.

316
00:21:02,240 --> 00:21:08,240
Yeah, this dude loves 3D. What are you guys talking? You know, these are not sound isolating at all.

317
00:21:08,240 --> 00:21:11,640
Crap. What about 3D? 3D music videos.

318
00:21:11,640 --> 00:21:16,080
Oh yeah, what was your first music play? My first music player was a Discman,

319
00:21:16,080 --> 00:21:19,520
obviously, because I'm older than you, but my first, I also had a Discman.

320
00:21:19,520 --> 00:21:23,160
My first MP3 player though was actually an RCA Lyra.

321
00:21:23,160 --> 00:21:26,800
And I sprung for the 64 megabyte model

322
00:21:26,800 --> 00:21:29,840
because the 16 one was like comically small.

323
00:21:29,840 --> 00:21:33,440
It existed only so that they could say it started at $99

324
00:21:33,440 --> 00:21:37,040
or whatever the pricing was. You wanted the, at least the 32,

325
00:21:37,040 --> 00:21:41,120
but you wanted the 64 megabyte model. And I'm not misspeaking.

326
00:21:41,160 --> 00:21:44,800
Megabytes, 15 songs. But hey, that was an album.

327
00:21:44,800 --> 00:21:49,000
And it didn't skip. It didn't skip. It didn't skip. I remember this actually sounding really good.

328
00:21:49,000 --> 00:21:53,000
It's meant to be like beyond CD quality sort of thing. Yeah, do you remember using these?

329
00:21:53,000 --> 00:21:56,000
No. Whoa, that's actually 3D rendered there.

330
00:21:56,000 --> 00:22:00,920
It's a tutorial. I'm turning this beast on. But you're not using the official creative batsman.

331
00:22:02,080 --> 00:22:07,080
I'm sorry, it's yours, it's yours. Wait, they want you to charge the batteries in the device.

332
00:22:07,080 --> 00:22:10,320
Oh, it's the charger as well. Before first use, charge the batteries continuously

333
00:22:10,360 --> 00:22:13,360
for 12 hours, ensure the unit is powered off during the first charge.

334
00:22:13,360 --> 00:22:17,880
But I've seen devices before that just will not turn on

335
00:22:17,880 --> 00:22:20,960
unless they've been plugged in. It's more of a new paradigm, but.

336
00:22:21,880 --> 00:22:26,040
Uh-oh. Where's yours? So we can just fire one up and have it work.

337
00:22:26,040 --> 00:22:30,200
So we can actually look at it. Nice gift, huh? That's yours. Okay, hold on, hold on.

338
00:22:30,200 --> 00:22:33,280
Maybe I just, maybe I put these in wrong. Maybe I put them in wrong. I did.

339
00:22:33,280 --> 00:22:37,320
I did. No way. That's embarrassing. Hate for that to be in a video.

340
00:22:37,320 --> 00:22:40,560
No, I'm not even embarrassed. Okay, look at this.

341
00:22:40,560 --> 00:22:43,720
Okay, which side's negative? Oh no, I see what's happened. Okay.

342
00:22:43,720 --> 00:22:46,920
Xbox controllers. They flip, but the springy bit doesn't.

343
00:22:46,920 --> 00:22:53,360
That's. That's maniacal. I've never seen a spring not be the negative terminal.

344
00:22:53,360 --> 00:22:56,880
Okay, no, it's gotta be. This is actually devastating.

345
00:22:56,880 --> 00:23:02,000
I was really pumped about this being brand. Cause like, this would actually be fun to have on the desk

346
00:23:02,000 --> 00:23:06,240
and it actually uses a music player cause they sound good and it lives on a desk

347
00:23:06,240 --> 00:23:09,560
and it's fucked. You found the other one, it's dead too.

348
00:23:09,560 --> 00:23:13,160
We must be doing something wrong. Yeah, that's it. I remember it being annoying to get going.

349
00:23:13,160 --> 00:23:16,320
You hold the play button for two seconds. Held it for four seconds.

350
00:23:16,320 --> 00:23:19,920
Did you put the creative batteries in here now? I did. Let's plug it in.

351
00:23:19,920 --> 00:23:23,200
Let's see if the computer detects it. This is everything that's included on it.

352
00:23:23,200 --> 00:23:26,480
You get several albums of classical music.

353
00:23:26,480 --> 00:23:29,720
Probably cause it's free license and no one's copyrighting it anymore.

354
00:23:29,720 --> 00:23:34,560
And lots of jazz music. So maybe it was just all the stock music on it.

355
00:23:34,560 --> 00:23:38,840
Several contemporary songs. Ray Gunn, isn't that the Australian breakdowns it?

356
00:23:38,840 --> 00:23:42,200
You get the entirety of Frankenstein on audio book.

357
00:23:42,200 --> 00:23:46,600
No, no, don't. It's copyright or something. Huh. One last thing I want to try.

358
00:23:46,600 --> 00:23:50,440
Oh, hey, I have a gift for you too actually. This is a lot more expensive than it looks.

359
00:23:50,440 --> 00:23:54,360
This protects you from the 5G. I can feel my DNA being cured with every second.

360
00:23:54,360 --> 00:23:57,400
Yeah. This is excellent. If you just want to like ironically put that

361
00:23:57,400 --> 00:24:00,760
on your stuff for a little bit, I guarantee you that people will notice

362
00:24:00,760 --> 00:24:05,280
and they'll comment. Cause this is like the brand name one. Are they comments that I want?

363
00:24:05,280 --> 00:24:08,760
I don't know, they'll maybe be funny. Well, thanks. You're welcome.

364
00:24:08,760 --> 00:24:11,560
One inanimate object to another. So.

365
00:24:12,880 --> 00:24:16,960
Remember this thing you didn't have in your childhood? You still don't have it now.

366
00:24:16,960 --> 00:24:21,040
That's not a conclusion to a video. I don't know what is. What's been an honor to waste your time?

367
00:24:21,040 --> 00:24:25,320
Thanks, Ray. Well, thanks for protecting me.

368
00:24:25,320 --> 00:24:29,400
You're welcome. I feel better with every second it passes. And thanks to you for watching this video.

369
00:24:29,400 --> 00:24:34,360
If you enjoyed this video, why don't you check out the last time Dank Pots was here and we looked at audio snake oil.

370
00:24:34,360 --> 00:24:39,400
Yeah. Yeah. The difference was that stuff didn't do anything.

371
00:24:40,920 --> 00:24:41,760
Hey.
