I have one almost exactly like that (different brand, but looks exactly the same besides that). Would anyone know how to recover data from it (some text files, and potentially some recordings made with the built-in microphone)? Whenever I plug it into a computer the loading screen comes up on the player but nothing happens (computer can't mount it), and turning it on also just gets me to the loading screen where it stays without moving forward.

The other day while starting pack we came across my old iPod mini, with the blue aluminum shell. Guess who's getting a flash drive and new firmware!?

My favorite thing to download from Limewire was Limewire Pro.

LimeWire was terrible. Quickly switched to Soulseek and have been using it ever since. Actually Nicotine+, but that's besides the point.

Kazaa was my go-to back in the day.

Soulseek was Amazing. What was cool is you could chat with people. I met a "Girl" from Israël and she made me discover a lot of cool rap bands like CunninLynguists. It was fun.

By the time I got an Mp3 player like this, the second generation iPod released soon after. 😬

It's better than ipad anyway. You just stick it in to load music onto it, you don't need iTunes or a cable, and it's nore compact too. I miss those simple devices.

I remember way back in the day helping a friend back up their stuff. I never had used an iPod before and plugged theirs in to their computer expecting to be able to just use the file browser to get to it, like common sense would dictate. That's the day I discovered Apple doesn't really do common sense.

Audio Satellite was the best.
