Back in the day it was generally way better to have seperate power and data cables. Most companies hadn't really dialed down the whole "charging and data transfer at the same time" thing, and so the cables would sometimes only charge or only transfer data, which was a bit annyoying.
Holy crap! I used to have one like that Gateway, except it wasn't Gateway branded it was..... something else. It also had brutally small memory, I think 32 or 64 megs, I literally struggled to fit a CD on it at the worst bitrate ever. Mono sound, the works anything I could do to cram a few more songs on there for the bus ride home. Used it for a bit to bring documents to and from school, worked as a USB flash drive, was super basic to put songs onto no special software at the time (which as you've noticed was a whole thing). It really is unfortunate it had such a tiny amount of storage, it worked good and the battery life was pretty decent if I recall. So excited to see a nugget from my childhood lol.
3:38 Ooooh the Creative Zen Vision W. I had one and it was my daily driver during my late teens, a 30GB model. The ill-fated "PMP" phase of the industry. Btw a PSP charger will fit in the DC 5V port on the right side.
Loved my Dell DJ. Could sync with the Napster subscription service. It was awesome. Had to plug it into the computer every 30 days to refresh the Napster song licenses though. Or just put regular mp3s on there.
The big nuggets definetely need an external supply, but those are HDD players, which means the internal disc could hold some treasures. but the power from old usb is not enough.
The dell DJ would actually charge over USB as long as you didn't let it get below a certain charge level. I still have mine, and the battery is surprisingly resilient.
At least that dell mp3 player had the barrel jack on the side. Imagine buying a creative mp3 player that charges through a barrel jack but on the sync cable.
I mean, yeah having two cables lying around sucks. But at least they are two widely used adapters. Mini-USB wasn't good enough (yet) to carry the required power, and it was probably cheaper to use the stock of wallpower cables and normal data USB cables. The other option was to have a propriatery dingus, like ESPECIALLY Apple was using, turning those nuggets into landfill more quickly.
I don't know why you consider Dell "late to the party". They released an MP3 player in 2004: between the iPod 3rd and 4th generation, beating the iPod Nano to market and coming in just after the iPod Mini.
Cop joke. A guy was speeding in a Corvette and just crossing over a bridge when he passed a billboard at the end of it. Behind the billboard was a cop on a motorcycle with a radar gun. Soon the cop got behind the Corvette and pulled it over. The cop then walked up to the driver's side window and asked the driver where he was going so fast. The driver said "to the rectum stretcher" The cop asked "the rectum stretcher"? What the hell is that? The driver said the rectum stretcher puts you face down on a table and stretches you asshole out to six feet. The cop asks horrified "what the hell would you want a six foot asshole for? The driver says: "To put at the end of a bridge on a motorcycle behind a billboard with a radar gun" I'll see myself out now...
Those early jukeboxes are all going to be using 2.5" laptop hard drives, and a single USB cable doesn't start providing enough power to spin up a 2.5" hard drive until you get to the USB 3 ones with the carbuncle on the device end.
If you haven't reviewed one already, keep an eye out for the Creative Nomad MuVo NX. It's in the same USB stick form factor as the gateway nugget you had there
XClef, the Creative, Dell: NEVER they had charging over USB cause not even then, HAD ANY ability to charge as that was a rarity. they needed huge amps. charge and sync cables was a Apple thing that was then made standard. it was either Battery (which most of the big Jukeboxes before the iPod came used) or you were locked to a wall.
Bro.. you really should had put more effort into powering these on lmao. Just get an universal brick that has a voltage selector and multiple circular connectors if you have to
@@beardsntoolsI don’t disagree with you. Either way it’s just a fun little show he does. He never really goes in depth in anything, especially in recent years.
@@WooferCooker Yeah but these videos were sold to people... it was a perk for paying monthly at least a dollar. So yeah it would be more satisfying to actually see an attempt to be made to get these to work.
Whosever's nugget that was at 2:08 likely had Windows 7 on their PC. "Kalimba" was one of the Windows 7 sample songs.
The best song of all time
They also were interested in ghost rider apparently since they has the trailer
I never understood why they added that to Windows, but man I loved that song as a kid on my first laptop
NT 6 preloaded music
Kalimba is the music pre-installed with old windows versions!
Like windows vista and 7
Yeah and it’s an absolute banger, beaten only by the „buddy holly“-video
Neat! I always remember having the song, yet never downloading it. Thanks for finally making sense of kalimba
Depends on what you call old. It wasn't on XP. XP had a David Byrne song.
@@Gatorade69 That’s not wrong at all for sure
Dankpods feels like a SCP locked in a room bound to test MP3 players and i love every part of it.
And somehow the scientists let the SCP Creature own a pet dog that is somehow very long, has no legs, doesn't bark, and stinks!
Someone needs to write one like this
@@robertsteel3563 The scientists even let him give it a name ! How kind of them.
He’s just a floating pair of hands. Quite interesting
Sometimes he is allowed out to have a drum session, only on good Behaviour though
I’m going to assume the Hitachi nugget has a silent vibration function for when the player is muted.
They make way more than just those things
We love kalimba. It used to come with windows vista
Also came with Windows 7!
They are coming out so quickly! I'm trying to watch them all! Thank you Wade!

Those might have worked if you plugged a barrel plug AC adapter into it.
The required voltage and amps should be on the back somewhere.
You can even get USB to DC 5V barrel jack cables, they'll work fine since you'll practically never find something that wants more than 2A
@@ngwoo yeah but if it uses 9v or 12v or whatever, then it won't work.

I'm pretty sure that Creative Xclef chungus had an awesome dock-station, with having that wide output!!
The Xclef, I had one of those as a kid, it was great; it had 20gb capacity and a beautiful blue backlit LCD screen.
Loved my Dell DJ. Could sync with the Napster subscription service. It was awesome. Had to plug it into the computer every 30 days to refresh the Napster song licenses though. Or just put regular mp3s on there.
Some things never really change
Those dell nuggets are my favorite, so old-school and calculator-like. I wonder if rockbox could get ported to it.
The big nuggets definetely need an external supply, but those are HDD players, which means the internal disc could hold some treasures.
but the power from old usb is not enough.
2:10 That was my favorite song, dank why did you do this 😭😭😭

Its 1 in the morning in america
DankPods: New Video
Me: Eh why not
Funny enough - I bought one of the Dell players used with no charger and a first-gen PSP charger will work with it!
I wanna see videos on repairing the other 3 they're way to interesting to junk
Lmaooooo kalimba by ninja tuna is a banger 😂😂😂😂😂
Love your content Dankpods! Your videos and personality never ceases to bring a big dumb grin to my face. :)
You could build houses with that Xclef
I had the Dell MP3 player and honestly it was pretty decent
Zen vision W, that was my nugget and unfortunately it got stolen.. I miss it
2:12 lmao thats one of the default windows 7 media player songs
2:17 going back to 2009...

Wait, another aftershow??
0:48 M-M-MSC... MS-MSC
Another happy new year
Bo bo boooo 😂 1:43 1:45
happy new year
Kalimba came with windows 7
it was probably copied onto it using windows7 with messed up dates
I had that dell jukebox as a kid. It wasn't terrible for what it was.
iPod was still better tho lmao
Dank
48 seconds! Never been this early before.
Typical Frank
2:16 WINDOWS 7
Hitachi makes projectors my school has them
