After Show: The Russian iRiver

I had one of these H340s. It was legitimately a ipod killer at the time features wise.

Sean Rankin

I joined the Patreon just to see the iRiver in action. I had the same one and used for many years. Too many years. I think the 4th gen Shuffle was out by the time I replaced it.

Amos Evans

iRiver or as they say in Russia мнеРека

You need to find an iRiver Clix really curious what your thoughts on it, I had gen 1 and gen 2 in like 2007 ish and loved them really curious if you could even find one now

I actually like how the Windows Media Player UI looks What's the nugget called?

I saw Mike Stern live at a Jazz Festival :D I arrived late to his set, only caught the last 15-ish minutes

hey! Привет)

In case you were wondering, "muzon" (музон, pronounced "moo zone") is basically a 90's/2000's slang word for "music" (музыка)

Shame about the Archos “gmini” (most ironically named nugget), had one of those chonkster mamma-jammas ... until I dropped it in a basin full of water

The iriver T10 was my first ever MP3 player! It was awkward as hell to use, but I loved it.

Please toss me some cool jazz artists to listen to mate, I've got more from this video than browsing youtube for the past year. cheers

That Creative thing with Windows looks like it would be cool, what's the name of it?

navi? LAIN NUGGET?

Музон (Muzon) is Russian slang for music

I got to know some artist to listen to, thanks!

My Iriver H320 was my favourite thing. Two headphone outs for nerdy couples, and an input I used for my stereo mics for great recordings. Before the iPod Nanos had Voiceover, the H100 and 300 series, and the 80 G iPod classic, were the go to players for blind people because Rockbox could provide speech feedback. When its hard drive died a few years ago I let it go. Now I severely regret that decision. Nothing these days can bludgeon so effectively.

I had an iRiver E100 when they first came out, it was way better than the second gen iPod nano I wanted at the time. Bought it from JB Hi-fi for $250

Can you hook me up with a Russian currency

When you showed that european plug and said: "I dont have an adapter for THIS" I didnt' get it because thats the plug we have here in Germany.

MG

I get a lot of packages from Russia because I have connections. So I get a lot of cool stamps.

I remember my dad having an Archos portable video player prob around 2005/2006 it was an absolute chonkster but it worked so good for watching films on long car journeys!

Sad the Archos 402 didn't work. I owned one growing up and I loved that thing. You could mod it to run Doom and NES games.

warpvi

Geeghus. My friend had that iRiver thingy. And it was sold as "iPod killer"

that archos gmini 120 you showed for a bit you said you don't know the voltage it's 5 volts positive tip

iRiver.. never heard of them.

My mom actually had an iRiver! She loved it, used it for around 7 years! First time I heard Third Eye Blind was on my mom's iRiver 😄

H340 was the fuckin jam back in the day, I really had no business spending so much on it but looking back I got so much use out of it that it was totally worth it

I miss my busted Creative Zen so much! still have the charger tho. Maybe ill pick one of these up just to give it a 2nd life

sorry that was me

Delek Turner

My friend had a Iriver just like that one... And I had a Creative Zen PMD... 😂 WOW! Good times!

Woooo its windows xp and then ew.. 🤣

RonDons do not deserve any kind of respect

When I was 15 I had a gigabeat and my friend had an iriver and we were the coolest dorks in the classroom 😎.

i spy herbie handok in the white player.. why didnt you play that.. whyyy.... ahahah

I had multiple Iriver players growing up, really cool. I took a look at Gigabeat on ebay and damn those seem to be expensive!

Wolf3d

i wanna meet the man who fills a toshiba gigabeat with jazz

Old school iRivers were awesome players tbh. Toshiba Gigabeats feel cursed with their proto-Zune layouts.

Музон :D

As far as I'm aware (I have YT Premium so I can't verify) he doesn't want to put ads in his videos meaning that patreon is his only income from content creating. Putting these on a youtube channel (even a second channel) would mean that he would have to put ads on them or not make an income at all

Oooooo its windows xp... and then ew 🤣😂

I think the voltage actually matters on the power adapter. Those others might work with a multi-voltage adapter.

Hi Jeff

Lily Shults

My name Jeff

have you every played with the Now Video Color

from Russia, with... stamps

I could feel it.

Well I hope you mean borrow for a long time and it coming back ruined. He has bad luck with postage.

You seemed really jazzed about that

I have an "old" iriver that I can lend you for a vid :)

I've stumbled across your vids in the last week or so and became a patron today just to check out the iRiver video. I cracked up watching you try and figure out the controls 🤣 I've got a mint H340 (with the box/accessories) that I just replaced the battery in earlier this year with the dual-boot into Rockbox firmware. Used it heaps during ~2005-2010 but since then kinda been sitting in its box in my office 😐 They also play video IF you encode into the right format 😉

Does it hurt your stats to host these private Patreon videos on your main Youtube account? I'm guessing these videos have a lower number of watches and I've noticed a few other Youtubers I follow separate their channels. For example the YouTuber "The Retro Future" aka Elliot Coll has another account for mods videos that don't get as much views. I know the YT algorithm is tricky and maybe there is other reasons these Youtubers do it, but thought it might be interesting to look into.

Ricky C

find some hit-clips mp3 players

nug

Every time I use the Mojo I try to blow them up, that's max volume

I got a stash of stuff here for future vids ✌️

$10 tier sorry!

cheers!

Doesn't work well when the video is 70GB in size

They made some real high end stuff towards the end of the media player wars, real cool stuff

what an ugly nugget

I had the iRiver T60 back in 08, a triangular prism kinda deal that ran off AAAs, prolly only 1 or 2gb, loved that thing, found it at JB HiFi, surprised you hadn’t seen many in Aus but I guess it’s been a while.

James T

I used that exact model iriver in that exact case all through undergrad, amazing little guy.

An iriver was my first player ever in 4th grade. My dad refused to get me an iPod and told me it was essentially the same thing hahaha

Another stunner, looking forward to that xp box.

The Ferret

Those Gigabeats had just the absolute worst interface. It looks neat, and you can definitely tell where the Zune got it's inspiration, but it's animation heavy, kinda slow, and just clunky. They also took FOREVER to boot if you loaded the hard drive with music. My friend loaded their 30gb and it literally took 2-3 minutes just to boot WM

takeyourbestscott

iRiver were hooooge in the UK

That's the least amount of stamps I've ever seen on anything shipped from Russia

MagnaLynx21

you absolutely have to open a museum, with your collection of all those odd music players...

Wolkenloch

Hi

da armage

ha Amazon more like a MUZON

holly cow, i actually owned one of these stinky iRivers. the noisiest dac i’ve ever listened to. btw “muzon” means “music”, but it’s 90’s slang)

actually, i really liked that windows xp mobile interface

i would love a teardown of some of these would make more content and be fun

yeeeeee

I might have a couple nuggets that I wouldn't mind passing on to a new owner

Just discovered ur channel last week and im totally loved it! And this is even my first time using patreon lol. Would happily supporting more in the future, keep going !!

MUZON

Your house has more nuggets than McDonalds 😷 I got a couple old nuggets I no longer use, and I think they deserve a good home. Can I send them on to you?

How funny that you do a video on the iRiver, I remember my best friend back in middle school (~2005) having that same iRiver, or a model very, very close to it, and something made me think of it recently I always thought it was cool when I was younger

Fun Fact: iRiver owns and makes the Astell&Kern players

Yo, cool stuff! By the way, "Muzon" (pronounced moo-zone, with stressed second syllable) is a Russan slang worg for "music"

Bruh, muzon is like russian slang word for music

If you need a US shipping address for someone to forward you mail shoot me a DM, I swear on Shrek I won't steal any of your packages. Just want to help you make content!

just so you know, those circular connectors are polarized so its possible that it was just the wrong connector for the device and some of those may work with other connectors. however if thats the case its entirely possible that you fried everything in there by plugging them in, soo...

You’ve gotta get your hands on the iPod classic camera

Volts are probably right , just not enough amperage from that power brick

"Really cool design under the plastic" - I honestly thought it looked like it had been splashed with water and let dry haha

Spent my first dollarydoo today

Can't wait to go to Poland so I can order one for cheap

Did literally every single nugget use the same charger and voltage?

Mr. Dutchak

The thing I will always associate iRiver with is the hipsters at my college who constantly talked about how much better they were than iPods when I bought my 5th gen.

Karen Sykora

It’s nock off clickwheel glows blue and physically spins 😂

Pleaseeee find a Sandisk Sansa e280 MP3player that old relic will take me back, I’ve found a few in eBay but they are located in the US

It’s crazy to think that there was a time when people bought these things. Whoever says that the early 2000’s were a lawless wasteland are completely right haha! Great little bonus video

Another great video!

Yesssss. I had the iRiver h320, this guys baby brother with only 20GB storage. Learned so much about video formats and converting to play on the very specific requirements that this thing takes.

Hey Dankpods I'm writing you again in hopes that you will soon take the Mojo and blow up a pair of jankphones for us to listen to, please, I really want to see it happen.

My uncle owns an iRiver :)

I must have been the only Aussie to own an iriver. I kind of miss my old E100 now.

Hey! A Gigabeat! I used an older version (pre windows) of a gigabeat from high school through college. I remember wanting an iriver, but I don't remember why.... Sadly I got rid of the gigabeat when I moved after college. Stupid decision.

innkeeper77

Just got some of the airpods pro after getting scamed off the recons. And holy crap there so good.

i love the absolute disrespect for the beans. just one left and it’s in the pit of despair with the dirty raycon

monica morton

From Russia, with love. 😂

Man the memories of old creative MP3 players. Before I could afford a iPod lol. I remember owning a zune HD and loving it. To bad it died :(

Ahh, sweet sweet Russian Post. I hate it so much.. Btw "Muzon (Музон)" is just "music" in street slang.

Stepan Dolgopolov

Cause when I think of quaility, i think of ex-soviet union

I have a working iRiver H10, in the states.

Someone PLEASE send him a working Portable Media Center (the black creative) as fan mail when the pandemic ends!

Ah man I was gonna ask you about sound blaster/creative stuff

coolmedina117

I was really hoping to see that Creative player turn on, kinda sad it didn't. I used to have a Creative Zen Jukebox xTra. Was the best PMP I had until I accidently killed it.

Hey please put me in the credits I've been a donator for 2 months still not there

Damn that Toshiba has a really fire library 🔥🔥

Gotta love the nuggets lol

TH3mrBROWN

oough i WISH that creative one worked i LOVE seeing old windows mobile devices like that

(US here) iRiver made probably the best flash based mp3 players back before Nanos existed. I had an IFP-390T that served me very well... it was an ugly nugget and the UI was clunky, but a single battery got you 20+ hours of play, functioned as USB mass storage, had an actually decent quality voice recorder, and you could encode mp3s from either a line in jack or directly through the FM tuner. very cool for 2003

Evan Jones

Mate i've been loving the vids, discovered your chanel a couple weeks ago and i cant stop watching. Congrats on 6000 patrons, well deserved!

Peer

A Russian iRiver? Looks a bit Volga to me.

If you need to move video off an iPad in the future try saving it to files in the google chrome folder or whatever app you have that is recognised by iTunes in file sharing. I had to do this the other day to get a zip folder off and god it was painful to work out

That creative one looks like a portable game emulator

RUSTIC

those are total nuggets for sure

doomsday smoothie

Friday is Double Dank day! :D

BREAKING: Local Aussie begins to realize his house is, in fact, full of trash

Kevin Herviou

Regarding the other video, did you try plugging in with USB and importing the long video in Photos or the Finder? You might be the only person that has tried to AirDrop an 11 hour video haha.

Charles Petrosky

the video you did on the bootleg ipods 3 weeks ago was fun to watch, I used to have one of those when I was around 8-9 and I found it again a couple years ago and the inside of mine looked exactly the same as one of the ones you opened lol the camera was so bad

I legit had that archos with the camera when I was a kid! Pretty sure it has a hell good brick break on itn

Only a real giga chad can use the giga beat

Love a good nugget! I don't think you've had any luck with Archos stuff :P

Haydon Beagley

Archos is not a good brand to go with it seems! Lol.

1-Grit Stress Ball!

Love the new vid mate luckiest find yet

Flashing back to about 2005 seeing this kind of stuff fill up the shelves at Wal-mart and random junk shops at the malls. I think I had a blue iRiver CD player for maybe a year before I got my first iPod (a green 4GB mini).

Charles Petrosky

I just became a patron and this is my first episode of the after show. Cheers!

Oh HELL YEAH. This is going to be awesome!
