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.

Might have a file system your OS can’t handle, there was some proprietary shenanigans back then or its memory is just toast.

Those are usually just FATs. The left cap pops off and exposes a USB port. The player itself shows up as a thumb drive.

My favorite thing to download from Limewire was Limewire Pro.

Pro tip: rub the plastic with corn starch to get rid of the sticky residue

It’s in landfill now but good to know with dealing with items with old nasty rubber

That shit had a comeback the last couple of years, it feels really premium, until it doesn’t.

Just a coincidence
