Back in the late 2000s-early 2010s, I was gifted my first MP3 player to listen to music. Since it was a cheaper option for my parents to buy at the time. I do not remember the model it was unfortunately, but it was small and it was colored black. It was as big as half an iPod (5th generation, look up iPod fifth generation and cut it in half, that's how big the MP3 player was). It could've been one of the Coby mp3 player models, but so far my searches on that have turned up nothing. I do own a Coby mp3 player, but it's bigger than this one and blue. It's still in my possession. But anyways, back to my first one.
I remember very specifically this player had a couple of videos preloaded onto it. Forgive me, this is where my memory gets a bit hazy. I may be misremembering some facts, as it's been a long time.
I don't remember the title of the first video file, but it was a music video. It was a music video for a band, I assume based in...Spain? The language used sounded like it's from South America/Spain/Mexico (one of these). I have no clue on what the lyrics could've been, but I still vaguely remember parts of the music video. I think one of the scenes was of the main singer, a guy, in the shower. I remember him doing a small punch to the shower wall as he sang. Towards the end of the video, I remember a dance off scene with the band and backup dancers. The melody of the song is quite difficult for me to describe, but I remember a prominent "bum bum bum" instrument part. It would go like: {bum bum bum} [singer will sing a lyric] {bum bum bum}. That's pretty much all I remember.
The last video file I remembered was the same band in what looked to be a behind-the-scenes sorta thing. This was probably where their names and band name would've been shown, but I can't even recall what their names could've been. It was all in a different language, and it left younger me confused as hell. Honestly, to this day, I still wonder what the hell these videos were doing on there. Is random media being on MP3 players a trend?
I have been trying to find this mp3 player, but sadly, I've been unable to track it down. It's frustrating, I just want this mystery solved, and I don't even know if I still even have it. I really hope my parents didn't toss it away or anything, I'll be pissed. Last time I used it, it still was working and functional. If anyone can help me, I'd appreciate it!
And Spain I see, that would be frustrating if you have no idea where the MP3 player is, if it's even still functional, or if you could actually upload anything with it. I do hope it turns up anyway. That same family I mentioned earlier used to play random burned CDs from some older family members and I still haven't tracked down a certain song from their collection, since the lyrics I do type in could be from any number of songs (I have long lost contact with that family, and it would feel weird to just randomly message them about a song on a random burned CD from like 2006 haha)
And just out of curiosity, how did you download music videos on a MP3 player? Do you remember where you downloaded it from (website?), or was it like a direct download on the MP3 player itself with some type of internet thing? We only did basic music downloads from actual digital CD purchases for our Ipods. Hopefully some other MP3 player owners can chime in too.
