I just wanna let you know that I showed my fiancé this, and he did not get it at all…but every time I’m sad, one of his first suggestions is “do you want us to watch the nugget man?”…I just wanna let you know that you brighten my day, and that you’re now known as the nugget man.
I had one of these in high school! I loved it. For what it's worth the screen was actually pretty bright when it was new, but early OLED systems really rotted away with time. The speakers were also a bit louder back then, I think resistance might have built up in the connection, too.
@@DibIrken thanks! Yeah in 2007 this thing was pretty dang cool. Also the pricing on that tag is sort of wild, I think it was about $150USD, so it was closer to a Nano, but with the speakers added it was considered an alright deal.
Might also be that the bass was on bass boost, and because small speakers like this cannot produce any meaningful bass, the amount of mids and highs were adversely affected as well. I'd have tried this on the normal setting...
I would have loved this back in '06/'07. Futuristic looking, bulky so my fat fingers are at home, and in the dark of a shared room like a dorm, this would have been perfect!
That plug was actually used by many phones in Korea. Pretty much was micro usb back in the days. Proprietary outside of Korea, universal in Korea at that time. Easier to find places to charge them in service areas and cafes in Korea in 2000s.
I remember that I had 24-pin connector accessories and chargers that worked flawlessly between my (at that time dying) Samsung clamshell and my LG343i, and between that and another Samsung that was a screaming fortune because was one of the first using 3G. Only thing not working was the headphones, as the Samsung used a 180k resistance on pin 15 and so incompatible with LG phones.
oh my god, I never thought I would see this nugget. when I was in high school a friend had one and that speaker was the most revolutionary thing EVER. he eventually passed it down to me and I lost it. a few years ago I found one at a swap meet for 25 bucks but at the time it seemed like too much so I passed on it. regretted passing on it and last year I paid 50 bucks for one on ebay. this nug has a very special place in my heart and its cool seeing it get its very own video.
The reason it didn't show up on the mac is the device probably uses mtp to connect (it said mtp connected at first) macOS doesn't have native mtp support. Google has it's own program called Android file transfer (since android uses mtp to connect) but it works with pretty much all mtp devices. I used it to put files to my Windows Phone.
Android File Transfer is frankly terrible, luckily there are much better alternatives now like OpenMTP which actually transfers files faster than the native MTP implementation on Windows
I think the one you got was particularly well worn. I had one of these and never had issues with the brightness. or the volume. i recall it being pretty loud.
I've still got mine. I've tried to disassemble it to service the battery, but it's not very service-friendly. I also dropped it and killed the red channel on the screen, which is almost entirely unnoticed because the entire UI is blue and white. Like, you have to open a photo to see red pixels. But yeah, it's loud enough to listen in a quiet room. I mostly used mine in the kitchen while cooking. Not as loud as any decent BT speaker, but louder than the average phone.
i love how the selection of beethoven and queen, along with the bass boost being turned on, shows you exactly how old the user was when they last used it.
'imagine mp3reedom' is kinda cute tbh and honestly, i wouldn't be complaining about the thickness: i lost my nano in a clothing store and didn't even notice until I got home. I feel I woulda noticed that brick falling out of my pocket.
I'll never get over his maniacal cackling being drowned out by the massive bass blasting Scarlet Fire from the subwoofers. It's such a classic DankPods moment.
Some media devices use MTP instead of mass storage. To use it on Mac you need to use something like OpenMTP. MTP stands for Media Transfer Protocol iirc and Windows can read it without additional software
I HAD ONE OF THESE!!! I saved for aaaaaages at my terrible part-time department store job and was so excited when it arrived. Fond memories of nuggets long since passed. RIP Samsung K5, you never were the same after that trip through the washing machine.
The slimmer, speaker-less version of this was the K3. I had that for years (until the motherboard died) and loved it to bits. Nearly as thin (I think) as the nano and just cool, slick design.
My sister had a Samsung slide-out nugget, too - its body slid up to reveal the keypad (it was a phone), and down to reveal the speaker and music controls, and it ran on SymbianOS!
I had this !!!! All time most favorite nugget. That screem is dead, it was actually as bright as the buttoms. The speakers was as loud as the top phones, definetily a lot louder, but still it was only two 0.5w speakers. The heaphones were really good tho. The body was huge because it was double shell. It was metal outside and plastic shell inside, so it was bullet-proof you could literally drive over with a car no problem, we used to jump on it and nothing. Only issue with it is that ribbon cable that goes from from main body to battery ( between the speakers ) would easily wear out and break. Most importantly it had an successor, yhe YP-S5 and the biggest feature you could use the mp3 as an external speaker !!!!
Meanwhile, I have a few Chinese FLAC players myself. iPods can only handle up to 24-bits@48khz, and you have to rely on the flash memory inside. HiBy's R2 II supports 32-bits@384khz and DSD256 max (the absolute limit of the ESS 9219c inside), and that needs cards for storage (I presume there's some flash inside for setting storage).
I found a 9 year old phone in our old stuff and now that's my dedicated mp3 player. It only has one speaker so I have to use earbuds/headphones to have a quality experience, but hey, it plays music. The phone projects that the battery can last over 50 hours with the way I use it lol.
I had a generic Samsung nano-ripoff nugget back in the day and the sample video that came on it was an ad for this. I wanted one so bad! “Music Space” was a sample song on a lot of their nugs…takes me way back!
That nug was definitely synced with Windows XP back inthe day, theres the 9th symphony from Beethoven and Highway Blues on there. Absolute Win XP classics.
Man, dank I love ya. So glad I'm here early for a video. You helped me though so many rough patches. You've been making me laugh a long time and some days I really needed one you never failed. Long live the nuggets, peace man. Thanks again.
Same... I just discovered him and an IN a real dark place... Yet, he still gets me to laugh! Thank you, Wade [Dank], for being you, and making these vids! ❤ ❤ ❤
5:30 i remember going to a car show and seeing a lifted Cadillac escalade that had massive bass speakers that shook the rear fenders, all you could hear was the car raddling and not the actual music 😂
This brings me right back to childhood, my uncle had one of these and lent it to me. Back in the day to a kid that was the coolest thing ever to be able to play your music on the speaker. No sure if my standards were really low back then, but I remember it being pretty good 😅
I loved flicking through argos catalogues in the early 2000s there was so much stuff like this i especially remember the mp4 players that mimic i pods that you showed at the start dont realise how quick time moves on ....
You should do a special nugget dip with all those nuggets you have piled up. Get like a big box/bin and leave them in the packages still and just start digging lol
I had one of the other ones, without the speaker but with the same UI and front. Loved it for a long time, it was my saviour on the long commute to uni back in 2007. I think it still exists somewhere in a drawer in my parent's house.
"Oi mate so like this one time I was riding in a taxi and I used my fold out smasnug to start playing some music, but then the driver started screaming. Turns out camping in someone's car overnight and then riding with them isn't how a taxi works. I'm in jail now!"
great video as always!! i got a tattoo of a snake yesterday (because they're one of my favourite animals) and i decided to name her frank after your little gremlin
Oh my god you just brought back so many memories I think I had a later version of this, I used to use this thing to record music off the radio and RU-vid and I think my version had a few games
am i the only one to really like this mp3 concept instead of na-no? like dingus, looks at that fancy ui and foldable speakers! and i love chonky sh!t too, good job smasnug. (i hate the cable tho)
I had one of the thin versions: the YP-K3. No speaker, and therefore really sleek and nice to use. Pulling it out of the drawer now is heartbreaking, because as with yours the screen (which always looked gorgeous), is now dying due to old age. I do know that you do not need special software to use it, you need to put it in 'disk mode' by flipping the power switch while it's connected to the computer or it won't turn up. I never used any software with mine, and I used it for about six years. It even survived a trip into the pool. Great mp3 player.
I really appreciate Nuggets. A couple years ago my Dad got his second Gen iPod stolen, and much like every nugget from that time owned by a teen in 2000s. They also took all his "legally" downloaded music. Makes me sad, knowing that what he had in his deployment in the middle east, was stolen domestically in are own back yard.. I think that's what lead me to become so fascinated with the idea of Nuggets, back before everything and a standard layout. And that the 2000s "future is here" lead the idea of design. Peak creativity and cool looks, also sadly peak ewaste
i wanted one of these SO bad back in the day, this thing had the dopest marketing site entirely done in adobe flash. that said i was also a zune die hard, so maybe my tastes in media players were already off the wall lol
3:20 Nah, that connector isn't proprietary Samsung thing at all. It was called TTA 24-pin and it was standardized charging and data connector for portable devices manufactured by Korean companies.
My friend had one of these in highschool many years ago. I was just thinking about it and here you are already with it. You definitely have all the nuggets
Funny how this Smasnug nugget speaker uses the same slide out mechanism as their mobile phones at the time (all the way up to early android pre-Galaxy phones). It’s like they were both designed in the same division. The 2000s were something.
Oh boy, I'm genuinely surprised to see one of these nuggets again. I still have mine, in very good condition and I love it, although battery is quite sad 😅
i love the smsung one that i got the ui on these really makes it for me. like the fact that each eq setting has its own visualizer is really cool and it wouldve been cool to see in this vid
0:08 I loved that phone, remember when I first brought it, I was on my last two weeks in hospital at the time, after 1 year in a coma and one year in a spinal injuries rehabilitation unit, was first time I left the hospital grounds and first time out wheelchair bound, my mission was to buy a mobile phone as hospital pay phone cost fortune and kept running out of change, I so remember coming back onto my ward so excited to open and set up my new samsung phone, I know 2 years doesn't sound like long time but I was so amazed just how much technology had evolved, cars looked so futuristic, so remember switching this phone on to get my mind blown because the buttons actually lit up and had a colour display 😂 25 years later I'm still wheelchair bound but writing this on my new Samsung Galaxy tab S9 ultra. Apart from the NGage I've always stuck with Samsung and still have pretty much every phone/tablet I've upgraded from and all still work perfectly. Excuse the long rant but thankyou for bringing back good memories Ps can't buy chicken nuggets without thinking about you. Best wishes all way from London buddy.👍
Seeing Beethoven and Marc Seales (composer) gave me intense flashbacks to syncing my mp3 nugget to my grandpa's computer. Those were windows 7 preloaded tracks
This nug has the exact same UI as my Samsung from middle school. It was a slightly larger than the Ipod you showed in the video. Would love to see if you could dig one of those up on a nugget dip video. c:
I didnt have one of these but i did have an iriver E100, which straight up had built-in speakers on the back. Of course it wasn't super thin, but it wasn't a chonkster either. It also had mini USB, you could use it without the bundled software and the storage was expandable. Cost me like $90 in 2008.
I love how clean and responsive the ui is on this, it's smoother than what you see on a lot of cheaper fitness trackers and the like these days, honestly even a bit smoother than my watch 4 when it's on battery saver mode.
I can see the potential for this nug. It was out around the time I was in highschool, and I was constantly going through cheap earbuds as one would always go out after a month or 2 of heavy use, and this, if it were louder and more refine, really could have been a hit. I had a na-no at the time and was often without music when between pairs of $10 earbuds
Now the time has come. So far, I have always found your channel amusing and entertaining, but now with the Samsung player you have also caught me nostalgic. I had a lot of mp3 players but I loved this one. So many times my best friend Open the thing in class and everyone could listen to the music :D. Thanks.
back in the day i had a moto z force, and there was an optional speaker with it that was actually awesome. i bet dank would love to take a peak at that
it's probably a strange comment to leave, but my cat sleeps really well when i leave dankpods vids on autoplay while i work. thanks for the quality content, man (and for helping my cat sleep while she's recovering).
