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.

The memory is corrupt, that's why it won't load.

Do you mean volatile or non-volatile memory (ie. is it theoretically possible to recover the data)?
