MP3 Player not working?
 

yet again i turn to the org for another of lifes problems.

right, i changed the battery in my mp3 player, & now its saying.
***no files***

but when i look there is only 40% memory left & if i look at albums they are all still listed ?:confused:

Re: MP3 Player not working?
 

My money is on the fact that the files are in the wrong place.

One of my MP3 players does the same. You can put files anywhere, but if you want to play audio files, they have to be in the Music folder.

My phone is similar in it's fussyness (technical term).

Either that, or they're in the wrong format/bit-rate.

Was it OK before the battery went flat? Could be a system error caused by low voltage - try doing a reset. Dunno how you do cos I don't know which MP3 player you have....

its a matsui 2mb it is only a few months old, gets uesd every day in the gym

Re: MP3 Player not working?
 

Do you mean 2GB? Can't find details of the 2MB one..... Do you have a website address? They might be able to help. Failing that - RTFM - maybe it tells you how to do a reset!

sorry 2 GB

Re: MP3 Player not working?
 

Can you see them on a computer if you hook it up?

Re: MP3 Player not working?
 

Yes

Try this - but don;t blame me if it all ends in tears!

The file is compressed using 7-Zip. Download 7-Zip from http://www.7-zip.org/ to extract the file called FirmwareExtract.exe

I ran it and tried it on my player which contains SDK2.610 2G 2006/08/28 and it extracted the following files:

bootmanager.sb 266KB
usbmsc.sb 5,888KB
stmpsys.sb 256KB
resource.bin 512KB

Alternatively go to http://forums.cnet.com/5208-7595_102...218044&start=0 - but it is a bit of a depressing read! I don't think you bought a very reliable MP3 player!

Re: MP3 Player not working?
 

I'd back your files up on a computer too (if you haven't already) before trying to sort it.. (don't know if that'll help with any copyrite control though)
