Hi.
I recently got an mp3 player and it can play mp4 files. It was going fine when i was putting music on it but then it got to 124 songs and it said 'cannot copy "whatever song it was":the directory or file cannot be created.
So i tried with all the rest of my music and it wouldnt let me which is strange seeing as the memory is 4 GB. Can anyone help me...please??
Thankyou
Sorcha

What am i doing wrong do i need a certain video converter or do i need to do something with the driver cd i got. Please help i need this to be ready to give to my son.

I dont really know what your asking here? When you put mp4 video's on it are you converting them to amv, with the software For those who have problems with the audio on the video i have the puzzle. Change the chip type in programs mp4..... to 0. save when asked that is all. Why the hell the seller cant say that "you know what i'm thinking"

I too have bought one of htese players. I am not having trouble converting files but ran into a problem. On my Win98 machine I need a driver and the CD does not have it on it. It is for some photo software. Any idea on where I can obtain a driver for this generic player?

This link does not work. Neither does going to http://www.mympxplayer.org directly.

here you go

This guide is for you if:



You bought a player larger than 2 GigaBytes capacity from eBay.

You just bought a new player.

You are experiencing Format Errors on newly added music/videos.

You are experiencing frequent Player Restarts (hourglass) when playing certain songs.

Your player duplicates music/video files that you add in.

Your player does not allow you to move/delete files that you have copied in.

If you fit any one of the above (or even all), then this guide is for you.

Why you should format:



Not formatting will only cause you ALOT of trouble in the future.

Not formatting increases the chance of killing your player in future, and you will need to perform Dead Player Recovery

Ensure that what you have bought, is of the actual memory capacity.

If it is a gift for someone, you don't want them to come back to you with the above mentioned problems.


Common Myths regarding this formatting procedure:



You will not lose any firmware/theme related files.

You will not accidentally kill your player whilst doing so.



STEP 1
Back Up All Your Data Before Proceeding! This Guide Will Clear Everything In Your Player's Memory Chip.

Install MP3 Utilities, any version will do. It usually comes on the CD with the player, or you can download version 3.68
Here, or version 4.03 Here, or version 4.05 Here. Any one of these will do. The Disk Tool Utility is the same.


STEP 2
Start up MP3 Utilities Disk Tool.
You will be shown a screen like this:

Ensure that you select LOW Format Type.

Next, go to the Partition and Encrypt tab as shown below.

Now, slide the Partition Slider all the way to the Right.
You will notice the "Setting encrypted disk capacity" increases, it is normal.

*NOTE* Ensure That You Do Not Click The "Set Username And Password", Leave It UNTICKED.

Next, click on Start to begin the format and partition process. You will be presented with a dialog box like below, click on Yes to proceed.

It will take a few moments for the process to complete. You will notice that your player would disconnect from the computer, and then re-connect back again.

You will be presented with the "Complete setting disk partition!" dialog box like below.



STEP 3
Go to My Computer and check that now you will two memory drives for your player.


One of which would be small (about 17MB), and the other would be the remaining memory capacity.

Now, go back to the Partition and Encrypt tab.
Slide the Partition slider to the Left, and click on Start.


You will repeat the process and the "Complete setting disk partition!" dialog box would appear.


Check in My Computer that now you will only have One single memory drive for your player. Right click on it and select Properties, this is your actual real memory capacity.


Now check your player's Memory Info for the correct memory display.
To access this, go to your player's SYS TOOL >> MEMORY INFO.
Your player should display the actual memory size that you have just checked.
Check if the percentage is at 0%. If it is, you can skip Step 4 below, and continue to Step 5.


STEP 4
If your player's Memory Info does not show 0%, you will need to complete the below procedure.

Right click on your player's memory drive, and select Format.



Now a new windows format screen would appear.

Select FAT in the File System dropdown menu.
Click on Start to begin on the format process.

A warning will appear for the format, click on OK to continue.

Wait for a few moments while Windows formats your player.
When completed, check your player's Memory Info again, it should display 0% now.


STEP 5
Once completed, sit back and start copying music/video files to your player and enjoy your stuff!

AMV is the format. You should have got a disc with your player and install the mp4 player tools,. If you got it from e-bay dont use the update or upgrade tool. Also if you have trouble when you put a movie on, e.g audio not right with movie change the settings in your programs look at earlier post. cheers have to say this good win Rovers 3 Wigan 0.

Hello people,I've just joined up.I had bought a mp4 player before christmas. I thought great I can download music etc etc.After reading the manual,I came across a part where it said they have a website to upgrade the firmware for this player,but there was no actual name of the of the website in the manual. Oh,I forgot to tell you the brand 'SKY'. So I rang the retailer and they said there is no website yet,I was a bit dissapointed.Then over the holidays I searched the net and found this site.I also lost the Tom & Jerry video.After reading these messages I found a site that solved my problem.Thanx People,this site is great. Also Can anyone tell what site is the firmware upgade for these Mp4s.

Hi, long shot but here goes.

I bought one of these 4Gb MP3/MP4 players for my son's Christmas, and copied a lot of his music onto it b4 I gave it to him.

Problem is that the divot deleted ALL the files from it so that he could add new folders with music onto it. Now we cant get any music files onto it.

Any chance that one of you kind people could get in touch regarding either sending them to me, or telling me whereI can download them.

Or even tell me how to do a Firmware Upgrade.
Existing details are ...
