When I try to send files to the music player an error message pops up and says that the file cannot be sent because of an I/O device error. ??? Please help, thanks.

Assuming you're on Windows XP and that this is a USB device:

First, try installing any drivers that came with your devices. Watch that they don't try to connect to the internet - a lot of this freebie crap is spyware. Do not install crap like MusicMatch, etc. - only the basic drivers.

If that doesn't work or isn't an option, try reinstalling your motherboard or computer's "Chipset drivers", if available.

And if that doesn't work or isn't an option, click Start->Control Panel-Performance and Maintenance->System->Hardware->Device Manager. Expand the items onder Universal Serial Bus Controllers or similar and look to see if anything has a Yellow question mark or exclamation next to it. If so, click each one that has the yellow, right-click and select Properties and try updating the drivers. See if USB drivers can with the CD for your computer/motherboard. Make sure your MP3 player and any other USB equipment is not connected when doing this.

-Do you believe you own your computer and shouldn't be told what you can run and do? Then say *NO* to Microsoft Vista!
-Since half the questions here involve media problems, here ya go: Only use Verbatim or Taiyo-Yuden discs (get your TYs from Rima.com, not Supermediastore or meritline). Forget the rest, no matter what "brand" they sell under. Always burn at 4x speed regardless of the speed rating of this discs or your drive. If you have burn problems with these then you have to update your drive's firmware. For double-layer discs, only use Verbatim DVD+R DL and burn them at 2.4x speed.
