The ripped cd's won't play on the GoGear Cam 4gb (SA2CAM04K/02) device, even though it was ripped with SongBird, help me, 'cause it's my neighbours device...

You can use Philips songbird to rip CD and then transfer it to your player.

Here is how to Rip CD using songbird:
Insert the CD into your computer and launch Songbird.
Once the CD is detected, it will automatically show up on the Philips Songbird screen.
Click the "Rip CD" on the right hand side and the ripping process will begin.

Here is how to transfer files from songbird to your MP3 player:

Or you need to go to Songbird library and then drag and drop the files to your MP3 player's icon on the Songbird software.

Check the specification of your MP3 player to determine thetype of video file format it uses. Most common video files that MP3 players use are, AVI andWMV, there may be others such as FLV, MOV and DivX. If your player cannot play a video then it is anincompatible video file format, then you need to convert that video file to aformat that your MP3 player uses.

connect to system and format with windows FAT32...if that doesnt solve your problem,install philips device manager from the CD provided alongwith and use the repair tab to restore your player

Maybe use cd ex and try a different bit rate ? What bit rates does the player support and is it mp3 or mp3 pro that the files are in ?

Also if it still does not work I would get a refund and get an ipod and use itunes. A lot easier and all your music, video needs at your finger tips :)

USE DEVICE MANAGER INBUIT IN CD OR DOWNLOAD FROM WWW.PHILIPS.CO.IN

USE REPAIR AFTER INSTALLING THE SOFTWARE.

YOU NEED TO PRESS RETURN KEY WHEN SOFTWARE IS ON..IT WILL PROMPT U TO REPAIR THE PRODUCT AUTOMATICALLY.

im having the same problem! if you find out how to fix it please let me know!

I have this same problem - only my MP3 player won't even turn on because of this "File System Error" message. I charged and loaded some more music on last night...unplugged and took it to work this morning to find it not working! HELP!

The SA6045 will only play unprotected .MP3 & .WMA audio files. It will also play .WMV video files.

Sounds like the tracks you are trying to play are DRM protected. This usually causes the "File format not supported" error.

If you are downloading these files from the internet, then you'll have to look elsewhere for files.

If you are ripping your own CDs to .MP3 or .WMA with Windows Media Player, then you need to change a setting in Windows Media Player.

Open Windows Media Player. If visible, click on "Tools" then options. If the menus are not visible, right-click at the top of the Media Player Window, then select "Tools" and click options.

Click on the "Rip CD" or "Rip Music" tab (depending on version).

Remove the tick from the box next to "Copy Protect Music" (or similar)

This will stop DRM protection on any further tracks ripped.

You will need to rip any DRM tracks again.
