Snoy NW-E105

This is what you do, unplug the mp3 player from your computer, then , while no playing songs go into the settins and look for advancded, the format menu will show and just click ok like normal. That should work.

I struggled with the "FORMAT ERROR" message on my NE-E005 for a while. Eventually I went in to the advanced menu and reformatted the player from the initialise sub menu. Obviously that meant I had to transfer all my files from scratch but at least it made the player work again! Going forward, always make sure you transfer files in ATRAC format and that should prevent the problem from occurring again.

Format error means your playlist that you have downloaded are not incompatible with the player, you have downloaded a wrong format.
Read the instruction what kind of format your player supports, then convert your playlist to the right format.

I Think The Problem Is That Your Formatted your Mp3 Player Through Your Pc That Is What Created The Format Error You Need To Format Through The Menu Of Your Mp3 Player Directly You Might Have To Do It Twice And it should Work Well

yeah, that's right! i also had that problem w/my NW-E003F. i thought i couldn't fix it anymore coz formatting thru pc doesn't work until i discovered the format in the advance menu..
