-Install the 'Device Manager' Utility from your Disk, or go get the latest from Philips website.
-Connect your player to the computer with the usb cable.
-Run the 'Device Manager' program. Press Restore. This will restore the firmware and your player is as good as new!
Everything will be erased, so remember to backup your data if you store anything other that MP3s in it.
Some more notes:
-Do not erase the '_system' folder in it, cause it has the firmaware,MP3s database, and the MP3s.
-Maybe that 130MB pushed your player to it's limits. I never tried to put a file that big but probably we should avoid it in the future.
-Do not use Media player, RealOne, Winamp, etc. Those will just copy the mp3 in the root, while the player reads a Database file. Use the Musicmatch version provided by philips along with the provided plugin. The plugin will not work with other versions of musicmatch.
-If you you had enough with musicmatch, use one free alternative like
ShoqBox Buddy or
Pandora's Shoqbox.
