-   I'm having the same trouble. I tried using windows media player, and even updated my matchmusic jukebox program, nothing helped. I even went so far to delete the firmware on the system, but that didn't work either. My system displays the please connect to computer if music is or is not on the system.-   Ktob

-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.

you should try different software instead of music match, like windows media player or real one as these are much more reliable. i had the same problem when i bought a ministry of sound mp3 and i tried it with different software and it worked perfectly!!!

Double H is right on that part. You should use either RealPlayer, or the preferred Windows Media Player 10 or 11 (Beta version if possible).
