I installed the wrong type of song format (CD Audio Track) on my MP3 and now I can't delete them. Windows says they are Read Only. How can I get them off my MP3 player?

- I ahve a Insignia pilot Player 7GB MP3 which I accidently put CD Audio Tracks instead of MP3 format songs. Now I can't get then deleted. When I try an error comes up saying, "Are you sure you want to permanently delete {file name}?" And when I select yes another error come up saying, "The {file name} is a read-ony file. Are you sure you want to delete it?" And when I select yes, it tells me, "Cannot delete {File name}: The storage is write-protected. Revove the write-protection and try again." Only problem is that the read-only box in file properties is greyed out and I can't changed it.
Depends on the type of mp3 player that you have. What is the model # and manufacturer of the mp3 player?
