RCA Lyra RD2763 5 GB MP3 player

My Lyra does the exact same thing...what i do is i pull the batteries out for a second and the unfreezes the device...then i delete the song that froze my device....then i reload the song..if it freezes again delete that song from ur computer them find a better music provider because most likely the song was corruped

i would prob try redownloading the music. but i have a question idk if its the same way but i downloaded some nirvana a while ago and now it doesnt play also i really need 2 know how to delete songs off my rca lyra rd2765a so plz if u know any thing email me at abbott352@gmail.com

When RCA first came out with the Lyra series the only way to get music onto the device was by using musicmatch jukebox that would convert your mp3 file to mpy before downloading it to the device. But now RCA has come out with a new firm ware update for these mp3 players that improved the players playback quality plus enabled it to use .WMA files. so first go to RCA support http://support.rcaaudiovideo.com/select.aspx?u=downloads and find your player and download the firmware upgrade and install to your player its very easy and instructions are at the same site. You can now convert your music to .wma or use the free Real player that will convert mp3 to wma at the kbps that you request before loading it on. If your music is all ready in wma format you can use windows media player to send the files to your player. One last thing the .wma files that you put on your Lyra player need to be at least 128kbps or higher enhanced playback quality of wma files (160 kbps to 256 kbps).

WMA files come in two formats DRM & non-DRM. Change your setting in Windows media player (Options - Copy Music) and re-rip the music CD. You can copy both versions but one will play but not the other.

Did you notice if you got any error msgs when you are done transfering? I get the error msgs and it still shows the songs on the download list but those are the ones that are not on the MP3 player. I am trying to figure out why I get error msgs from cd's that I have purchased but not from downloaded music form the internet...want to trade info?

Remember when you format memory like a hard drive you erase everything. Move music to your internal mp3 memory and do a profile - folders should appear. If you have flashed your player with the firmware update you can get 520 songs on the player for both internal and external combined but be warned that if you exceed this count your player will start to forget the earlier loaded songs - listed but not addressable (playable). The same is for the folder count eg. add album = artist + ablum title (min 2 folders). Plus always profile your songs after loading new music or deleting as this is an index build process to play song 152 = title x. This includes accidental radio recordings to MP3s. RD2312 , RD2315, RD2317 Lyra™ mp3 flash player Firmware/Application Upgrade Version 3.11 fixes:

• Supports a total of 520 songs, in up to 50 folders, with up to 8 levels of subfolders.

Upgrade the player's firmware following the RCA's website instructions (goto support, RD1021, Software upgrades)

Go to galary play song then go to the options & search DELETE function. Select DELETE.

My suggestion is switching the file transfer protocol from MTP to MSC by accessing it under the Menu. Once you do this, when the Lyra is plugged into the computer, it will appear as an external hard drive. Format the hard drive and then drag and drop your songs and/or directories of songs onto the Lyra. This is what I do, as I never use Rhapsody, URGE, or even Windows Media Player or MusicMatch to upload songs onto my RD2763. Hope this helps!

I had the same thing happen to my Lyra tc1001a. to fix it I had to go to the command prompt and format the drive C:\format G: this does erase everything on your lyra though hope you have your songs backed up... BW
