Can you eloborate a bit as to how are you listening to the music? I presume you are using your PC and Windows Media Player to listen to the music. You can click on the properties of any one of the music file and change it to "open with Windows Media Player" and then play the musc

This should should not be to difficult, but let me know if any of my instructions are unclear or need specification!
1. Make sure the SD card is not physically locked. If you look on the side of the SD card, there should be a little movable tab and the word "lock" (or something like that). Make sure the tab is moved in unlocked position. As long as you can put data on or take data off, it is unlocked.
2. Open "My computer"
3. Right click on your device
4. Click "Format"
5. You can select "Fat default" from the menu if that is what you want. This is FAT 16, if that is what you are looking for.
6. You can select "quick format" if you want. It will not make too much difference either way.
7. Hit "ok," and this should take a minute.
That should do it! Comment if you need additional instruction!
Well, the error literally tells you to format the card. The format function should be in your settings menu. Before
you do this, make sure that you've copied all you want off the card
and then use the camera's 'format' function to reformat the card. I
advise using the camera for the format function because this guarantees
the correct file system. If you use your computer to format it, you may
easily get the wrong one. However if you need to do it this way, see
which file system is currently in use on the drive before you start. Go
to "My Computer" and right click on the drive which is the memory card,
and choose
"Properties". Examples
of filesystems are "FAT" (probably FAT16), "FAT32" and NTFS; to make
sure your reformat is successful, ensure you use the same filesystem as
before.
If this fails, the other possibility is that you've bought an SDHC card and fitted it to a camera that can only accept SD. In this case you bought a larger card for your older camera, not
noticing that it was SDHC (or not knowing that it mattered). The new
card doesn't work, not because it or the camera is broken, but because
it's not compatible.
Cards up to 2Gb are generally SD.
Cards of 4Gb are generally SDHC.
Cards over 8Gb have to be SDHC.
(There are exceptions. Sometimes, manufacturers make 4Gb SDHC
cards but some have errors; they disable half of the chip and sell it
as 2Gb, but it's still SDHC. 4Gb cards are almost always SDHC because
they're cheaper, but 4Gb SD cards do exist. They are so rare that I've
even seen a guru on this site claim they don't. I did own one once, but
it was very expensive and turned out to be so unreliable that I had to
return it. I don't recommend
looking for one, because of the problems.)
Your solution is to go find a 2Gb card, and be extra sure that it
doesn't say "SDHC" on it.
If you formatted the card first, you should have had a true value of the Size.
Even a true 1 Gig card, only has a capacity of 960mb.
As the card has to allow for a valid boot-block to be written to it.
This is so the read/write device, can recognise the drive/cards format i.e FAT/FAT 32 et,c.
I,d suggest that you have a 512mb card, that has a 1 gig sticker on it.
The chinese have a way of doing this with MP4 Players. they sell them as 4 gig, when you format them, they,re actually 1 gig or smaller sometimes.
I,d suggest backing up yhe card, and formatting it, to see it,s true size. And that your also using the correct Format.
try the 4gb card in a camera or phone. If the card is formatted in fat, it wont be recognized as the fat has a gb limit under 4 I believe. May want to reformat it in a camera or phone with fat32
Yes, Brother there is one probability that your sd is formatted in fat-32 file system. For that i would like to say phone can only read FAT not FAT-32. Go to my computer, select sd drive properties and format it with FAT file system. Then load the files and you will be able to see it in your phone. If it works don't forget to vote here.
