Have an older Dell DJ, 20g. I have a laptop with Vista, which won't read it. I need to backup the music since I lost most of it on my older computer.

If you connect the dj to your computer using Dell DJ Explorer you can select all tracks and paste them into a music folder on the PC, it is a slow way of doing it and you may have to organize it all, but it works for restoring music to your computer after a HD crash..

You may download the musicmatch to your pc and install it. It is like an mp3 player where you can connect and play your dell jukebox and maybe transfer or add songs to it....I was able to move my recordings on a dell hvdit to my pc and I think you can also move mp3 files from your dell jukebox to your pc or at least backup your dell mp3 player.

I would also like to transfer my music from my DJ (the original one) to the computer. The problem I'm having is even more complicated -- I can't get the software to run on XP. Some of the more recent music I've aded has been from realplayer or from winows media player, but there's a lot that was transferred from the dell software when it still worked. I can't access that music (except on the dj itself) and I'm worried about what I'll do if the dj crashes. Several of the CDs have disappeared into the black holes in the middle of my teenagers' rooms. I've tried downloading new drivers, but they're not supported by the system. (The latest version of the software is from 2004.) I can use realplayer to list the tracks but they don't play and can't be transferred. Another problem is that the dj software tends to freeze the windows media player which won't run at all if I've tried to get into the mmdb. But if I uninstall the software, I can't transfer any new music from the computer to the dj, so I have to keep the software on the system. Any suggestions?

As stated above and elsewhere, DJ Explorer should recognize and display the contents of your DJ. From there you copy and paste it to another folder on your computer (probably back to your My Music folder) Yes, its slow and poorly organized but possibly the only way to do it.

Copy music from Hard Drive to USB on 2010 Journey ?

I think we need more information. Does your DJ have a hard drive? If so, not sure how to get music off of that. Probably not the answer you want, but if there is a way to get music off of the HDD, it should be in your manual. My 2011 does not have a hard drive. Where did you get the music from? Didn't you copy it from your computer to a USB to upload the music files to your DJ in the first place? I know hindsight is always 20/20, but in the future, it would be easier to keep a copy of your music on your computer for easy access. Good Luck, hopefully some of the 2010 owners will have some ideas.

When my DJ was only a few months old, it froze up . I called tech assistance...

I dropped my Dell DJ 20g Mp3 player today at work, and it would not reboot out of "rescue" mode. I tried to performe all of the options on the rescue page and recieved the "harddisk error" response everytime. So... i took the back off, removed the battery pack, pulled out the hard drive and examined it. seeing nothing visibly wrong i replaced the hard drive and pluged the batt pack back in, still able to view the HD. when i turned the unit on i could hear it start to scan then suddenly stop and then start to skip, a kind of clicking sound (i could also hear this sound while the unit was still intact) With the battery pack plugged in, i lifted the HD up (still connedted) and gave it a few thumps with my screwdriver. i looked back at the screen and it was playing a song ;] I have no idea why the unit started to work again, just dumb luck, nor do i think this will work all the time (let alone again for anyone), but i thought i would share my story and maybe help someone who has lost all hope. So if you get as pissed off as i did, take it apart and beat the crap out of it ;] you might save some money.

How do i download music on my mp3 player?

Hi

Well it all depends on what you want to do. Do you want to take the music from a cd and put it on your Mp3 player, or do want to directly download music tracks from the internet on to your Mp3 player. If you want to get music from a cd onto your Mp3 player, you will first need copy your cd with windows media player or another cd playing software. You will need to change the format into "Mp3" format by "ripping" it. "Ripping" a CD is basically copying music to your computer.
After you have the files properly formatted on your hard drive, you can remove the drive from your mp3 player and plug it into a "usb" port on your computer. You then go to your hard drive, find the files you copied, making sure they are in the proper format,and then move them to the drive of your Mp3 player.

OK lets say you want to download music directly from the internet. You need to see if any special software is required to assist in the downloading process. Normally you wont need any. You just hook up your device to a "usb" port, go to your settings and look for "usb mode" or connect. With some devices you wont need to do anything, because they will automatically be detected as a removable hard drive.

Next you will need to find out where the files will be stored. Depending on which music download vendor you choose, some will allow you to buy one track at a time, if this is the case you can download one track and see where on your device the file was stored, and then proceed to buy further tracks and choose the same location to store them. If not, the files can be stored in different locations and the device will find them once you disconnect from the port.

Downloading music to your Mp3 player is easy and fun. Depending upon the capacity of your Mp3 players hard drive or flash drive you can store hundreds of music tracks, giving you hours of listening pleasure. Once you download music for the first time you will find out how easy it is. You can visit my web site, and choose from a variety of the top music download vendors, many offering free music.

Thanks.

Cannot get my computer to recognize my Dell Jukebox

Assuming that you don't have windows vista, you can load the Dell DJ Explorer program that came with your DJ. It comes up as a regular looking window that should "see" your DJ when you plug it in. If it doesn't, where it says "not connected", right click and then click refresh. Sometimes it works better to plug in the DJ first, then load dj explorer. When it sees it, "not connected" should change to the name of your DJ. Double click that and it should then 'read' your dj, showing all the files on it. Then its just a tedious amount of copy and paste to another folder on your computer (like your My Music folder), and your music is restored to your computer. Take care, as DJ Explorer can also delete files from your DJ if you tell it to.
If you no longer have the DJ drivers and DJ Explorer and Musicmatch loaded on your computer, you can still download that stuff from the Dell site.
If you Do have Vista, try to find a friend with XP. Load the DJ explorer software on their computer, and pull your music off the dj to your friend's computer, then use a USB drive or something to move it to yours. Or better yet, upgrade your computer from VIsta to Xp (yes, I said upgrade - Vista is ****)
