2 problems with my coby mp3 player

the problem is not your mp3,it is your pc.I had the same problem and found out that my musi in my pc file was not properly downloaded.so my mp3 could not except my music file.this little gadget mp3 is a depandable music tool ! I'm now rockin BIG time!! Enjoy...

Go to the coby site and download the coby media manager the one on the player is corrupt (http://www.cobyusa.com/?p=fix_mp822). Once you get that installed on you PC go to Device and expand the device (should have a drive letter with a plus sign click on the plus sign) and you will see that your music is actually in a folder titled "music". Move it all to the folder titled "audio", don't ask I don't get it. You should now be able to use the touch screen and click on the music icon and see all your music.

Try resetting the device it?s usually a small pinhole on the back or side of the device try holding that in for about 10 seconds IF THIS DOES NOT WORK TRY THIS: Try reflashing the firmware for your device you can find the latest firmware and flashing utilities from the Coby's website. Make sure that you back your music up first because when you do this you are setting it back to factory settings.

Following these instructions for your Coby Mp-610 MP3 Player will fix your mp3 player.

Need some more information.
Did the computer ever recognize the MP3?
What program are you using to tranfer music(Windows Player, Yahoo Music.....)?
When you connect the MP3 player do you see it if you go into your computer hard drive screen?

You may want to call Coby's cust svc, since the documentation on the website is a little spotty - Customer Care: 1.800.727.3592
If you have the user manual, check and see if there is a "reset" method - this will turn your player off when it freezes.

Then, hold in the volume + button while the player is off, and connect it to your computer - after continuing to hold the volume + button for several seconds, a Windows XP enabled computer will load the missing drivers. It should pop up a window that says "Found New Hardware wizard: Recovery Mode"

Finally, you can try reformatting the player in windows Media Player. connect the device to the computer, and bring up the drop-down menu underneath the Sync tab - select your player, and select "Format player"

You will most likely need to get a firmware upgrade from Coby's website www.cobyusa.com, although I had a difficult time finding your exact model number - their cust svc may be able to direct you to the right place.

when ever i cut on my mp3 player the lights would flash on and off i have put a new battery in it and the computer will not respond when i put it in the computer

I can help! The mp3 player's are only built by standard specifications and they are only built to work with 2gb sd cards at the max. so i suggest using the 2gb sd card or buying an mp3 with more memory space.

coby products are trash,buy yourself a ipod and return/trash your old coby player.ive had two coby products and they both stopped working for NO reason,one was 6 months old{portable dvd} another {mp3 player}was 3 weeks old!
i put 300 songs on mine now i have to start over and all the technician from coby said was"mail it in ,we'll send you a new one",what about the time and/or money wasted buying mp3s?
thanks for wasting my time coby!!!!

Your batteries may be dead, the coil that it (the battery) attaches to sometimes gets bent out of the way, so try turning that back.
