I have the rca th1101 pearl mp3 player. I put about 160 songs on the device. When I use my mp3 only 45 songs out of 160 play. When I plug in the usb it plays all songs on my computer, it shows the same amount of memory used from when I put the 160 songs on there.
I have since then reformatted and updated firmware. The device still only plays 45 songs. How can I get this mp3 to play all songs?
Make sure the songs are in the correct format. Make sure the songs are not AAC, WAV, streaming, or some other non-supported format
Mp3 players are more complicated than ever. This player may only accept DRM-encrypted WMA files. I would first check the songs that you have downloaded to make sure they did not have "temporary" licenses with a fixed end date. You can do this by right clicking on an individual song, clicking on properties, and selecting the "license," "digital rights mgmt" or "media usage rights" tab - the wording varies by configuration. It will give you info on the license. If the song says that it has no license, it will not work with this player. One remedy is to use mp3 converter software to convert all of those wma files to Mp3's - I don't know of any free ones, but you can certainly look for free Mp3 Converters. Another remedy on unlicensed songs is to hit the "acquire license" link in the license tab, if one exists.

having same problem ... i have about 878 songs ...on my creative zen micro 5gb only 809 showed up and on the RCA 5gb i have i put 631 and only 300 or so showed up.....i am no computer novice i have tried the following:
clean up
reformat
reload firmware
trying more than one mp3 player
re profiling after intial profile or (rebuild)
my last effort is to take all my songs into a file converter and make them all the same bit rate... to see if it solves it.....i own all the cd's to my songs so i should be able to put them on my mp3 player right?
my player will only play chosen files, how do i get it to play all of my songs again?
My computer shows that I have 180 songs but only 130 show up on my screen. Then, I put about 20 more on there and then it said there was 122 on the MP3 player. WTF?????
