Hello,

try formatting it. I think there is a problem with the player. If it does not format, then prepare to get another mp3 player.

Take care

You plug your player into your computer and click open files and then right click on the song u want to delete and click delete

The simplest way is to connect to your computer. It will show up as an e-drive. Select the drive, browse the folders for "Music", Click on the title you want to delete, right click and select "delete".

try downloading the firmware for ur device and install on your player, it will restore the default settings.

Don't have the Mp3 player plugged in while you are deleting them. and if you don't have it plugged in then just make sure you have enough space to keep adding songs.

When you turn it on and go to the main menu look around through thier and look for a button with a garbage can and it should say delete underneath or above it. Click on that and it will give you the option to delete all songs or just some.

i have the same problem but i believe it is because of one computer using Fat32 file system and another using NTFS the only way i can think to fix it with out reformating is to make a FAT32 File partition on your computer so windows can operate in that environment for example if you used windows 98 to put music on this thing and then try to view it with XP the file systems are different and cant be recognized. you can make a back up of the system files for it on the computer. Format the device and then when you save NTFS files to it your new computer will recognize it. Im just trying to make sure that if i format the drive i wont lose the operating system on he mp3 player
