To delete files from your mp3 player using Windows Media Player 11:

My Directions:

1. Connect your mp3 player to the computer

2. Open Windows Media Player

3. Click on the icon of your Mp3 player on the left-hand side of the Library

4. Click on the Songs, Tracks, or other Music Folder

5. Find a song or songs that you want to delete

6. Left-click the song once to highlight it

7. Press the “Delete” button on your computer’s keyboard

well if you can still connect it to your computer just format the mp3 this should work after the format just go to WMP and sync your music

Formating:

1. connect mp3 to computer

2. got to "My Computer "

3. find the mp3 in the computer

4. right click on the mp3 drive

5. click on "Format"

6. click on ok


note : formating will delete all picture,songs, and videos on the device

Your database is corrupt - get the firmware upgrade from the Philips website - www.usasupport.philips.com

If the upgrade does not create a pictures folder, then use the Arcsoft Media Converter that came with the player to transfer the pictures

The user's manual for that player is also on the Philips website

Connect your player to your PC. Open Windows Media Player or Windows Explorer and select the player on the left panel (the device will show up as Player or GoGear (depending on the device you have). Once the contents of the player are listed, you can delete content that you desire removed.

Hope this helps

Here's what happened: When you first synced your GoGear to Windows Media Player, you may have set up the automatic sync option. When this option is selected,Windows Media Player will add EVERY song, picture, etc from your Library on your computer to the GoGear. Now, every time you sync you device, it adds every new file from your computer into the GoGear automatically.

Here's what you want to do (this process assumes you have Windows Media Plaer 11 and windows XP - if you have another version, just let me know and I will give you modified instructions - reply to the FixYa website, not to my personal e-mail address):
1) Backup all files stored on your GoGear, as this process will delete all files from your GoGear
2) Go into Windows Media Player 11 with your GoGear connected to the computer (it will automatically sync and add new files one last time), move the mouse cursor over to the sync tab; a small black arrow will appear under the word "Sync"; click on the small black arrow and a dropdown menu will appear; select "Portbale media device" from the dropdown menu, and another dropdown menu will appear; select "Set Up sync"; a window will appear with some information on your device - uncheck the box that says "Sync this device automatically"; click Finish; This will eliminate the problem of Windows always adding songs/files you don't want into your player
3) As long as the GoGear now says, "OK to disconnect from PC," then open up Philips Device Manager (Start --> All Programs --> Philips)
4) Click on the Repair Tab, and look for a msg that says connect the player while holding the volume + button
5) Disconnect the GoGear from the computer and turn the GoGear off - hold in the volume + button and continue to hold it as you reconnect the GoGear to the computer; after holding the volume + button for up to 20 or 30 seconds, a window will open up saying that your device is being repaired (now you can let go of the volume + button); after the repair is succesfully complete, your GoGear will be good as new
6) you will have to re-add all your files (only the ones you want in there) to the GoGear as the Repair process has deleted all files on the device; as long as you followed the process in Step 2 above, then Windows Media Player will no longer add the files you DON'T want to the GoGear

heya.
i had the same problem with mine,after installing factory software.I deleted the sotfware and just connecteted the mp3 player without software to the pc. Pc then founded as new hardware and gave me a choice of sync to Windows Media Player or Winamp,i chose Winamp and there it went no problems with uploading music.but i can't figure out how to delete music.Hope that works for you.

cheers,eric

Put all your music in one folder and let Windows Media player synchronise your music with the player. Any time you want to add songs, put them into the same folder and Windows Media Player will add them to your MP3 player when you next connect.

Ideally you should go to Philips and download the HDD1630/17b software and firmware and print off the instructions and redo your player

Try formatting it, that should fix, if its a hard drive player (by the title i think it is) then the hard drive might've gone bad, but you should still have a warentee, i think there one year

Mine did the same thing. The hdd1630 seems to let some of the songs you don't want any more snake their way back into your playing list. You might want to try deleting all the songs off or it and re-syncing the player. This works for me about 98% of the time. Though, one or two ghost songs did pop up.. Any way, I hope this helps.
