Didn't get any instructions. i
This device should appear as a USB mass storage device when you plug it into a computer (windows, mac or linux should work).
Once it's visible, simply drag (or otherwise copy) your music into it. Then unmount it (eg. "remove safely" on Windows). Removing files is basically the same process: just delete the tracks you see on it as required.
When it has music loaded into it, set the switch on the side to the "on" position. It should start playing immediately. The main button panel should be self-explanatory: there's a play button in the middle, skip forward and back on either side, and volume up/down above and below. There's no way to mess it up, so just play with it until you get the hang of it.
Tracks are played in the order in which they were loaded onto the device, unless you use a utility to sort them. Unlike the iPod Shuffle (which this appears to be a clone of) this device does NOT play in random order. Your friendly neighbourhood hacker will be able to use a utility (such as "fatsort") to reorganize the playing order.
This device sometimes loses track of where it's supposed to be, and just starts at the first track again. Annoying, but what do you expect for cheap?

Well i put music in
This device has fragile connectors in the headphone jack. Most of my headphones don't cause any trouble, but one of them always bends the contacts back so other headphones don't work properly.
Symptoms of this problem are: the sound becomes quiet; some frequencies are muffled or inaudible (especially vocals and mid-range); no stereo effect. To be certain that this problem is with the device and not the headphones, try it with a different set of headphones. If the problem remains, the device is damaged.
Unfortunately, the only solution is to open it up and bend the contacts back into the headphone jack so they can connect to the plug properly. This is an advanced maneuver, and you are very likely to break the device permanently if you attempt it. I've been doing this kind of thing for years, and this device was one of the most difficult to work with. Fixing it will be fun for bonafide hardware hackers, but everyone else will be better off just getting a new one. Give the old device to a kid who likes messing with electronics... they can probably re-purpose the battery and the case. :)

Silver Sylvania smp2012 2gb what
No separate charger is required. Use a USB cable to connect it to any computer (desktop or portable), or to any powered USB hub. It should charge in about 5-20 minutes. While charging, both the red and green LEDs are lit. When fully charged, the green LED turns off and only the red LED is on.
This device should also be possible to charge using a stand-alone USB power source, such as those used to charge Blackberries.

How do i download my sylvania smp 2012?
The Sylvania SMP2012 can be used as a regular USB mass storage device. This means that you don't actually need the included software to use it. However, if you are using Windows, you may be able to control it more effectively with the included software, as it may perform functions such as sorting and configuration that are not available with the generic USB mass storage drivers.
I'm not certain about Mac OSX drivers for this device.
Linux users are stuck with USB mass storage, but thankfully it does work. Sorting can be achieved with the "fatsort" utility, which is available with Ubuntu and other Debian distros.
