WHAT I HAD TO DO ,WAS WHEN I PLUGGED MY PLAYER IN, WAS LOOK TO SEE WHAT LETTER IT WAS GIVEN i.E (E/ REMOVABLE , & THEN GO TO THE RUN FILE IN TARTUP, TYPE E:/ & REMOVE THE INFO FROM THAT , TAKE IT OUT , DELETE THE STUFF YOU TOOK OFF OF THE REMOVABLE DRIVE ,& THEN PLUG BACK IN , & SEE IF THAT WORKS, MINE DID GOOD LUCK ( DID IT WITH BOTH THE STICK ,& THE CLIP ON

NO THE MPC883 TAKES 1 TRIPLE A (AAA)BATTERY ,THE PLUG IN IS ONLY FOR ADDING MUSIC TO THE PLAYER. THE CLIP ON ,IS CHARGED WHEN YOU PLUG IT INTO THE PC

This Coby is not Mac compatible.

Put all songs in mp3 format - the wma format is too problematic

also, make sure the lock is not engaged

The songs need to be in Mp3 format - the WMA format is too problematic

so when the mp3 is hooked up and windows media player is open there is a long box on the side of the screen and drag the songs you want into the box and when you got all the song in the box press start sinc. and with the itunes problem put a blank CD in the computer and open up itunes there is a small button on the bottom of the screen that says burn and it will put all the songs on the CD then close itunes and rip the song from the CD on to the computer and then just drag the songs like on the first step i told you.

take off the cap and stick the long metal thingy in to the USB port.

use a needle to poke in the hola

It might be due to the memory being entirely filled up that there isn't enough room for the song you've tried to install, therefore, it might not install all the way on some of the MP3's where others will not install it at all because their system senses not enough room in there to fit it.

Have you tried to delete some space? Also, do you still own this device since it has been a few months since you've posted your question.
