Wire has internal break accounting for intermittent connection and operation. If you replace the entire wire you will have a working headphone set.

No that is not problem what are trying to use to pout music on your mp3. The best way i know is to just open the files on you mp3 go to music and just drag and drop well i hope that it works for you.

Hello

Ok, if the player states that it is a unknown format, it means that the songs which you coppied to the device is not in mp3 format.

Here is how you change it to the right format:

Try these steps to fix your Coby MP-610 MP3 Player.

While it may be something you're well aware of, did you navigate to the folder on the Coby where the songs reside? Is it possible you loaded the mp3s in a directory that is not the default and so the player doesn't see any music. Another possibility is the copyright protection won't allow the player to play the songs. The license may reside on your computer but is not on the mp3 player. Last two thoughts (as stupid as they sound) are is volume up? Is earphones securely plugged in? Have you tried the earphones on another unit to make sure they work?

i have the same problem,please let me know if you get a fix for it...coriluv

I am sorry to say that without looking at your mp3 player, I must assume that it is physically damaged. Lint from a pocket if it comes into contact with a USB port can short it out and damage it to the point the device is no longer any good.

why i can connect the mp3 with internet

I would try dragging and dropping files into the player by opening it in my computer instead of syncing the files. I had this problem, but on a different player and it fixed mine.

are you talking about the coby media manager? I dont think it comes with a cd, I got a coby mp725 and it and the program was installed from the mp3, when you plug it into the computer look for a little bubble on the bottom right of your computer saying the computer has found new hardware.

try finding a reset button and plug it into the computer and press the reset button while its plugged in (just an idea). Some mp3 players also have a format option in it some where, you might want to try that.

To get the basics out of the way, is the volume turned up and not muted at all... if it's turned up then try another pair of headphones that you know work in something else or test these headphones in something else...( cd player, radio etc.) use a pair that you know work to retest your mp3. plug them in, turn it on and play a song the gently wiggle the end plugged into the player back and forth. If you hear a crackling or snippets of song, then it's probably the jack inside the player....try these things and get back.
PS. post the make and model of your player, it helps with problem identification

Tetasonja40 , your problem may be the same as some of the other players. IF you don't have a license in the music you are copying the player loads it and it is visible but will not play and may even lock up the unit that it will blink on then when you hit play it shuts off or the light remains on but solid and will not play. Try removing the songs one at a time till the offending file releases the unit. I spent hours resovling this on other units. another problem that occurs is the players stop recognizing mp3 files for replay. converting them to a wma may resolve this problem.

I had this problem and gave a detail on how to solve in one of the solve pages on the site you posted but I'll write it to you and hope you get this.

The problem is two fold.
1. the player doesn't actually recognize mp3 files. Mine did at first the it didn't. I solved this sort of. Since the player will recognize wma format if you use the media player converter to change the song format to wma and sync them it will play them. If you load a song that is incorrrect it will cause the light to go solid an not play. If you get to the point where the light goes out and the song play will not advance past a certain point it is a format issue. Note not all songs will convert properly and the media player will warn you about converting. save the files as <same name .wma> in a different file your originals will remain untouched.
2. License. If the songs you are trying to load do not have the license the player will not play it no matter the format and it is the one problem that usually shuts the mp3 player off. I have used this to solve several units and the problem is the Coby players have poor programing and it is easily disrupted. Never plug your player into a PC while it is on. The best way is to remove the battery first.
I'd be interested if this solves your problem email me either way, so I can eliminate what units it works for and not. My one is a MPC883. It took hours to figure out but these steps do work and tell Tech the problem is programming and hardware.

Open Windows Media Player. Use the mouse to highlight the "Rip" tab. click on the little black arrow underneath the Rip tab. Select Rip Options, and change format to "Mp3". Then insert the CD into the disc drive, and then press the Rip button to begin ripping in mp3 format. You can then transfer the newly ripped mp3 files to your mp3 player using Windows Media Player or whatever software is appropriate for your Coby.

Pull Mp3 player out of the USB port. Walk directly to trash can. Discard immediately. Turn around and give yourself a swift kick in the arse for not doing this sooner. I've wasted hours on this as well.
