Can't download new songs

I was able to download all my songs the first time but the second time I tried downloading new songs, the pc won't read my mp3 player. It says "One of the usb devices attached to this computer has malfunctioned, and Windows does not recognize it." I tried the troubleshooting but the usb port works fine with my flash drive and other items. I reconnected my mp3 more than a couple of times and still nothing. I just wanted to update with new songs and I am stuck with all the original songs I downloaded months ago. Help me please

You should be able to get back to normal by putting your device through recovery mode. I've had to do this myself, and it worked well. Read all the way through this before you do anything, to make sure your comfortable with the process. You'll also want to make sure you've got a fresh battery in your player...you don't want it running out of juice in the middle of this! There are two files you need to download: First, go to the SanDisk website and download the firmware update file for your player. The next file is a device driver that your computer will need to recognize your device while in recovery mode (Again, I've done this myself, and it worked great). Go to www.creative.com, click on the "Support" tab at the top, and select your region and language. In the "downloads" area, it asks you to select your device. Select "MP3 players", then "MuVo", then "MuVo TX FM". I know this is not the device you have, but they use the same chipset, and the drivers are also the same. Once you've entered your Operating system and language, download the "Creative Mass Storage Driver" file and run the installation wizzard. The next step is to put your player into "Recovery Mode." To do this, attach the USB cable to the player, but not yet to the computer. Push and hold the power button on the player while you connect the USB cable to your computer, and keep holding the button until your computer says it has "located a device in recovery mode." After that, you just need to run the Firmware update you downloaded from SanDisk, and you're all set. Just so you know, the firmware update WILL format your player. To be safe, take out your SD card (if you're using one), although it probably wouldn't be affected. Hope this helps you!

Also, you ALWAYS want to make sure you don't just pull the plug on a USB device after you've used it. In Windows XP, whenever you plug in a USB device, an icon shows up in your "Quick Launch" toolbar called "safely remove hardware." You should familiarize yourself with how to use this, because you can wreak havoc on your system if you don't.

I just put new songs on my slick mp3 player and now it says frmat error all the time and it won't let me listen to the song.

That's the answer to your problem. The format error happens because the format of the song is not compatible with your mp3. So try downloading songs in mp3 format instead. Nothing's wrong with your mp3, it's just that the songs you're putting in it aren't compatible with it.

I will try and make this as short as possible and hope you understand what I am asking. I just got an Ipod Classic last month and signed up with Itunes and then downloaded about 1300 songs from my cd...

You can't "backwards sync" (put music from your iPod back onto your computer) through iTunes. When you went to sync after you got your fixed computer back, I'm assuming iTunes tried to copy what was in iTunes (nothing) to your iPod, which probably is what caused these problems.

Assuming you still have the music on your iPod, I would recommend transferring the music from your iPod back to your computer (to a folder other than iTunes), restoring your iPod to factory settings, then moving all of the music files into iTunes and re-syncing your iPod.

There are two programs that are available to transfer songs from your iPod back onto your computer. The first is iDump and the second is YamiPod. I have found that iDump is the better of the two.
The link for iDump is:

Hope this helps!

My new mp3 pearl

The license on the songs that you are trying to download either does not permit transfer to mp3 players - or the license has expired. Use mp3 format songs only, and you will never have this problem. You can read my "Tips & Tricks" article on song formats if you really want more detailed information.

Will not hold the music I download

My problem was that I was deleting the existing library list in my computer when I attempted to add more songs to the MP3 player. I thought since I had already downloaded them to the MP3 player, that I could get rid of them from my PC's Media Player's library. The new songs I tried to add, would override the old songs stored in the MP3 player. Apparently you have to continue to store all the songs in your PC's library, and then when you add more songs you can transfer only the new ones to your MP3 player. A guy at my work told me this.

Will eventually lose songs downloaded?

Okay, here's what i've encountered: songs that I downloaded on rhapsody, without purchasing, only lasted about 7-10 days unless i reconnected. once my trial period ended, i lost all the songs. songs that i've purchased i've had no trouble (although if you load them to the sansa immediately after download, you may get the same message. its best to wait at least 24 hours). good luck
