My mp3 wont play music, it freezes on the word pearl, i cant turn it off. what can i do

Whenever your player acts up, the best solution is to reflash/upgrade the firmware.

Download the firmware upgrade from http://voxrightnow.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/2243/related/1, and follow all the troubleshooting instructions that popup when you start the program:

start the program,
remove the battery,
hold the play button while plugging the RCA player into your computer's usb port,
release the play button when the term "initalizing" replaces "searching",
check the box that says "format data" (you can try it first without this checked, it may work and will save your music),
click the start button to replace the firmware.

This solution will fix your player.
I hope that helps.

My rio forge player is showing "upgrader"

When mine did this it meant the firmware inside had gotten corrupted. It started working again when I reinstalled the firmware. The official firmware is available at the official website, and wikipedia promotes an unofficial firmware that provides more features.

For either of them, plug the unit into the USB port of your computer, then run the utility to upgrade the your Forge.

(Eventually, my Forge's internal memory storage died - it still play music from card memory, but every time I turn it on I have tell it my language is english etc.)

I hope that helps.

It says "upgrader" because it is looking for a firmware upgrade - you will not be able to get rid of this message without doing the firmware upgrade - go to the rio website and follow the instructions for doing a fimrware upgrade - the msg will be removed, and you will be good to go

I can not acess the Rio Database to add new tracks or remove old tracks via the Rio Music Manager

Have you always used this on NT? I would suggest: 1-Upgrade to win2k 2-go to http://www.digitalnetworksna.com/support/rio/product.asp?prodID=235 and install the latest music manager.

MUSIC WON'T PLAY

Rio confirmed that there are fundamental problems with the firmware update, some people reffer to it as the "upgrader bug" . You should get Rio to replace it for you, if you can't fix it with a firmware upgrade. when you talk to them, say you saw thousands of posts about this upgrader thing on the net, and you realize its a known issue. In full sympathy, SG ;]
