File Error Can nyone help me as it's driving me mad. I have bought 3 new CD's recently and have ripped to my music library but when I "Start Sync" to my MP3 it appears to be transferring the files and I can play from my MP3 if loaded into my laptop, however when I take my MP3 out of the laptop and try to play normally when I go to the three new albums I supposedly copied to my MP3 I get the message "File Error". I have spent ages looking through all my other CD's I have transferred and some are in MP3 format and others are in WMA format but still play on my MP3 - however the 3 CD's I have recently copied are in WMA format and I have tried loads of suggestions to convert but get the message can't convert for DMR reasons. Please help.

Re the Ripping problem, for Win7:

To rip music from an audio CD

1. Click the Start button , click All Programs, and then click Windows Media Center.
2. If Media Center is not in full-screen mode, click the Maximize button in the upper-right corner of the window.
3. Insert an audio CD into the CD-ROM drive on your computer. The CD will start playing automatically.
4. On the Now Playing screen, click Rip CD. (If you navigated away from the Now Playing screen, you can always return there from the Windows Media Center start screen by scrolling to Music, clicking Music library, clicking Albums, and then clicking the CD you inserted.)
5. If this is the first time you've ripped a CD, follow the instructions on the CD Ripping Options screen. (You won't see this screen the next time you rip a CD.)
6. In the Rip CD dialog box, click Yes to rip the tracks to your computer. The ripped music files are automatically added to your Music library.

Hello,

Normal audio CD tracks should be converted to mp3 files onto the computer's hard drive, first.
This is called ripping or RIP function.
There are several programs that can RIP audio CD.
It is important to convert music into the correct bitrate for the player to match for playback. (192 kbps is good quality and often used)
You can use Windows Media Player 10 or 11 for conversion.

When you use WMP 10 or 11 and the player is detected in the program:
1. Tell the player were your music library is: setup your music library.
2. Create a playlist; make playlist name and add mp3 files to the list.
3. Synchronize the playlist with mp3 files to the player.

If the player cannot be detected in WMP 10 or 11, but only can be viewed as a removable disk in "My Computer" : use the "copy and paste" or "drag and drop" method to put mp3 files from the computer onto the player.

When needing more help, don't hesitate to write a comment in this reply.

Check to see that when you rip a music CD that your music is not copy protected. The RIP function in your Windows Media Player will allow you to convert the music CDs you have purchased into either an MP3 or a WMA format.

To adjust the copy protection setting on your ripped music files,

1. Open the Tools tab at the top of your Windows Media Player.
2. Select Options and then select the Rip Music tab.
3. Choose the type of music file as well as the quality with which you would like to save the music. (Your GPX player has the ability to play music files in both the MP3 and WMA format.)
4. Make sure to use MTP when transferring copy protected WMA files.

dont even bother with that software use windows media player, open windows media player and insert your cd and click on the rip tab rip the music to the library the sync it to your mp3 player enjoy you can even use it to sync the new music to your player

Best way to use the H10 20gb is by creating a directory on your hard drive with your desired mp3 format files. Use ripping and encoding software with your existing audio cds.
Connect the h10 to the PC via the UMS trick (see this website).

Using a file directory on your pc, drag and drop the mp3 files from your pc to the MUSIC file folder on the h10. Install and run the EASY10 playlist creator software on your pc to organize the new files on your iRiver player. Disconnect the USB connection and enjoy!
