2GB Micro Disk has problem playing MP3 and WMA

Using an unsupported USB device can result in abnormal playback or display of the audio file. Even if you use the USB device conforming to the above specs, audio files cannot be played normally depending on the type or condition of the USB device.

The support page says it only plays MP3 and WMA files.

I know from reading the user manual that it is meant to play WMA
files but you may have to use the coby media manager to convert the files to mp3 or possibly to wma ( that the player can read )
I have similar problems with mp3 files that do not play in my car mp3 player .

This MP3 player WILL NOT PLAY Video according to the website, see the information below:
Supported formats are only MP3 or WMA which are both audio formats

Hello,

browse through the mp3 player setting very well and you will sure find an option to link the music on your SD card to your player.

take care

It is hard to provide any useful suggestions without knowing the type of cell phone your son is using.

Normally he would put the memory card in the cell phone microSD slot (provided it can support 2gb card), plug the USB cable from computer to cell phone (if it supports this). Normally the phone will have also got some software apps CD which should be loaded to computer. This will provide the necessary functions to load music files to the phone.

Alternative to USB is bluetooth connection which both the computer and the cell phone will have to support. He can transfer music files that way.

I am not sure if he can copy the files directly from the computer to the memory card and play it on the cell phone as data formats are not standard. Also iTunes files need to converted to mp3 format. If these are protected iTunes files then it becomes a bit harder - best to burn a CD and then rip into mp3 format.

Once again these suggestions are useless if cell phone cannot play music (mp3 or WMA etc) files, does not have microSD slot, does not have USB or bluetooth support.

If you can't find an answer to why the machine won't play wma files, you can get a file converter called Switch Sound this will turn WMA files into MP3 (except DRM files). It was free on the net when I got it, but when the trial versions comes to an end, all you need do is to remove it, on doing so it will ask if you want to really remove it and offer a simple version of it instead. This simple form (the same as the trial) turns out to be all you really need anyway!

Are the files actually .mp3 format? There are a few different compressed formats available now and some mp3 players etc are not compatible with these formats.
Older players (and some current ones) for instance will not play .wma files which are Windows Media Audio files.

why cant i get my micro sd to show on my phone
