I purchased this MP3 player only months ago and one day when I was listening to music it just froze and it would not allow me to turn it off. After a while in automatically turned off. Now when I try to turn it on I recieve this white and red capsule looking object??? not sure what this is and there is nothing in my operation manual. I cannot turn my MP3 player on... so I decided to plug it into the computer and when I do the MP3 turns on and allows me to listen to music but it is not registering on my computer thereofore I cannot add or delete files! I removed the battery and replaced it as I thought something may have got lose or something but still no luck. Can anyone help me?
Thank you!

Check if the hold switch is enabled try disabling it then try to upddate the firmware of the player and also it may be your songs try formatting the player in MSC mode. :D

MP3 players can only play music files in mp3 file format.
You need to convert your CDs to mp3 music files onto yourcomputer or download them from the Internet and then copy them to your MP3player. You can do this using Windows Media player and Rip the CDs - Media Player willcreate a MP3 music file for each music track.

If you downloaded the songs onto your player free from a mp3 website, there songs most likely were protected by a liscense which only allows you to listen to the for a certain of time (usually a month) as a trial so you will buy the songs to keep it as long as you like. If you do not wish to purchase the songs from that place you are getting them from, you can either go to another free website without a liscense on their songs and get them there or purchase them from another site you like.
It sounds like you have a corrupted file. The solution would be to either locate the file that your MP3 Player is freezing on and delete it or format your mp3 players drive.
You have to connect the mp3 player to the computer and refresh your device through Bearshare - their songs have fixed licenses, which require you to refresh every 30 days or less.
1
Insert your memory card into your computer's reader if you
have one. If not, you can purchase a multi-format USB Memory Card reader
from Amazon.com or Buy.com
2
Open up 'My Computer'. You should see it under the list of
available drives.
3
Check its contents first to make sure that you have the right
drive.
4
In 'My Computer', right-click on the drive and choose
'Format'.
5
Leave all the options as they are and click on 'Start'. This
is a non-reversible process so make sure this is what you truly wanted
to do in the first place.
6
Once the process is completed, take the memory card out and
insert it into your Digital Camera or any other device. Try to browse to
it to make sure it works fine now.
reading from other posts, it's perhaps because you transferred them in one mode (prob MTP?) and are attempting to view thru your PC in different/MSC mode.
