Music has disappeared.

Recently i switched my Mp3 player on to find that all my music had just disappeared. When i plug it into my computer though, all the folders with my music appear as if they exist on the Mp3 player, but when disconnected are not there! The Mp3 player acknowledges that a certain amount of GB have been used, but where is my music then?

I just finished adding more music onto my 8gig and now all the new stuff is there but the old is gone, but when viewing it on Windows Media Player it shows the space is being used by what it's supposed to be used by.

One of the pesky features of windows Media Player is that if you delete the song/playlist from the computer's harddrive, and then resync your device to that same computer, then oftentimes the song/playlist disappears. Reacquire the song/playlist, and then try resyncing to the goGear again.

Why won't my new mp3 work properly?

MP3 players can only play music files in mp3 file format. You can download mp3 music files from the Internet to your computer and then copy them to your MP3 player using the USB cable. For your CD collection, you need to convert your CDs to mp3 music files onto your computer or download them from the Internet and then copy them to your MP3 player after you have connected the USB cable to the MP3 player and the computer.
You can do this using Windows Media player and Rip the CDs - Media Player will create a MP3 music file for each music track. Click on this link for instruction on converting music files to mp3 file format :- http://www.fixya.com/support/r5798418-creating_transferring_mp3_music_files

Can't find the music folder

Try switching your mp3 player on whilst plugged into your computer. Many mp3 players need that done. When you switch it on you'll get the option to connect to your computer. Verify that then away you go. Hope this helped

Problem viewing recently added songs

Move those songs to the My Music folder, and they will all be in the same place on your computer. Switch to Auto USB mode instead of MTP - the hidden music folder should become visible.

No music

Make sure the DRM license on the music files has not recently expired. If the music service subscription from which they came from has expired, the songs will not be usuable until you renew the subscription - this is the cold new reality of the Mp3 world.
