Is your device connected directly to the PC, not thru a hub? Is it a laptop? Do you have Windows XP / SP 2? Do you have Windows Media Player 10 or higher?

Hi,

Sounds like faulty code written in the mp3 player, not much you can do except back up the data and format the mp3, but it's risky and a last resort, try it on another pc, could be you OS is buggy ie bad usb driver, etc

Thanks,

Adam.

How do i put music onto my mp3 player

Hey tofast88,

While the preferred method to load music onto an MP3 player may differ from model to model, most MP3 players will feature the ability to upload music using a "drag-and-drop" method.

Normally, this can be done by opening the folders that contain your music library and accessing the MP3 player's hard drive by navigating through the "My Computer" option:

My Computer > Removable Devices

Simply click on the files that you want to transfer to your MP3 player, drag them over to the icon that represents the player itself, and drop them into that folder.

Again, please keep in mind that this method will not work with every MP3 player available - some players require special software that must be downloaded or installed onto your computer from a CD that was included in the original factory packaging.

Hope this helps you out.

Sincerely,
Aaron

I can't download music from my computer to my InVion 256MB MP3/WMA/REC. Do I need something special? Computer says it recognizes new hardware but I have'nt been able to download music

Are you getting a specific error message when you try to transfer songs? Does it look like they are transferrring, and then do not play? Are you just looking for the program that you would use to transfer songs? I would suggest Windows Media Player. Is iTunes your music service? If so, they will not work with this mp3 player.

You can also drag and drop the Mp3 or WMA files from Windows Explorer:
Try this - connect your mp3 player to computer --> double-click on My Computer --> double-click on the icon of the mps player --> double-click on the music folder --> drag and drop the music files to a folder/desktop of your own choosing

Check the format of the song - this player will play mp3 or wma, but if your wma's do not have "transfer rights" then you cannot transfer them to this or any other player.

Can not add music

You cant drag and drop from Windows Media Player or Real Player, you have to go to the location on your computer where the audio files are stored *example - 'My Music' folder under 'My Document', copy and paste the songs from that location. Make sure the audio files are MP3 or Unprotected Windows Media Audio files as that is all this unit accepts.

Downloading music

Oh.. If I know that mp3 player, it's a USB2 type (Where you plug it directly into your computers open USB slot).

I could list alot of sites where you can buy songs, but if you have some on your computer, It's just a drag-and-drop situation.

Running Windows XP? Drivers should automatically enable it to run from your system. Try doing the following.

Open "My Computer" after plugging the player in. If you see it, you can just grab a song from your collection and drop it straight into the player.

Also Media player might be able to sync your music, but I prefer this method... Less of a hassle.
