Only plays first few seconds of a song

normally when you go to the setting and then go to music then power up song you can change what song plays when the ipod turns on. hope this helps. if it doesnt im sorry :(

maybe they got corrupted try putting them on the music player again or try getting the same songs but diff versions of the file and you could try last to convert the songs to a diff format then put them on the player if its the the same songs on both the players that wont play then its the songs and not the player

well it seems you deleted your songs but not the titles. weird huh but that happened to me too. so hook it up to your computer, go to " my computer", and then right the icon that is your device, and then click format and that should take care of that.

Do you have it set on SHUFFLE? That may be the problem - SHUFFLE will play songs randomly instead of in order.
You can tell if it is in SHUFFLE mode when you look at the screen between the battery ICON and the PLAY ICON -
Press the top right button until there is nothing between those two icons.

hi there, open iriver again and take new drive out (reinstall hard drive, just an adjustment process). close it up and try to download / play a file.
now if this process dont work, save iriver software to pc and format the hard drive (this will erase the hard drive songs and all)..now reinstall the software from the pc...download your songs back to iriver and you should have a brand new Iriver ihp-140............if heplful feel free to rate

well since you copied your files..........now copy the iriver software (hidden too) and paste to a temp file (folder) on pc...fortmat the 320 now place the software back onto it from the temp file........and put 2 or 3 songs unto it also (to make sure it was done correct)..press play if all is well...include all your files back on to it.......a little bit late but feel free to rate the help

whenever my iriver h300 is turned on, i get this message 'check hdd connection' while the device is booting. although i had over 2000 songs and 400 folders, the device now shows 0000 (zeros) for both songs and folders. i guess they cant be accessed anymore. how do i get around this problem

1. if your player is not working properly just reset it by using paper clip on the hole and press down the player will turn off then try again

Backup the h340 to your pc, format the h340 hdd and reload it, refresh database.

Tried new set of head phones? My DAD fixed cars and always said to fix the cheapest part that might be haywire first.
