I have mistakenly formatted my samsung yp-u2 mp3 player. Now even though I have music files in it, they juz can't be recognized and played by my player. Is there anywhere i could download the original format again?

MP3 players can only play music files in mp3 file format.You can download mp3 music files from the Internet toyour computer and then copy them to your MP3 player using the USB cable.For your CD collection, you need to convert your CDs tomp3 music files onto your computer or download them from the Internet and thencopy them to your MP3 player after you have connected the USB cable tothe MP3 player and the computer.
You can do this using Windows Media player and Rip the CDs - Media Player willcreate a MP3 music file for each music track.Click on this link for instruction on converting musicfiles to mp3 file format :- http://www.fixya.com/support/r5798418-creating_transferring_mp3_music_files

If you formatted it then you wiped all the music off it. Did you reload the music back on to it?
I hope I have been of help but please do not hesitate to ask if you have any further questions.
I appreciate your vote if you appreciate my reply.

Thanx i though I had killed it such a simple solution

Did it on Ubuntu with Disks and there it is called FAT16 in case anyone tries to do this on Linux too

Go to this site ...select the exact model of your YP-U2 ...cause there are about 3 different series..and when you know for sure your model ...select it from the tab ...Than select firmware ..and download the firmware software ..connect the device by the cable ..and reinstall the firmware into the unit..
This should bring it back if you formatted it from the computer and delete the firmware ..
If the firmware is not deleted...that just reconnect it to the computer and look for it into My computer folder...You should see it like a removable device ...open the folder and copy into it files with music (mp3 files) ...after that will have the music in it again ..

You don't need that actually. The computer will just recognized this as removable drive. Open up My Computer then plug the device on USB port, then it will pop up as removable/additional drive. Explore, then goto folder or file folder usually MUSIC folder or where you put the music files.

You can drag and drop MP3 files and delete it. Software dismount it and take off and you are ready to play it.

Hope this helps you.

Can't open what? the files? they might be in a bad format, one the player won't, well, play

Check whether u formatted your player to NTFS rather than FAT32.

Just do a reformat, and this time, in the FAT32 format.

You might have formatted it to NTFS. Try reformatting it to FAT.

And if the device is getting recognized on ur PC, ur USB port might be damaged. If not, u might need to go to the CC again.
