VRCD500 USB ERROR 13

If you expect the music files on the flash drive you plugged into the USB port to start playing by themselves, good luck with that. You have to open a media player application (say Windows Media Player), open the removable disk that is your flash drive from within the application, select an .MP3 file from the flash drive and play it.

Check that your system is compatible with the file. You may have to convert files.

Make sure that the music files are indeed mp3 format. An iPod will play several different formats but most av head units only play mp3. A lot of the songs that are downloaded from iTunes are actually mp4

Hi

Well it all depends on what you want to do. Do you want to take the music from a cd and put it on your Mp3 player, or do want to directly download music tracks from the internet on to your Mp3 player. If you want to get music from a cd onto your Mp3 player, you will first need copy your cd with windows media player or another cd playing software. You will need to change the format into "Mp3" format by "ripping" it. "Ripping" a CD is basically copying music to your computer.
After you have the files properly formatted on your hard drive, you can remove the drive from your mp3 player and plug it into a "usb" port on your computer. You then go to your hard drive, find the files you copied, making sure they are in the proper format,and then move them to the drive of your Mp3 player.

OK lets say you want to download music directly from the internet. You need to see if any special software is required to assist in the downloading process. Normally you wont need any. You just hook up your device to a "usb" port, go to your settings and look for "usb mode" or connect. With some devices you wont need to do anything, because they will automatically be detected as a removable hard drive.

Next you will need to find out where the files will be stored. Depending on which music download vendor you choose, some will allow you to buy one track at a time, if this is the case you can download one track and see where on your device the file was stored, and then proceed to buy further tracks and choose the same location to store them. If not, the files can be stored in different locations and the device will find them once you disconnect from the port.

Downloading music to your Mp3 player is easy and fun. Depending upon the capacity of your Mp3 players hard drive or flash drive you can store hundreds of music tracks, giving you hours of listening pleasure. Once you download music for the first time you will find out how easy it is. You can visit my web site, and choose from a variety of the top music download vendors, many offering free music.

Thanks.

Only if your hi-fi supports such devices or if there is a port to plug it in. Check also the Hi-FI user manual.

try a 1 or 2gb drive that sold solve your problem cuz its meant too OR SHOULD hold up too 2gb cuz 4gb is a HIGH CAPACITY DRIVE

take the radio out the dash drive to taget or where you bought it and throw it threw the front window paying to fix the window will cost them more than this piece of ****

You cannot use the iTunes service to add the songs directly, because iTunes will only accept brand name iPods within the software itself.

You will need to use Windows Media Player to transfer the songs to your iLo player. All of the info about transferring songs in Windows Media Player can be found in the help files for Windows Media Player, but if you insist I will cut/paste/summarize the directions here for your perusal.
