MP3 newbie I purchased a MyMusix MP3 player PD-6110. It doesn't have software with it the guide says: connect the device, double click my computer and you will find a new icon "Removable disk" which represents your music player. When I do this there is no "removable disk" icon. There's nothing. What did I do wrong? I'm not very techie but even I can plug the device in :) Any suggestions? Thank you.....

i need to know how to take songs off my mp3.
can you help me

Make sure the lock is not engaged, and that you have reset the machine.

There are two ways to format an Mp3 player - one on the computer itself, and one in Windows Media Player. Both methods will end up erasing all the songs on the player, but the player will be "good as new" after that. Sometimes reformatting in this manner will override the player's native formatting and cause problems - this can be reversed in most cases by updating the player's firmware. Firmware upgrades are available from most manufacturers' websites.

WARNING: The following procedures will erase all songs on the player.

Check if the file system is NTFS. If yes, format it to FAT or FAT32. - Connect player to computer, double-click my computer, right click on icon of mp3 player and select format. This only applies to Windows-based computers.
You can also format the player in Windows Media Player itself:
Connect your Mp3 player to the computer and open Windows Media Player. Click on the Sync tab. Pull down the drop down menu underneath the Sync tab by moving your cursor over the Sync tab and left clicking on the little black arrow underneath the Sync tab. Highlight "name of Mp3 player here 1GB" (wording may vary slightly), and then select "Format." - this should erase everything.

This might be a tricky one to solve - may take more than one method.
Start by resetting the player. Then replugging it into the computer.
If it still fails:
Uninstall the PD-6030 via device manager. The PD-6030 needs to plugged in to do this. Go to Start, Control Panel and select 'Performance an Maintenance'. Then Select 'System'. Then select the 'Hardware Tab' and select 'Device Manager'. Then find a device called 'Portable Devices' or 'Windows Portable Device'. Then select the + sign next to the device and right click the 'Audio Player'. Select 'Uninstall'. Click 'OK' when it asks you if it is OK to uninstall. Then select 'Action' at the top of the Window and select 'Scan for hardware changes'. Then once it re-installs the driver, see it operates
correctly. Also, performing a firmware recovery procedure can work to make your computer recognize the PD-6030. Please follow the set of instructions titled, "Q: How to recover my player's firmware?".

Only follow the advice I am about to give if you have read the company's website/manual and done troubleshooting with them first. This is complicated and is more of a last resort sort of thing:

Unplug the mp3 player, uninstall the MTP Device on your computer, and then replug the Mp3 player. Start --> Control Panel --> Printers and Other Hardware --> System --> Hardware --> Device Manager --> click on plus sign next to Windows Devices (wording varies from computer to computer - click on every plus sign if you can't find it) --> double-click on MTP Device --> Uninstall

you neeed to go to my computer and right click on the Mp3 and click format, if you don't your Mp3 will just stop working that is what happend to me

Unfortunately, your files must have gotten corrupt. This issue is most prevalent if you disconnect the mp3 before it has completed the transfer of songs.

To fix it, format the mp3 by plugging it into the USB port, right clicking the drive that is displayed and choosing "Format". This will remove all songs from the mp3 player. Afterward, you can re-add any songs that were lost. But make sure when disconnecting, you see no loading animation on the screen. Then right click the "Remove Hardware" icon on the bottom right of you screen, choose "Stop". Check again for a loading animation on the screen (if there is one, wait until it stops), and you can remove the mp3 from your USB port.

When you hook it up, you should see an icon on your computer for the MP3 player.
I download songs from iTunes to my MAC, then drag them to the MP3 player. However, they do not come from i'Tunes in a MP3 format. I found this on the internet for how to change the format:

When iTunes is open, find "preferences" and then locate "importing" (just look around on the different tabs till you find these, since Mac and Windows put them in different spots) tell it to import using MP3 encoder from the drop down bars, and say OK. now you can right click on the song you want to convert and select "convert to mp3".

Then drag the MP3 song to the MYMusix player icon and it should copy the song.

I solved this problem by:

1) First, uninstalling the device using the Device Manager. (I.e., control panel --> System icon --> Hardware tab --> Device Manager button. The device is located under Portable Devices. For me it had a name like MTP Device -- I don't recall the exact name. Right click on the device and select Uninstall from the pop-up menu.)

2) Second, I disconnected the player physically from the PC.

3) Third, I followed the PD-6070 FAQ page instructions (found at http://www.mymusix.com/) entitled Q: How to recover my player's firmware?

The PD-6070 player is now detected properly and my daughter is very happy!

MyMusix's PD-6030:
If you have a Windows-based computer,
Try this: disconnect the player from the computer, turn it off, hold in the volume + button, and reconnect the player to the computer while holding the volume + button in. Keep holding the volume + button for an additional 5-50 seconds. Windows should eventually go into recovery mode and revive the player- it will pop up a window that says Found New Hardware Wizard.

If that fails,
Check the battery polarity. (+ and - must be in correct psoition)
Set the hold button to the unlock position.
Check if the file system is NTFS. If yes ,format it to FAT or FAT32. - Connect player to computer, click my computer, right click on icon of mp3 player and select format
If that fails,
go to www.mymusix.com to see if the latest software update will correct the problem
