Dell Desktop running Windows XP Home Edition. My new Opal M4008 is not recognized. Reloaded software and spent hours on the website. When I move it from the front USB port to the rear USB port, the unit is recognized by conflicts with something and hangs the computer.

Help really appreciated!

my computer says that it doesnt' recognize the usb, and hence my M4004 won't charge. I've only had it for 3 days now : (

My Opal used to charge, sync, and do everything right. But now, after I reset it, my computer won't read it at all. Ive tried multiple computers and no USB ports will work. I dont understand.

Player is not recognized by any computers

Try downloading the software and/or drivers for it before connecting it to your pc. If you no longer have the disk that came with it - go to the manufacturers website and download them there. Don't connect it to your pc until the software is installed. The computer won't recognize it until the software and/or drivers are installed.

My player won't recognize music files on my computer

Your player is mp3 , that means it can only play mp3 files . Did you check the format of the music files on your computer before you download them to your mp3 ? They must be mp3 format also , otherwise they can not be played on your mini device . If they are not mp3 files , then you need to convert them before you download them to mp3 format before you download them to your mp3 player . If the files on your computer are in mp3 format , then the problem is in the software of your mp3 player . To fix software problem of your mini device , you need to update it's software . Updating software must be available on the manufacturer website .
good luck .

MP3 Player not recognizing Real Player Video Files

That Opal's Easy Rip Software does not recognize Real Video format naturally. You may have to download a free program called Riva FLV Encoder to convert the Real Video files to AVI format. Once they are in AVI format, the Easy Rip software will recognize the file and convert them to your player. If you have lost your installation CD, you can get the Easy Rip software from:

Down loading songs

RCA's website has the software/manual that you need if you lost the CD
Use Windows Media Player to transfer music and delete songs
As far as downloading songs, you can sign up for a wide number of music services - each one has a different download method, and the company website will explain how to use it. The problem with this RCA player is that it was tied to Yahoo!'s Musicmatch Jukebox svc, which was cancelled in October 2007, so you will have to find another music service. Some music services will recognize the RCA player directly, and you can use their svc to download the songs directly to your player. Other services you will have to download the songs first, and then transfer them to the RCA using Windows Media Player afterwards.
