Folders on iRiver mp3 player can't be removed...help!

ok, plug it into the pc and run iriver plus 3, if you dont have it, you can download it from the iriver website.
then you connect the iriver.
then open tools>Portable Device>Disk Initialization..
this should format your iriver and give it default settings.

hope this helps you!

just take it all msic off and then paste it back on and it goes in alphebetical order
hope this helps

try an upgrade

All the best

Thanks for using Fixya

well...
the simplest player is windows media player 11 cos it sorts out all your songs into folders...
if your wanting to see the actual folders use iriver plus 3, it comes in the pack with the iriver. however the program is slow and doesnt work as effectively as wmp11.

Try making a new folder, under the same name as the ones lost, or missing. Since the X20 is flash memory based, you may have had some of your data go randomly corrupt. You MAY have to start things over. Sorry! Good Luck!

try and view hidden files...
it depends wat the folder is...
it might be a system folder, in which case you'd be better to just ignore it

i got the same promb! help!

Same problem on a 2GB x20 I just bought. Easy to get things into the device, but nothing recognized as playlist either using iriver plus3 or Media Player.

If running Windows XP, install Media Player 10 and it will recognize it.

Plug in your Mp3 player
Double-click My Computer
Double click the icon corresponding to your iRiver
Double click the music folder
Right click the desktop, select "new," and select "folder" - create a folder named "Temporary iRiver Backup" (or whatever name you want to give to the folder)
Start dragging files from "My Computer" window to "temporary IRiver backup" window

There are other ways, but this is one good way.
