Having trouble with a rca lyra mp3 player

Is the audiobook recorded as a CD or is it MP3? Not all CD players can handle MP3.

What i do is i never put songs in my internal memory...this way you never have to worry about formating the internal memory....so i have several exteral card i use say one for country or rock and its so easy to format a exteral card just place it in ur card reader if ur using a laptop them go to my computer right click on ur card that youll find then youll notice on the list theres format so its so easy...im sure its asking you to format ur drive because you must have a few corrupted files....best of all when adding music just pull ur external card out place it in a reader fill ur card with music then insert it back in ur device...this way ur getting away with using any firmware....by the way take any disc that came with ur Lyra and chuck it in the garbage that 90 percent of all ur problems

Do you have the RCA LYRA PEARL, with the folding out usb plug? RCA has made bunch of different mp3 players and has reused the LYRA and the PEARL name. Mine has both names on it, and the firmware file below is for model numbers TC- or TH-1602 or 1604.

One time I replaced my battery and my unit would not go any further than the Pearl logo. So, I downloaded the firmware upgrade from http://voxrightnow.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/2243/related/1, and followed all the troubleshooting instructions that popup when you start the program:

start the program,
remove the battery,
hold the play button while plugging into usb,
release the play button the the term "initalizing" replaces "searching",
check the box that says "format data" (you can try it first without this checked, it may work and will save your music),
click the start button to replace the firmware.

After I did this, my pearl started normally, and my computer recognized it again.

RCA 5 DISK CD PLAYER AND RADIO CANT HERE MUSIC LIGHTS COME ON CD PLAYS BUT NO SOUND.

HELP

Try going to Wal-Mart, Radio Shack, Circuit City, Best Buy, or Kmart and ask them for new accessories including the instruction manual.

Hi,

You can download here from RCA.

I have the same one. I transfer all my songs to Windows Media Player and save them to a playlist on it. I go to the sync mode on Windows Media Player, click and drag my playlist, and start sync. Depending on how fast your modem is, it should take anywhere between 2-5 minutes.

mp3 player says the file system is corrupt

If you go on to rca.com and type in MC5102 you will get the support page and the mp3 player does not suppord windows vista

It sounds like your Friend,Try to load something to your Player,Take the model 3 and make and Put it in the Browser and look for the Proper Software For it you might lose the music you have on it,But at least,It will Work
