Rca h125pa my mp3 player turns on and ticks then it says files corrupted and freezes then i have to shut it down to make it go away.

HOW DO I DELETE A SONG

You can go to my computer, call up the correct drive you are using, click on a particular artist, right click on the file, and delete it.

Get the firmware upgrade from RCA's website:
http://support.rcaaudiovideo.com/select.aspx?u=manual

on page 26 of the manual it describes in detail how to save the playlist.
If this is not working the firmware may be corrupt and you will have to reload it

if you specify "corrupted" then i may be able to help what exactly happened?

I know my does that too.

I had the same problem and went through RCA support to get a solution which (to my surprise) actually worked. Here's what you need to do. Connect your USB cable to your computer but do not connect to your mp3. Hold down the toggle switch on the mp3 while turning it on. Then insert the other end of the USB cable to the mp3. This should allow your computer to recognize the mp3.
Now go to website: support.rcaaudiovideo.com (no www. prefix). Go to "software updates". Click on "mp3 players" a couple of times and then your model "H125". Then click on "H115 and H125 Lyra Hard Drive Upgrade Utility" and follow the directions from there.
Good luck!

I had same issue and found a law office that filed a class action against RCA/Thompson. Here is the result:
