Lost cd to insignia player 1gb

make sure that the songs that you uploading with your mp3 player is mp3 format, not wma or other, maybe your are loading a format that your player cant recognize.

try using another usb port my macbook sometimes doesn't recognize my USB ports.

Or you could use parallels and run windows

look and see if there is a boot file in one of the folder on the player. If there is delete this file....This file gets put on the player when booting your computer with the player connected..The player is trying to read this file and can't ...Disconnect player when booting system Hope this works.....rate me

I'm not very knowledgeable about these things, but is there a way I can email you the files you need?

Same problem here. I put videos on it and wont recognize them. The few that do get recognized wont play because the player says that it cant read the file or it is not playable.

Hey Danwwill,

If you've lost the program installation CD, you should be able to find the files available for download through Insignia's support website for this model:

http://www.insignia-products.com/p-225-insignia-2gb-mp3-player-black.aspx

This page should have links for the necessary hardware drivers and Rhapsody Music Player as well.

Alternatively, you may be able to obtain a physical replacement disc by contacting Insignia directly at their toll-free hotline: 877-467-4289.

Hope this helps you out.

Sincerely,
Aaron

The file extension is usually *.avi on Insignia players. So try renaming the file.

my screen is not working it all black . the screen is broke

Okay...here we go!

1) Back up all your files on the player.
2) Re-format the player in windows as either FAT16 or FAT32 (no this will not remove the OS firmware).
3) Place your files back onto the player.

The volatile memory on these units can become corrupted if your USB connection is underpowered, split too many times, or has a few devices also drawing power.

This should fix your problem.

Good luck!
