During my formating of my xtatix pocket candy mp3 player, this message came up "Semaphore Time out period has expired" what does this mean, and what should i do to fix it.
Thanks for your reply, but i've tried all that. Sometimes i get the message my mp3 has malfunctioned, other times it just does not come up. After a first, in a long time memory recovery came up, and then i went to reformat my mp3, the mp3 was finally founded on my hardware, but during the reformat state, when the bars start loading up , and it says do not take out your mp3, about 75% of the way, this message came up error:
Semaphore Time out period has expired.For some reason the mp3 virus check thing is not working neither.

That's a pretty opaque error message without any more information; if the error repeats itself when you retry, you might try formatting on a different USB port, or without your webcam or whatever running, until things are so simple it just works...or proves that its software is going awry. Try again after rebooting your PC or another PC and see if it's the same in that case....
If that fails, maybe reinstall or update the player's software, or run an antivirus, or convince your antivirus you really mean to format.That's a pretty opaque error message without any more information; if the error repeats itself when you retry, you might try formatting on a different USB port, or without your webcam or whatever running, until things are so simple it just works...or proves that its software is going awry.

It means the Digital Rights to the song have expired.
From Sony's site:
"This issue may occur if the license for the track you are trying to play has expired on the device. If you currently subscribe to a music subscription service, connect the device and sign into the account to refresh your license to allow for playback. You may need to do this once during each billing period to listen to the subscription music you have transferred. If you are no longer a subscriber to the service where you downloaded the file from, you can delete the song from your portable player to prevent this error from occurring each time you try to play the song back."
hi, If the message appears that your license has expired for some songs, then it means that you have purchased the music online(or free trial) only for a particular period of time (say 2 weeks). after that particular time, you have to purchase the music from the online store where you got it. The rules change according to different countries. Please specify your country to know more and give me a good rating of you find this advice as helpful!
If you got your songs from a music service, especially Rhapsody, the songs have a fixed-term DRM license on them. After a certain period of time - sometimes as little as 3 days - you have to resynchronize the songs to the music service from where you got the songs. If you let your music service subscription lapse, then the songs will not be usable until you renew your subscription. This process of resynchronizing the songs to the music service does not always go smoothly. Sometimes synchronizing through Rhapsody or another service does not resolve your issue - in this case, you will have to go through the long, tedious process of deleting the affected songs off of your player and reloading them - either through the music service or through Windows Media Player.
If you never want to deal with this problem again, the solution is to only download songs that are in mp3 format. Mp3 files do not expire once your music service subscription has expired, and they do not give you strange messages to resynchronize the files.
That error code means that the mp3 player is having a problem retrieving digital rights to the songs you have attempted to load.
The license on the songs that you are trying to download either does not permit transfer to mp3 players - or the license has expired. Use mp3 format songs only, and you will never have this problem. You can read my "Tips & Tricks" article on song formats if you really want more detailed information.

The music files that you have transferred are in WMA format - when your music svc subscription expires, or the licenses on them expire, then you will get this annoying message. Convert the files to mp3 format, and you will never have that problem again.
You have to keep your music service subscription up to date, or it will give you that message as soon as the subscription expires. I convert all of my songs to mp3 format, so I never get that message.
You will have to either renew your music service subsription, or convert the song to mp3 format. all WMA files have a license - if it is expired, you will get this message.
I think there is a bug in the newest formatting software for Muvo TX. I tried the firmware MuVoV200_PCFW_LF_1_12_03.exe, which is for another model (Muvo 200) and it seems to work on my Muvo TX
The writing message may appear for a good forty minutes after completing the firmware upgrade - make sure your player is fully charged and just let it sit for an hour on that writing status - it will stop eventually.
Thanks for your reply, but i've tried all that.
