Well you fixed the problem. I went to the Online mode changed it to Normal, removed the partion using the Disk Manager Tool by scrolling all the way to the left on the partion bar. Reformated the disk and low and behold my 8GB player is only a 1GB player. Buyers be ware on some of these deals. Loaded all the test files you gave me and they all work fine. Just different zooming. :P

I opened up the back cover as you asked to verify the memory and came up with a HYNIX HY27UF081G2M - Yep 1GB of Memory. Man I was taken (thought I had the steal of the century on an 8GB). :roll: But only paid 350RMB or $44 US. Still not a bad deal. This was actually kind of fun investigating this now that we figured it all out. Thank you for your awesome help!

The next time I go to China and pick up another MP3 player how can you easily tell it is a hacked 8GB drive?
