Default 2GB MP4 player only has 974Mb capacity & cant play mp3s.

Hi, i'm new here. I have a problem with my mp4 & googled for it & wound up here.

I bought a 2GB Nano clone MP4 player off ebay recently.

I received the player & it only detected the drive as 1mb. So using the info from other posts from this forum I used the mp3 player format tool to encrypt & unencrypt the unit & managed to recover 974Mb of capacity.

So I'm concluding that my mp4 only has a 1Gb chip in it that has 974Mb of true formatted storage capacity. I accept that it only has this capacity.

My real problem is: the mp4 wont even play any mp3s i put in it! The unit turns on ok, menu items; games are accessible etc. I enter the music menu & it says there are no files detected & returns to the main menu. ATM as far as I know it is only working as a normal flash drive.....an expensive one at that!

It's not exactly a dead player, but would I have to extract & reflash the firmware? Do you guys think it would even fix the problem? Anyone else encountered this problem & have any other ideas for a fix?

Any help would greatly be appreciated!!
