labroi2007, Sounds like you bought your players from "hailitele" one of the biggest scammers on ebay. Your player only have 1GB of storage but the memory modules has been modified so that they reads as 8GB. Any songs over the true 1GB of the memory chip become corrupt because they are written to memory that does not really exist. It is not possible to restore the chip to it's fake 8GB but it would not be a good idea anyway.

One of the problems with hacked players is that due to the corrupted files eventually the player will crash and the firmware will become corrupted. When this happens the player will no longer function or be detected when connected to your PC.
Once this happens there is very little that can be done to fix the player.

Whilst I know how dissapointed your kids must be the best thing you can do is remove the memory hack from the other 8GB player as well. At least you will then have two 1GB players that should work without any problems rather than one 1GB player that works fine and one 8GB player that has crashed and no longer operates.

The information given by the supplier about 8GB being compressed memory for data storage and only 1GB recordable capacity (Which will be displayed in small print somewhere on the auction page) is all bullshit to cover his arse should you file a complaint with ebay or paypal. There is no such thing as compressed memory the guy is a crook.
