Hi everyone.

I bought a new mp4 player from ebay, and, you guessed it, from China.

I've had no end of the problems in getting it to work. First, I transfer files and it seems to only allow 156 songs. So I open up the folder, and I find one particular song has been cloned over about 500 times, filling a lot of the disk space.

I reformatted, and now with some files I'm getting "Format Error".

Worse still, is I'm told it can play mpg and avi files. So I transfer a few across. Turns out that it can't, and I'm after a format called mpx.

I look around the CD I'm given, and all there is is an amv converter, which is of no use at all. The manual, though badly written, says I need MPX MAKE and PIC MAKE to get the damn thing to work. Eventually, I find both. But they say I need a serial.

I'm at my wits end. I contacted the seller to no avail. If anyone could provide a mpx converter, or a serial to mpx make (which I SHOULD have got on my CD) I'd be most grateful. As it stands, the mp4 player is just a shiny little pointless black box.
