Here is some Information I found on this player.
I was also stupid enough to think that the newer ones were advertised more honestly WRONG.
Its my belief that these are also only 2gb.
However here is how to get files on it that play correctly.
Format the player to Fat32
Now boot the player and use my computer to view the directories, You probably wont see anything except a blank drive.
Add Directories to the player starting with MUSIC then inside MUSIC, make sub Folders.
Like: Music
Album1
Album2
Album3
Now you can fill the Sub Folders with songs up to about 2gb.
NOTE the Folders will NOT show up on the MP3 until you add a song to them. Although they do show in my computer.
The Sub Folders will be in Alphabetical order.

Important: This player recognizes the order that you install the sub folders and songs into it. In other words The first sub folder that you put in with a song will be the first in the mp3 player. The last will be the last when viewing the MP3 player screen.
So if you use the following example:
Menu, Album1, Album2, Album3
Then you copy songs into Album1, then 2 then 3 all will be ok. You can also copy the albums with songs into the player.
If you later add Album4 all is ok, but if you add Album2A it will be the last in the mp3 player order after Album4. NOT in Alphabetical order. It will however show in my computer in Alphabetical order.
You can add videos the same way. First make a Videos Directory than add something in it, otherwise it will not show up. The same for all the menu titles.
If you do this in this order it will work correctly.

NOTE: If you go much over 2gb you will get a blue screen with a black rectangle when you try to play the songs that occupy the over 2gb limit.
More: If you go over 2gb you may get double triple or more entries in your directories as viewed with my computer, but on the MP3 you only see one file and you really only have 1 file.
More: When copying files onto the mp3 remember that the order is the order they show in the mp3 player. I copied a audio book from my computer to the mp3 by selecting select all but when it copied it started with the last file and thats the order its shows on the mp3 but in my computer it shows correct. There is a way to do that also, start by clicking the last file then with ctrl delete select the first then when copying they will copy starting with the first to the last.

9/05/09 More: Today I did a low level format as per the instructions on this site and set the encrypted partition to 0 and now I get a 4gb drive in the disk utilities program, although windows still reports it to be 8gb after formatting.
PROBLEM: Now I get disk error even though I can put songs on the player and play them from my computer the mp3 player doesnt work anymore. So Don't do the LL format.
