2gb is actually 2gb
 

i got a 2gb player from ebay and it actually is 2gb i have not had a problem with it yet and have filled it up with my music (now converted to wma) but can fill all of it up. witch is great. showing that not all sellers on ebay are selling fakes. there are legit ones to. and also i only had to play 40pounds for mine compaired to buying it in one of the online stores:)

pyro, thats good news, I am sure there are many genuine sellers on ebay we just generally only hear about the bad ones, 40 quid sounds like a pretty good buy as well. Don't forget to backup your firmware for safty and if you get time upload it to site. Enjoy your player :)

I have a 4gb thats really 4gb =]

Hey Spawn_20240 - have you opened up your player and seen what you have on the inside? Have you loaded up the player to full capacity and played all the songs? The 4GB's dont exist yet, I know someone who has connections with manufacturers do I know directly when they will be out.

Re: 2gb is actually 2gb
 

Ive loaded 535mb of music and 2 small vids. It says i have 3.46GB left. I dont think im going to open it soon. =) everything i open breaks.

Spawn_20240,

(make sure you backup the files you want to keep first).

Try to FORMAT your player using the "Disk Tool" as part of the MP3 Player Utilities. When you format it, make sure you use "Low" format and on the "partition/encryption" tab at the top, change it to say "0MB" otherwise you might have problems with partitions and encryptions to your disk after the format.

After the low format, check how much disk space is free now. This will give you a much better indication as to how much disk space is on your player.

i dont know if i want to :roll:

how much gb is ur mp4,

Re: 2gb is actually 2gb
 

You'll have to format eventually.... :wink:

It's best to find out now than later on.
It's very difficult to find a legit 4GB MPx player(not trying to put a damper on your purchase).

I only have a 1GB player.
I will be getting a 2GB soon, but want to wait alittle till they are more common.

There are sellers out there boasting a "8 GB" player, but we know it doesn't exist at the moment and certainly not for the USD$100 it's selling it for as well.

4GB players are not as common either unfortunately.

Re: 2gb is actually 2gb
 

What would be easier, open it or format..?



I used Normal Format thats not good enough =-0

i read if its a fake
If a chip is stated as having 1gigaBIT .....(in manufacturer white paper), this is actually equal to 128 true mb. SO....
2 gigaBIT=256mb,
3 gigaBIT=384mb,
4 gigaBIT= 512mb,
8 gigaBIT = 1024mb or 1 true gigaBYTE.
....

I put 530mb++ on it already


Atleast you say theres some legit 4gb =-0 rare...

btw..--Disk Tool- do i download?

MP3 Player Disk Tool is part of the MP3 Player Utilities when you install it.

Try using that to format your player.

There is an option for "low" format.

I cant format using Disk Tool im getting an error

Spawn_20240

What's the error?
Have you tried formatting it from Windows Explorer as well?

Re: 2gb is actually 2gb

Can you create another post for your problem? It's starting to pull away from the original topic.

I just made some 500mb zip files and copied them to the player. Then copied them back to the pc and tested them. They where corrupted. :( Mine was listed as a 4 gig also but turned out to me 2gb.
