hi Rillee,

it should usually play mp3...anyway try converting mp3 to wma using "Free mp3 wma converter". Download from this link...

I actually formatted my player and tried playing the mp3 and it worked

I agree with Ashwin,

The "Format error" error usually means either:.

1. You've run out of space on player (sometimes, hacked players will display more free space than that is actually in the player).

2. The files are corrupt. If you can play them on your computer, then it should play find on your player.

Try removing some mp3 songs and then try playing the mp3s that you couldn't play before and see if that works.

I suggest a format would help, but be warned that you might get a nasty surprise and loose storage space, but then again, a format will tell you the TRUE memory storage of your player if it has been 'hacked'.
