If the MP3 Upgrade Tool doesn't detect your player, then chances are that your player might use a different chipset - such as Sunplus or Sigmatel based board.

The MP3 Upgrade Tool will only work with ACTIONS chipped based players.

trotro , open your player, what is the chipset's number (eg ATJ2085, ATJ2091, ATJ2097, etc)?

Tuuling23 , if your player is working properly, do not do any firmware upgrades as it would most likely brick your player. Sigmatel players once bricked are extremely hard to recover and usually need to be sent back to the manufacturer to reset.

Tuuling23 , what do you mean by "different bit rate" songs? Are you referring to VBR mp3s? Some players are unable to play VBR encoded mp3s properly, so i'll suggest you re-encode these files to a fixed bitrate like 128 or 192kbps.

For video files, you'll need to encode it to the required screen size, codec, fps as set by the player.

For video files, you'll need to encode it to the required screen size, codec, fps as set by the player.

so all those required things should be written in manual right?

maybe i have accedently deleted some files.... can this be a problem?
