why is all the music that i added are not in the list?
 

Hello Guyz... Im new here and Thank god i found this site and hoping that it could help me figure out some problems bout my MP4 tat my friend gave to me.

Actually this unit is new and I'm just wondering why is it that all the music that i added are not in the list... My MP4 does not have a brand either. I can only provide the version

ACT2097_S75
2006/09/06
9.0.48
2006/09/12

i saw some posts that is somehow similar to my version...
right now the unit is fine but i am wondering what more can i get from this? and oh by the way about my problem also the music not found in the list.. what could possibly be the problem by that? hope someone could help me..
thanks!

TYRO,

Can you explain alittle more about your problem with the music you add not displaying on the list?

What size memory is your player?
How many songs have you copied onto your player? Do you have them in folders? If you don't, majority of the players can only hold *99* songs in one folder maximum, so if you have more than that, it won't show up. You can create more folders and put them in folders instead as an alternative.

thank you very much for your prompt reply.
I have a 2GB MP4.
And i dont see folders in it. right now im connected to my office computer. do i have to create folders?
by the way, i formatted the MP4 here, is that just right? The folders are lost and what i did is i just copy the pix & songs directly to drive G: which is the MP4, without any folders. Right now i have 180 music stored just that.
Again thanks for teh quick reply. A pleasant day and hope you could help more. God bless!

would like to clarify that again...

I copy the music from my computer then paste them all in Drive G: (MP4) without any folder.

hope i made it clear.?

TYRO,

Copying directly to the MP4 player with any folders is fine, it should play it (well, the first 99 songs at least).

When you turn on your player and choose "Music" from the main menu, do you see the songs on there? Also do you see the songs if you choose "Photos/Pictures" from the main menu?

I dont see the songs, but i see the pictures that i transferred (PC to MP4). by the way, you have mentioned that the maximum songs per folder is 99. Is that regardless of each songs' size?

I do this... I click on the Music Menu. Then the 1st song title appears. Then I click the menu button and i will find 4 options (Local Folders, Delete File, Delete all and Exit)

I will try to reformat the unit here again. Then ill create folder that may contain 99 songs each. and ill advise what happened.

ill wait for any additional infos i do appreciate it a lot.

TYRO , it maybe possible that your player might not support file browsing, so all you can see is only the Folders appearing in the player and not the Filenames appearing.

I have reformatted my MP4 already..
I have created 4 Folders now...
A-J, K-T and U-Z and Audiobook folders.
what i noticed here is that the audiobook folder does not appear and the U-Z folder.
And some music from K-T folder dont work at all

A-J has 77 songs (all good)
K-T has 88 songs (9 songs dont work, it restarts)
U-Z and Audiobook missing.
What am I suppose to do?

When i click on the menu it's like this:

Menu button/Local Folders, Delete File, Delete all and Exit

Local Folders/RootFolder and the list of songs

When I Click the Root Folder it will lead me to another window... its like this..

Local Folder
*ROOT
*A-J
*K-T

what do you mean by it is not supported by file browsing? gud day!

TYRO, i could be wrong as this is just an observation. Assuming that you've copied the files over and they all seemed to have copied ok, but when you go to the players file browser (which you do have by the way) the following folders 'U-Z' and 'Audiobook' are missing. The problem could be that the player has been hacked?
My reasoning is after you've copied the files, it appears that only enough real files have been added to your player but not the rest. Meaning you have filled its true available memory.
Of course this is just an assumtion and may not be your problem.
'Low Level' Format the player again using the Mp3 Player Disk Utility and try adding the folders with your music in them once more.

Im a bit frustrated when i hear something has been hacked... just kidding.
Question is..
how can i format it to a Low Level? do i need the CD to set it to low level? hmm..
is it wrong to format by Right-Clicking the Drive then select Format?
Do you think its one of the causes?
Ill try the CD format first then tomorrow ill come back and try it... my sched here at work is finished and maybe is my boss saw me doing this. he'll kick my butt.
