So I put my MP3 files on the computer and it will only play one of the two albums. I can't skip to the next album. What is a fix for this?

The best answer I have is to make sure the audio files are in the proper format for your storage card. If they arr make sure they actually play on th computer, if thry do not play on the computer obviously they wont play on the device. Otherwise most likely the storage card isnt a match.

When i set up folders, I just put all of my separate artists folders into a single folder named Playlist and it played through everything. Try that and see if it works!

THe problem is you need to use folders for the songs. If you place too many songs on the root , there is a limitation on the total number of characters the file system can handle. Its a FAT filesystem limitation. I recommend putting your music together in folders for each album. That will fix it.

All audio files are mp3 and they play in a loop. So your greeting if loaded in a single file will take some time to come around.

my computer says the music is there but the mp3 player will not let me play it

All USB-A thumb drives have worked. Make sure they are formatted as FAT (mine are FAT32). Put one MP3 file on the drive, plug the drive into the box, switch the box input to USB and it should start playing automatically after it reads the contents of the drive. If you have a lot of songs/directories on the thumb drive, it can take a long time to read it.

Check the type of sound file you have downloaded. It will not play MP4 only MP3. I had to convert some of mine to get them to play. You will be able to see the type of file if you look at the disk contents in explorer.

It did that with my .wma files, but not the .mp3 files. It's supposed to be .wma compatible, but it's not.

I don't know as I only use one playlist. Didn't know that was an option. Will try it.

I did not facing this problem. I have more than 100 songs (mp3), and it working well.At first, I also wonder it will function correctly, so i have tried to press next/previous button then the songs is randomly changed.So, maybe you can try to press the next/previous button to see whether it change to others song.

What format are your files in? If MP3 then there will be zero problem. I have all of my MP3's on an external hard drive as well & all of my tag info was kept intact when I imported the tracks into iTunes.If the format is WMA then iTunes will want to convert the files into a format that the iPod will play. Tags will likely remain intact but the files will be changed I believe.

If you can play songs from your mp3 but you can't use the remore to skip songs and stuff like you said, how do you work it when you're playing songs from the mp3?

The songs play in the order they are sorted in your music folder on your computer. I sort my list alphabetically by right clicking on the screen of the folder, then I go to "Sort By", and finally click "Name" and "Ascending". This makes it easier to find the songs. If you turn off the MP3 player, it doesn't return to the previous point or beginning, instead when you turn it back on it oddly goes to the half way point of the song (Like 2:00 minutes of a 4:00 minute song).

Hi Terry,To be clear then..... can you go to that folder, select the first song to play and it automatically play thru every song in the folder.

I couldn't find a way to do so. I needed to remove the music from folders in order to play them. You could use separate memory cards I suppose.

I don't think so. You can organize it into folders, but all songs play in the order they are put onto the mp3.

When your music is on push the 'menu' button twice. Not too fast. The second push should show 'Random' that is your shuffle. If that doesn't work then when you push menu and it shows folders...then scroll with the right side of the button and it should go to the second page to show 'Random and Intro' scroll to Random and hit 'menu' and it will show a "R" with an arrow at the top, then you know you are in shuffle mode. Hope you can play with it and get it figured out. it took me lots of time to figure it out, It works great for what I got it for. It can be a real pain sometimes. It can be inconsistent at times. Good Luck!

I had the same problem. It turned out that some of the files were not MP3s but MP4s. Once the conversion was made to MP3s, I had no problems loading them on to an SD card.
