When I delete files they are no longer listed, but are still on the player. I can add more but can't delete any? I run Ubuntu, is that an issue?

I am sorry I can not help you, I could not get it to work on windows 7, and ended up donating it, sorry

I had so many issues with this player myself that I eventually scrapped it and purchased one of superior quality..... Off brands can be tricky to deal with.... you might try formatting the player to clear everything off the memory.

I'm not sure if you still need an answer for this or not...but, I run Ubuntu as well. Even though I don't have this player, ALL of the flash memory devices that are plugged into Ubuntu need to have the trash emptied after you delete the files from the device. The "delete" action doesn't actually remove them from the device.

I got an email asking me to give an answer. I don't use any open architect OS - I use Windows. But, it would seem if you delete the files maybe if you empty trash they will go away? Or perhaps the music is stored in a different folder than the actual play list? I'm sorry, I don't know- haven't had that problem

To answer your question informatively, yes. In the system settings there is an option to overwrite last night's videos(for example). And if you say no. It will keep them until eventually your SD card runs out of memory. Also if you are curious whether this deletes other content inside the SD card besides the videos, the answer is no. The system makes a folder named "Videos" and only affects that folder. All other contents are left unchanged/unaltered. So you have no worries.

You can delete them or transfer them to a computer via USB. Then you can add more.

Anyone have any issues with .avi files that are over 1gb? I can fast forward through it, but when I try to play it normally, it cuts at about the 1hr 50minute mark.Thoughts?

thanks for your question i do have music on the player but only in one folder but it should play separate folders so yes it will play separate folders it is a very good music player if your music files have album art associated with them it will show album art- its like this if you have one song in one folder then you have another folder in the same folder that has a lot of songs as the one song in the one folder it will play the songs in the folder after playing the first song hope that makes sense -----lol

The system constantly overwrites the oldest files. You never need to take the SD out. You can also use your PC software to manage your files (save/delete).

JV - Thanks a lot! I could not figure out why my dvds wouldn't play on other dvd players. There is nothing to clue you in that you need to finalize them.

Thank you for this post. I have beat my head for hours trying to figure out how to get the player to show up as a drive. This worked for me.

You cannot just drag and drop, it will rename your files and not recognize the album or artist name on many tracks, these tracks will go into the folder unknown and will not play.

I did end up with one problem and had to call the company. I was deleting songs off the player, but the space available was getting smaller. It turned out that I needed to empty the trash... simple enough. As I said, I just got a mac (macbook) so I don't know if this type of thing happens often with a mac. But, make sure you empty the trash if you are deleting songs or the player will get filled!!

You might have used all memory space, try removing old unwanted files, videos. Take a backup and delete data from memory. I have put an external class 10 memory card and changed the default settings to write data into ext memory.

The recorded files are stored securely. To view them, go to "Video Player", press "OK", the unit should show "No files!". Hold down on the two "VOL" buttons (VOL-/&lt;&lt;I and VOL+&gt;&gt;I) for more than 3 seconds, the unit will read recorded videos and a list of videos will show up. Use the two VOL buttons to select the one you want to play. Please let us know if this helps. Thank you.

I don't have much to add. "AvonInd" has a good explanation of how to delete. The only thing I can think of is if you've loaded your songs in the "Internal Memory" folder by mistake rather than the music folder and the unit won't allow deletion from "Internal Memory". Or, perhaps, you have a faulty unit.

The player acts like a flash drive. all you load on it via the computer, the only way to delete it is via the computer. in short, no there is no delete button on the walkman. to delete you would have to plug it in the computer and delete like you would for a document on a flash drive. The podcast you downloaded on your computer, then uploaded on your player.... you listened then plugged it in.... back in computer and delete it when done and upload more.Hope this helped.

Titles can be deleted one at a time or multiple titles at a time. Once deleted, disk space is open for more recording.Hope this helps.

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.

I can't believe the Zune would do that! Its beyond logic!! What they want you to do is have a portable device for your music but also have a non-portable copy?? The Sony syncs perfectly and the function is only 'addition'. If you want to delete, you have to delete from the player(but it has to be connected to your PC, you cannot delete from the player on its own). It also does not overwrite if you are trying to add a file that is already there. Once the player is connected to the PC and Windows Media Player is opened, there is a separate area where you drag the files that you want synced. I guess that is what prevents it from functioning like the Zune.
