Trouble shooting

Why can some WMA format songs on the digital
player not be played?

Q:

There are many different music formats for songs
on the Internet and many of them are in WMA
format. Some of these WMA format songs are
subject to DRM (license) copyright protection,
which may cause unauthorized copies of some
songs to become unplayable. This system protects
the original owner of the songs. Some websites
offer songs without license protection, and you
may copy and play them as you wish - just like
songs in mp3 format. However, some websites
only offer songs in WMA format with license
protection (for example: www.napster.com and

www.musicmatch.com). To play these songs you

can only use your PC with a Windows Media
Player that has obtained the correct license
protection. (Windows Media Player is a free
Microsoft product that allows you to play WMA
streaming media files. You can download it from
many websites.) You cannot copy and play these
songs on another PC without license protection.
This prevents the spreading of unauthorized and
illegal copies of songs and protects the song’s
copyright owner.

A:

59

If you have WMA format songs with the
corresponding license protection, you still cannot
just copy the songs from your PC to the digital
player. You need to open Windows Media Player
first. From its menu select “document”, “open”
and open all the WMA songs you want to copy (if
all of them can be played, you can transfer them
to your player). Connect the digital player to your
PC via a USB cable, and the screen of the player
will display “Communicating”. Next a portable
disk (e.g. F:\) will be displayed. Now click the
“portable device” option on the left hand side of
the Windows Media Player. A list of the music to
copy will appear. Select all the songs you want to
copy and then click the “copy music” button in
the top left hand corner of the screen. The
selected songs can now be transferred to your
player with the required license protection
authorization.

How many minutes of MP3/WMA songs can be
stored on the player?

Q:

This depends upon the player’s memory capacity,
and how much is available for storage. One
minute’s MP3/WMA music occupies
approximately 1Mb of space, so if the capacity of
the memory is 128Mb then it can store around
128 minutes of music.

A:

60

Lost data?Q:

Some data loss can be caused by an unstable
power supply during the transfer process. Our
company does take responsibility for any files
that are lost or damaged. We strongly
recommend that our customers keep back-up
copies of all important files.

A:

Why do different songs play at different
volumes?

Q:

Depending on how a song is recorded, and how
the volume levels were set at that time, songs can
have different volumes levels and some can
sound much louder than others.

A:

Having problems transferring files?Q:

A:

Please make sure that the USB cable is
properly connected to the player and the PC.

(1)

Please check that there is enough memory
available to accommodate the files that you
wish to transfer.

(2)

61

Why can some files, which are smaller in size
than the available space on the player, still not
be transferred?

Q:

The CMOS chip inside the player allocates 16KB
or 32KB to one memory track. A one Byte file will
take one track. Therefore some files are smaller
than the available memory but still cannot be
transferred to the player.

A:

Why my SD card in MP313X cannot be
recognized as a Removable Drive under
Windows 2000?

Q:

Try downloading Service Pack 4 (SP4) for
Windows 2000 and install it to solve this problem.
You may find it via this link:

http://www.microsoft.com
/windows2000/downloads/servicepacks/sp4/
default.asp

A:

62

Why I can only download a limited quantity of
files into my player while there is plenty of space
on it?

Q:

The number of files you can store in the ROOT
directory of a local disk largely depends on the
length of file names. The longer the file name is,
the fewer files. A maximum number of 512 files
are allowed to be stored in the ROOT directory.
Note that this restriction only applies to the
ROOT directory. Create as many folders as you
need to store more files.

A:

How do I create new folders in my MP3 player?Q:

Connect the MP3 player to your PC using the
supplied USB cable. In the Removable Disk
window, select File > New > Folder.

A:

My player won’t start, what has happened?
Could the following have occurred? :

Q:

A:

During an upgrade of the player’s hardware,
an accidental error might have occurred or the
USB cable was unplugged.

(1)

The Flash disk has been physically damaged.

(2)

An unreliable power supply has resulted in an
automatic power off after start up.
