Using MP3 Player??

Expand Post »
Hi
I am a bit of a novice and so will try to explain as best I can
I have installed my drivers for my new MP3 player and the computer has the little symbol at the bottom of the screen saying everything is working correctly.
When I go into My computer to put the MP3s onto the player there is no device there to paste the songs to?
Is there something obvious I am missing or should the computer have the device listed in my computer?
Any help would be great
Thanks
Joe

Re: Using MP3 Player??

Hi
Yeah definately nothing listed in the devices with removeable storage at all. It is a Acoustic Solutions cheapo MP3 player and I am using XP. I think there might be something wrong with the USB ports because I cant use a USB memory stick either- I have just discovered

Thanks

Yeah, sounds like a bad usb port , i broke mine before when the little tab fell out that stops you sticking things in the wrong way.

Have you got SP2 by the way?

Re: Using MP3 Player??

XP service pack two. Most people should already have it, but if you dont update your pc, or are on dial up, you might not. I was just asking as its a pre-requisite for a lot of usb devices

Go control panel -> system

it will tell you there

if its SP2 it says

Microsoft Widnows XP
XXXXXXX Edition
Version 2002
Service Pack 2

Re: Using MP3 Player??

wierd.

So no usb devices work?

I think maybe you managed to break your USB drivers by installing thr drivers for the MP3 player (generally these are for 98/ME only as on xp its plug and play)

Re: Using MP3 Player??

I would uninstall the drivers, and see how it goes from there.
Do you plug in the MP3 player (like a memory stick) or does it have a USB cable that connects your MP3 player with the computer?
Because maybe the cable is broken, it can happen occasionally.

Re: Using MP3 Player??

Hi
I have tried my Mp3 player on my friends computer last night and it works fine so I think maybe the USB ports are broken on mine. Can you get replacements for them or fix them somehow?
My MP3 player uses a cable to install drivers and then you can just plug in the player to put your music on.
