MP3 player troubles...

[rellell]

I recently purchased an iPod knock-off and it seems to have worked ok up until this point. However, the last time I tried to play a song on it, it played a song from an entirely different folder. I clicked next, and it played another song from that other folder... as if it were referencing wrong or something.

So I decided to delete all the files on the player and start anew... being away from my computer, I used the delete all files option on the player itself to delete my music.

Now, when trying to copy music to the player I get an error saying: Cannot replace or create XXXX: the file cannot be created. I cannot even create a file within the disk itself. The player did not come with any type of software to load music onto the player, it's just drag and drop.

So... I'd like to either be able to get this fixed... or if possible even load an iPod or open firmware onto the player (the firmware that came with it is clumsy and slow). Does anyone know if this would be possible? Especially since I can't seem to copy ANY file to the player at the moment.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

It is possible, there's some tips to this available if you can identify the encoder/decoder chip or MFG. Probly best to use the actual software for that device. You might find some firmware or fix for that you could try re-flashing the players firmware based on the encoder? but reports for this kind of thing show that they have trouble with control mapping and the display going haywire. It may have had the OS files stored on the flash disk, so deleting files may have wiped out that part..
