OK, here we go.

You don't state what type of mp3 payer you have so its going to be a stab in
the dark.If its a drag and drop type then go on bleow. If its a proprietry
brand (Apple, Phillips etc) then you'll probably need specific software to
load the songs - as in the case of an iPod, for example.

(Note : to hide Hidden files, click on the roundel abve "Show Hidden ....
etc). Apply and OK)

Your mp3 player should show up as a HD drive in the Folders pane on the left
hand side, just underneath your CD/DVD player/recorder. Does it ?

If it does not, then you need to change your USB cable and/or port.

If it does, then click on the + symbol and open up the tree. You should see,
in some form or other, whether you have any mp3 files on the player. If you
don't, then you'll have to load them up again.

If you do, then your player may need re-initialising to get rid of the
"Chinese" like writing. If so, then you'll have to re-install everything.

A bit vague, but then without knowing mdel/make etc of your mp3 player its
difficult to know what to do.

Cheers,
Jerry

Jerry, thanks so much & sorry i wasn't complete, but it's a gpx drag & drop,
not the other.

i will look into all you said & apply it & see how things turn out, but
hope you have some patience ! i have cts & neuropathy in both hands so hang
in here with me !

again, many thanks!

sorry as i already have a dumb question. before that, it's a gpx 2 gb
mw3347blk

i did as you said, re: my pc>explore, etc. & the "she me hidden.." is
already checked, now, you say "Your mp3 player should show up as a HD drive
in the Folders pane on the left hand side, just underneath your CD/DVD
player/recorder. Does it ?" In what pane ? in wmp or in My pc ? in my pc, i
see the "D drive but i click on the + sign & nothing happens.

that said jerry, i was able to put some 80 or so songs into the mp3 last
night, but i got to a point that, even tho' I still had over a GB of space
left, it wouldn't allow me to move more songs over to it - here's the error
message i got:

"C00D11CD: Unknown error
Windows Media Player encountered an unknown error. This can occur when
another program or operating system component encounters a problem but does
not communicate the nature of the problem to Windows Media Player."

so not sure how to proceed from this point on.

also, i think the usb is okay as i had all space used w/ 400 songs or so, so
it seemed to work properly the first time I did it, but just when I tried to
delete 7,8 songs & add the same, did i lose track of what started to happen

Here is an extract from the manual :

You will not be able to download Purchased/Subscribed songs using Windows
Media Player 9

to this unit. You need Windows XP with Windows Media Player 10.

You will still be able download regular MP3 & WMA songs.

1.Start Windows Media Player 9 and connect unit to your computer.

2.Click Copy to CD or Device.

3.In the "Items to Copy" pane, in the drop-down list, click the play list,
category, or other item that you want to copy.

4.Clear the check boxes next to any files you do not want to copy.

5.In the "Items on Device" pane, in the drop-down list, click the device
that you want to copy files to.

6.Click the 'Copy' button.

7.Repeat steps 2-5 for any other items that you want to copy to your unit.

When you right click on My Coputer then Explore, you will get a Windows
Explorer set up. It should be divided into 2 panes. The left one contains
the Folders, the right on the files. Your D drive should normally be your
DVD/CD drive - if you don't have a disk in it, then its normal nothing
happens. Your mp3 player should be E or another letter. If you have another
letter, then you could try dragging an mp3 file on to it and see if it
transfers.

This unfortunately does not help things. When XP or WMP runs into a problem
it can't handle or doesn't understand it throws up this generic error
message. Searching Google for that error throws up such information, there
is no easy way to solve it.
