I am a new user and though competent wouldn’t consider myself particularly savvy.
I only want the P3 player to listen to music or audiobooks while working so once charged I loaded it up with some books. I just used drag and drop (coincidentally it would only allow me to put them in the Music folder).
Everything worked fine, it charged, I listened etc. Until I came to change the books for some new ones. I connected to the computer (Win 7) in Explorer the player turned up with the preset folders but I was told there were no Folders in the Music Folder. I checked on the player and they are definitely there. I tried loading a new file on anyway. I was told there was not enough room.
I checked how much of the player was used - nearly all of it - yet checking each folder individually this didn’t add up!
So I cannot see any of my files, I cannot delete any and cannot put new ones on. I tried on 4 different computers.
I tried to sync with Media player thinking it would wipe out what was on there. No go - it just tells me there is not enough room.
Ok maybe when I said I was a competent computer user I was kidding myself. I am really sorry if I am being a time ■■■■ and all round needy but I have tried to find out more about what you are saying and can’t seem to pinpoint exactly what I need.
I understand what you are saying and it makes sense to me I am just not clear on how to implement it.
Firstly nothing on the player is not replaceable so I need to start by formatting the device? Do you just mean wipe the whole device by reformatting from its menu on Windows Explorer? Or is there another way to do it?
Secondly how do I switch the USB mode? Is this something I dio on the device or the computer?
