After I sync the songs onto this mp3 and go to listen to them, it tells me "no music", when I retry to put songs on the thing, it wont let me. Why??

Sounds like Joseph has a handle on it. I have had plenty of problems with mine but not that one. My best suggestion would be to format it.

The files are not in the mp3 format that the device likes. I remember having to run all of the songs through 3 different mp3 converters before finding one that it liked. I searched through my folders to see which one I used but couldn't find it. It was a free converter I downloaded from the internet. The good news is once the files are converted and show on the system, your eclipse will be a very enjoyable device. I love mine! But it did take 3 days to get it up and running.

Thanks.For some reason it took about two weeks to work after doing the exact same steps.The same thing sometimes happens with music. I will rip some music and add it to my library, but will have to sync it several times before it sees it. Doesn't always happen, but I have noticed it.

What format are your files in? If MP3 then there will be zero problem. I have all of my MP3's on an external hard drive as well & all of my tag info was kept intact when I imported the tracks into iTunes.If the format is WMA then iTunes will want to convert the files into a format that the iPod will play. Tags will likely remain intact but the files will be changed I believe.

don't format! the radio probably isn't broken; you probably just "paused" it. you can tell if there's a square shaped icon under the station ... would be a lot less confusing if they used the standard "||" pause symbol ... hit "|| &gt;" and you should play fine. ALSO, there's a sansa forum out there ... now we know

I tried a thumbdrive with .mp3 files and it plays sequentially. I have not tried the SD port nor any other music file formats.

It could be that you are downloading songs that aren't DRM free, like songs purchased from Walmart.com. Those songs download with a usage license that must be present for the song to play (I once bought $20 worth of songs from Walmart and put them on my MP3 player - when that computer crashed I found I couldn't upload the songs to my new computer because the licenses weren't present - when the MP3 malfunctioned I was simply out those songs). Try ripping tracks from a CD you own and putting those on the Barbie Girl, or buy songs from another source). You recharge the unit by putting it in the white docking station. When the light goes off, the unit is charged. Hope that helps!

Ihad the same problem! First and most important make sure your PC is set to mp3 (file) when you down load to SD or USB drive. My pc would download MP3 files from cds and i PoDs but when I tried to move to SD or USB they came out as WAV files. I use Windows media playerand had to change sync options from WAV to MP3. Try this and you won't have any more problems.

According to the manual there is a random play mode with mp3. I have never used it myself.

Mine did that too and I found out I put the music on in the wrong format, I believe it has to be mp3 format or something along those lines

I haven't tried to sync that way. I added all my music at one time and now just add specific songs and albums individually. The format is simple enough to add and delete at will. I'm sorry I can't answer your specific question. I will try syncing on my next update. Remember, with 2 separate folders in the unit, it's fairly easy to make changes whenever you want.

Your computer software should include some kind of music library. Either download music from online or by ripping music files from CD's you own. Save your chosen tracks to the library. Copy or drag tracks to the MP3 player. I discovered I have to go back and sync all of my old tracks when I add new ones.

itunes isn't compatible with most mp3 players...just ipod and a couple of others. I would suggest to download your music onto your player using windows media

It's a horrible mp3 player. My recommendation is to get rid of it and just purchase a different brand mp3 player that works correctly. That's what I did with mine.

The songs are files that (zips) that have to be converted. That' the difficult part. Converting them after you've loaded them to disk. That's where I never could get any support. Good luck.

Hello. I had the same problem - the downloaded songs did not match my playlist. I returned the item, actually. Very bad quality, sound and adjustment in ear.

I also have Itunes.. i had to do some fiddling around but i finally got it to first convert the songs into MP3 but then I had to manually add them on to the MP3 player
