Your device can play video file if its format is suitable. If you install the Philips songbird software you can convert your files with it and the player will play them after files transferred.

The software is download-able from here:

This solution can be usable if your player's type is SA2VBE.... If you have SA1... type you should use Philips Device Manager you can download too from this website.
Windows Media Player 11 and Quick Time software should be installed on your PC.
Good luck!
Thanks.

Hi beunckens an,

Be sure to restart your computer immediately after Philips Songbird installation in order for the CD Ripping feature to perform optimally.

Once you Rip files to Philips Songbird, you then have to transfer those songs to the device (it's a two-step process).

I hope this helps - you can also feel free to reach me with specific questions (for example, are you not able to successfully rip the cd's into Songbird or is the problem with transferring from the library to the device, or are the files not playing but still showing up on the device?).

Or, you can also reach Consumer Care at 1-888-744-5477 - an agent will be able to troubleshoot and provide assistance.

If you haven't already done so, be sure to check out www.philips.com/support - enter your model number (located on your product) to access FAQ's, manuals, videos, etc.

Let me know if this was helpful by rating this solution.

The drivers you're looking for should be on that page along with any other information you might need. Hope this helps!

If the media player battery is more than 3 - 4 years old then the battery could be worn out.Rechargeable batteries have a finite number of charge and discharge cycles andwill lose their charge capacity over time, i.e. won't charge to 100% andgradually the charge reduces until the battery won't charge up at all. OR Thebattery shows a 100% charge but when the adapter is disconnected the batterydrops off to zero capacity in a very short time. If the battery drops to anunacceptable charge level then the battery needs to be replaced.

Hi acdcrockwg,

In order to download music onto your computer (which you will need to do before transferring music from your computer to your player), you can purchase music online by individual track or album downloads (there are a number of online music services) or you can purchase a music subscription (such as Rhapsody) which allows you to play music as long as your subscription continues.

Another method of downloading music to your computer is by ripping CD's. For instructions on how to download and also transfer music to your player, visit www.philips.com/support and enter your specific model number in the search engine to arrive at the product page (which includes FAQ's, video tutorials, manuals, etc.). Model numbers typically begin with "SA."

Hope this helps. Let me know by rating this solution. Thanks!

You can also speak with a Consumer Care agent by calling 1-888-744-5477.

RIPPING CD INSTRUCTIONS:

When a CD is ripped, the audio files such as voice recording, music and audio book are copied into the memory of the computer.

Follow the steps below to rip a CD:

1. Insert the CD into the CD drive of the computer.
2. Launch Songbird in the computer.
3. Once the CD is detected by the software, the audio files in the CD will be shown.
4. Click the "Rip CD" on the right hand side and the ripping process will begin.
   

If the audio file is successfully ripped, there will be a tick sign on the beginning of the row showing the name.

Note:
Make sure you are authorized to rip the CD. Unauthorized duplication of any recordings whether downloaded from the Internet or made from audio CDs is a violation of copyright laws and international treaties.

Hi karenboyey,

I see you have visited the Philips site - were you able to find the Philips Songbird overview page?

You can find that page here:

http://ow.ly/64pOR

However, I actually had issues myself with downloading the program from that page. I would check your model specific page by entering your model number into the product search engine at:

www.philips.com/support

Once you are at your product specific page, click "Software & drivers" from the menu at the left-hand side of the page. Click on the download link for Philips Songbird and click "Save".

Hope this helps! Let me know by rating this solution. Thanks!

Here is an example of the "Software & drivers" page for an SA3VBE:

http://ow.ly/64qGc

Also, once you find the "Software & drivers" page and click on the link, here are instructions for downloading:

1. A window will pop up. Select "Save" to start downloading Philips Songbird.
   
   
   
2. Double-click the file you just downloaded to start installation.
3. Select the desired language and your country.
   
   
   
4. Follow the onscreen instructions to finish installation.
   
   
   
5. When installation is completed, click "Finish".
   
   
   
6. Restart the computer.

Hi
If you ever find that you have to deal with a wet device, don't just abandon it.
Instead, try the following method to repair the water damage:
DO NOT TURN IT ON!
Take it apart as much as you can. Take out the battery, the memory card and whatever else can be easily disassembled. (Just make sure you can put it back together.)
Store the parts in an air-tight container covered with either dry rice, silica gel packets or kitty litter. These will absorb the moisture from your electronics device, leaving it water-free.
If no rice, gel packets or kitty litter are available, try using a vacuum to **** the water out.
DO NOT blow-dry the parts, it will only force the water farther in and cause more damage.
