20 Most Recent iRiver E150 (4 GB) MP3 Player Questions & Answers

Hi, I had the same problem with my Iriver E200. The cause is firmware corruption.

I solved this problem using this method:

1) connect your Iriver device to pc and open the disc of your player;
2) you can see various folders: open the folder named "system";
3) this folder contain a *sys file;
4) open this file using notepad;
5) go to the row "version = ...";
6) you have to modify this row by inserting an older version of firmware. For example if you have "version = 1.11", insert a smaller number, for example 1.07. Save the *.sys file edited. In this way you can force iplus3 to reinstall an uncorrupted version of firmware;
7) now open iplus3, go to Tools -> Portable device -> update firmware. You should be able to reinstall firmware.

The I river supports MPEG4 video format. You can download the software for free from the link below.

Somehow the MP3 player is unable to play the music. This may be because the format of the music is not in the MP3 format, so therefore in fact it is there, but is unreadable by the MP3 player. Make sure the music files are .mp3 format.

MP3 players can only play music files in mp3 file format. You need to convert your CDs to mp3 music files onto yourcomputer or download them from the Internet and then copy them to your MP3player.

i think you could be trying to play the wrong format of video, i really need more information but for now my suggestion is to use a program like "Handbrake" its free off the internet and convert your movies to mp4 or mp4v handbrake will do this conversion for you then its just a matter of transfering them to your device.
hope this helps thank you.
