RCA TH1101 MP3 Player - Answered Questions & Fixed issues

Mostly you pay, but there are a few free sites still left.

Use Windows Media Player to transfer music and delete songs

As far as downloading songs, you can sign up for a wide number of music services - each one has a different download method, and the company website will explain how to use it. The problem with this RCA player is that it was tied to Yahoo!'s Musicmatch Jukebox svc, which was cancelled in October 2007, so you will have to find another music service. Some music services will recognize the RCA player directly, and you can use their svc to download the songs directly to your player. Other services you will have to download the songs first, and then transfer them to the RCA using Windows Media Player afterwards.

You will have to renew your subscription or get another music service. If you only download songs in mp3 format, you will never have this problem.

The license on the songs that you are trying to download either does not permit transfer to mp3 players - or the license has expired. Use mp3 format songs only, and you will never have this problem. You can read my "Tips & Tricks" article on song formats if you really want more detailed information.

That's an easy one. http://www.rcaaudiovideo.com/docs/common/TH2014/TH2014_OM.pdf

As I know, iTunes media has DRM protection, you have to recover the DRM in advanced, and then you can convert it. I used this DRM Media converter to do that, it worked fairly well, you might check it out. DRM Media Converter convert DRM protected iTunes music and movie

when you plug ot to your computer does it recognize it? if yes all you have to do is copy some songs into it and that's all. Btw, I’m available to help over the phone in case u need at https://www.6ya.com/expert/tony_a41fa0b801734e2f

Hi ebowes007 Try this solution to your problem. Go to Device ManagerTo get to Device Manager you will:Right click on My Computer>Properties>click the Hardware Tab>Device Manager.After you are in Device Manager look for your MP3 player or Unit.Here you should see no "Yellow" exclamation points.If you do they they are telling you that you have a device conflict.If you currently have your unit plugged in, you may notice the "unknown device" which would be your Player or Unit.If you unit has an exclamation point by it, then you will need to click on it and delete it.After you remove all devices with conflicts then click on refresh and search again for your MP3 player/Device.The computer should install your device this time and solve your problem with connection of the MP3 player/Device.Please take time to rate me.Bud

There are two possibilities - corrupt DB or songs in wrong format.
If it is a corrupt DB, then go to RCA's website for the latest firmware upgrade.

Make sure the songs are in the correct format. Make sure the songs are not AAC, WAV, streaming, or some other non-supported format
Mp3 players are more complicated than ever. This player may only accept DRM-encrypted WMA files. I would first check the songs that you have downloaded to make sure they did not have "temporary" licenses with a fixed end date. You can do this by right clicking on an individual song, clicking on properties, and selecting the "license," "digital rights mgmt" or "media usage rights" tab - the wording varies by configuration. It will give you info on the license. If the song says that it has no license, it will not work with this player. One remedy is to use mp3 converter software to convert all of those wma files to Mp3's - I don't know of any free ones, but you can certainly look for free Mp3 Converters. Another remedy on unlicensed songs is to hit the "acquire license" link in the license tab, if one exists.

Hi!

It could not play mpg4 files, since those are video files.

See this tip posted here which will explain where your files are. MTP vs MSC modes

Normally, you wait for the autorun/play to open a folder to view or put your files into.

Open windows explorer to your music library. drag and drop to the first folder,
that autoplay opens, from the second folder, your music library.


It its supposed to be that simple.



Please rate this answer.

You have to access the player menu by pressing M during playback. Once in the menu press + or - until you find settings in french that would be "reglages" or "parametres". Press the play/pause button to enter. While in the settings menu again using + or - scroll through until you find language press the play/pause button and select english.

no its ok

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.
You can do this using Windows Media player and Rip the CDs - Media Player willcreate a MP3 music file for each music track.

Usually if you plug in your MP3 player Windows will recognize it and pull it up automatically. Then all you need to do is either drag and drop the .mp3 files onto the drive or use Windows Media Player to sync it for you.
