Error Message ''Format Error''

Hi cherylchiris,
The songs must only be in the mp3 (and m4a, maybe) format to play. Remember, not just the extension ".mp3", but the encoding must be in mp3. There are plenty of free programs that can convert your songs to mp3, like Mediamonkey, Itunes, etc.

hi thanks for using fixya!

Try to reformat the MP3 player.

If you need further assistance, let me know.

Hi,
There is no problem with the pen drive, there is a problem with the music player.....
if you wanna play the songs on the computer then play it with VLC player...download free player from the following link :

if you wanna play the song in your HI-FI music player or in your Car's music system , then convert them to ".mp3" format..... here is how you can convert to .mp3 format....

it's probaly not formated right

I had the same problem and struggled with it for some time. I forgot the format feature on the device itself and kept formatting from my pc. This won't work.

The solution:

1. Unhook your device from the pc by pulling out the USB cable.
2. Click the "Menu" button 1 time (found on the back of your NW-E105 player).
- This will show "Display"
3. Click the " |<< " button 3 times (the button to rewind track).
- This will show "Format"
4. Click the Play/Stop button 1 time.
- This will show "Format: N"
5. Click the " |<< " button again 1 time.
- This will show "Format: Y>
6. Click the Play/Stop button 1 time (wait for "really?" prompt), click it again.

Now your device is formatted and will play the files you add to it.

I had the same problem. I had formatted the player's drive using Windows explorer and the got this error: "File Format error" while trying to play any mp3 file.
I went to the command prompt. Deleted all files:
E:\> del *
Then I copied the MP3 files again in the T.sonic MP3 player. All MP3 files played fine after this.

reformat the ipod through my computer using the right click on your mouse then see if the problems go away

some songs may not be in correct format

also, could require a firmware upgrade:


T.sonic cannot operate after it was formatted in Windows
Formatting T.sonic using the “Quick Format” or “Full Format” option in Windows destroys the
default format of the T.sonic. To retrieve the default format, you must link to
http://www.transcendusa.com/ and download the firmware updates for the T.sonic.
