    I have a Chinese-make 1GB ipod. It was playing all MP3 songs normally until a few days back. I copied some songs from the net and after that it shows `format error' and all the songs are played only for less than one minute and automatically it goes to the next song. I tried formatting my ipod after copying all the date onto my PC. Even then it does not work. Please let me have a solution

My ipod is showing file system error

Hi


File system error can appear due to unplugging the MP3 player without disconnecting it. It may have happened due to formatting it with a different file format or due to memory issue with the player. Please reformat your MP3/MP4 player. Connect it to the computer, go to My computer-> right click on the mp3/mp4 player after it is displayed-> select format-> Format it as FAT32 File system. Formatting the MP3/MP4 player will delete all the songs/data from the player. So, backup all data before formatting it. Hope this helps...

I bought my son a "MP4 player, Augen is the Manufactor or model. Will you tell me how to download music to it. I have downloaded a few songs but get this message- "format error"

Hello,

the reason its showing format error is because the songs you downloaded into it is not compatible with the player. For example, if the song you were suppose to download was to be in AAC format, and you put MP3 format, it will show format error because it does not recognize songs in Mp3 format but with AAC format.

Therefore, when you want to download songs into the Mp4 player, make sure the songs are in either WMA or MP3 Audio format. These audio formats are compatible with Mp4 player.

Also, if you want to download videos, make sure they are in MP4 format.

I wish you good luck.

System error

Hi


Thanks for using FixYa. You might have recently formatted your MP3 player and due to that this error is occurring. Please reformat your MP3/MP4 player again. Connect it to the computer, go to my computer-> right click on the mp3/mp4 player-> select format-> Format it as FAT32 File system. This will delete all songs from your player, so before formatting it copy all songs if you don't have a backup.


Please do rate the solution and revert for further assistance.

Generic problem for Media Players

make sure that the songs that you uploading with your mp3 player is mp3 format, not wma or other, maybe your are loading a format that your player cant recognize.

i have used quite a few mp4 players and encountered this problem several times - the solution that worked for me is :

Format the drive when it syncs to your computer -- a quick format will do and then it should let you copy the songs to it

just in case you don't know how to format it

1) Right click the MP4 player drive
