Coby 2g Mp3 Not Working... >:(

Coby Media Manager is embedded on the MP3 player. When the MP3 player is connected to your PC, that is all it will say is 'USB Connected'. To access the coby media manager, go to Start > Computer > It will be a 'Removable Disk' drive, double click it, inside of there will be a coby-mediamanager.exe file, this is the software, double click it to install it. It will put an ICON on your desktop, this software is what you use to sync music, photo or video to your MP3 player. If you need the Coby Media Manager - you can downlod from here: http://www.cobyusa.com/files/software/MP707_Media_Manager.zip

There isnt much on the mp3 player itself, it comes with a default song, the coby media manager software and the instruction manual, you can download the coby media manager from: http://www.cobyusa.com/files/software/MP707_Media_Manager.zip

You need to use the coby media manager to delete or upload file to your player. In BearShare, go to the File menu and select Explore Downloads, note where your files are, then go to the coby media manager to transfer them. Here is a link to the manual for your device:

Instead of using the Coby Media Player, use Windows Media Player to store your songs and you can sync them from there. I bought a MP601-2G for my nephew and my Bro' in law's girlfriend tried to get/sync some songs for him and could'nt figure it out. They gave it back to me to figure out. I noticed that the Media manger was missing, they must of deleted it accidently or something else. Then I read an answer similiar to mine where the person didn't have the Media Manager and the solution was as I described. I made a new folder, named it and then used a website called beemp3.com to download songs. After I found the song downloaded it which sends it to the websites playlist. From there I right clicked the file, clicked copy and pasted it to windows media player where it says drag and drop to sync. IMPORTANT: HAVE WINDOWS MEDIA PLAYER OPEN ALREADY AND MINIMIZE UNTIL YOUR READY TO DRAG AND DROP TO THE SECTION THAT SYNCS THE SONG TO THE COBY PLAYER. Make sure the coby player is connected to the computer.
It sounds complicated, but it's much easier than it sounds. Email me to let me know how it works out at [email protected]

Having Operating System Windows XP, most mp3 players can be recognized in Windows Media Player 11 software from Microsoft.

Hello,

Having devices connected during reinstallation of the Operating System will lead to a faulty detection on the USB ports.
Connected devices will not be recognized.

How to get the USB ports functioning again:

>0. First disconnect all apparatus connected to the USB ports.

Step 1.1 will take a long time again, I'd prefer step 1.2:
1.1 Perform a new installation of Windows XP (the long way) or
>1.2 Delete all USB hardware in the Control Panel (the short way).

>2. Install the software for your device and perform an update.
Update Windows Media Player 11 and / or Coby Media Manager.

>3. Open the software WMP11 or the Coby Media Manager.
Connect the device and make a setup for connection in the
software you use.

Get something better than a coby. Coby's dont work very well on anything.
