My iriver start loading then says build library then just freezes whats the problem

Please get it here: www.driverslab.com/drivers/MP3/iRiver/15/56.html www.opendrivers.com/.../iriver-free-driver-download.html www.driverskit.com/freedownload/MP3/iRiver/..._/18888.html

I use a microsd to load files that i havent tried on the device before, to test safely. If it crashes then i can simply remove the microsd and clear it. If the "bad" or incorrecly encoded files are loaded onto the internal memory of the device then you will be unable to clear or bypass the "building library" stage and the device is bricked. Take it back to where you bought it and get it replaced if this happens, that's what I had to do when I bricked it.

Maybe we all need to write to iriver and request much improved firmware that allows wiping of the internal memory BEFORE the build library stage as well as the option to disable or an improvement of the "build library" functionality. A simple solution would be to set a flag in a config file whenever files are added to the device and it doesnt do a build library unless the config flag says new files are present and that it is required.

go to my computer and open the C drive /create a new folder my music (rename it) ...ok now plug up iriver to pc...again go to start/my computer/ see the iriver drive open it...now you should see all the files on the iriver also...place both window side by side (or top & bottom) and click & drag (or copy & paste) from both iriver and pc...now you can save and copy from either one..........

When you connect the PMP to the computer does it say your new device is ready for use or something else like 'the device has malfunctioned'?

I have the same issue that frequently the computer won't see the PMP. Keep trying it sometimes works. If not then its likely that the harddisk is dead or dying.

this problem seems to be common
it can happen if you dont safely remove the iriver from the computer
i havent found a fix for this problem anywhere
but ill purchace your iriver if you cant find a fix..

can i suggest you try rockox http://build.rockbox.org/ this will give you more than the regular ole iriver software.
but if you really want to start fresh back up the e10 iriver software, format you e10, re-install iriver software, add your media back (i've done this with my kids ipods also..and it works like new)
good luck............feel free to rate if helpful

If your player freezes on "Building Library" (usually a result of putting certain type of .m3u playlists or too big images in id3 tag):

1. Turn the player off - you may need to take the battery out to do this.
2. Hold the menu button in.
3. Still holding the menu button in, press the power button.
4. Keep holding both buttons in until you get a dialogue asking if you want to format internal memory ... say yes.
5. Your internal memory will be formatted and you will now be able to start your X20.

Try to figure out what file is causing X20 to freeze - i've found that pretty much any .m3u file will make it freeze on building library ... only about 2-3 out of about 100 i've tried have worked.

Hi. I just had solved my Build Library problem. Use my solution on your own risk.
The solution is the following:
1. open up a player (find 8 screws, not 6, 2 of them are on the left side of the player under the round stickers)
2. jently take off a circut board. (you need to access its bottom)
3. Find a memory chip. It is labeled like "samsung k9hbg08u1m"
4. find chip's key meaning start of pin numbering (small circle on the corner). There are 48pins. 24 on the left side (1-24) and 20 on the right (48-25) see chip's manual http://catalog.gaw.ru/index.php?page=document&id=11348 page 4


5. On the right side find pins 32-29 (find them as the second 4 pins from the chip's circle key opposite corner)
6. Connect them together with some metalic wire (don't touch two middle pins on the right side of chip, it is chip's power supply).
7. Holding those pins together connect USB cable to player's socket.
8. After a while player will show error on its screen, get metallic wire out of pins, and then the player will be available as flash storage on the PC.
9. Format flash storage with quick format.
10. Disconnect and assemble the player back.
11. Connect to PC and upload new music.
