Hi, I would be very thankful if you help me. I have a brand new Mp3 Memorex 8590 and have added around 50 songs and it shows when playing one song on the display 1 of 1, and once the song is over, the next one never begins, and if i want to go to the next song, it cant. I of course checked the play mode and its set to normal. Please help me

Sorry,You can't retrieve after formatting. :(

I suggest you update the firmware of the player. The update available at Memorex web site:

http://www.memorex.com/en-us/Discontinued-Products/Portable-Electronics/MP3/Digital-Audio-Player-with-1GB-Memory--Color-Display/support/

If that does not work, it may be a problem with the player itself. This product has a 90 day warranty and you can call Memorex Product Support at 1-877-363-6673 between noon and 9pm EST if the unit is under warranty.

Hi...

These are some of the cause on why these songs does not appear:
- has long titles - you needed to shorten it
- invalid format - the icons appear the same but the type is different an mp3, wma, mp2, wav ... et..
- has a high bit rate - find lower ones
- protected song - look for songs that does not require online verification
- the song contains a video - find a song that only play on audio.

good luck ... happy fixya... please rate.

hi thanks for using fixya!

Try to reformat the MP3 player.

If you need further assistance, let me know.

I bought a new MP3 Player. I think the Memorex brand is faulty.

Right clicked on properties of song and added artist and title of that song, hit apply and problem solved.

This is from Memorex FAQs:
Some programs put the track number as the first 2 characters of the song title (file name) this will cause the player to put the songs in the same order as the CD (or album for those of us old folks). If you drag files onto the MP3 players you can arrange them in any order you wish in the file view of your windows computer. When you go through the songs on the MP3 player, they will be in alphabetic order based on the file name (song title usually). You can't change the player's settings to play in anything but alphabetical order. There is a work around: People can force the play list order by naming the songs with a numeric prefix (i.e. 01, 02 etc) so the alphabetic listing in the player will put them in the order you prefer.

1) Format the player first - instructions are in the user manual
2) Upgrade the firmware

If you cannot do any of the above due to non-PC-recognition:
Try this: disconnect the player from the computer, turn it off, hold in the volume + button, and reconnect the player to the computer while holding the volume + button in. Keep holding the volume + button for an additional 5-50 seconds. Windows should eventually go into recovery mode and revive the player- it will pop up a window that says Found New Hardware Wizard

Download the latest firmware upgrade for the device at www.usasupport.philips.com
The firmware upgrade will delete all songs off the device
Re-add the songs you would like
It should work better the second time around

Try updating the firmware, you can download it from the RCA Website (http://support.rcaaudiovideo.com/).
If your computer doesn't recognize the player, you'll have to turn it off, remove the battery and keep "PLAY" pressed for 10 seconds while connecting it to the USB port, then update the firmware.
