Coby MP550 MP3 Player - Answered Questions & Fixed issues

When you connect your mp3 player to the PC. It should open up a file with the name of the device in my computer / scroll down to find the device, click and minimize the window,open the music file and drag and drop.

MP3 players can only play audio books and music files in mp3 file format. You can download mp3 music files from the Internet to your computer and then copy them to your MP3 player using the USB cable. For your CD collection, you need to convert your CDs to mp3 music files onto your computer or download them from the Internet and then copy them to your MP3 player after you have connected the USB cable to the MP3 player and the computer. You can do this using Windows Media player and Rip the CDs - Media Player will create a MP3 music file for each music track.

Try disabling your antivirus before connecting the device. Most antivirus prevents driver installation from some external devices. If that doesn't work, enable your antivirus and run a full scan on all your drives. Your next option might be to return it for a refund or replacement

Please check and make sure that the HOLD switch is in the corresponding position.
Then try to charge it via the USB cable connected to your computer for about half an hour and after press play.
If the problem persists connect it to the pc and format the drive that is named as removable disk.
Unfortunately in this case your media files will be disappeared after it.
I hope this can help you because if the battery of the device is good then you should make firmware recover or upgrade but no files are accessible on the coby website to do it up to now.
If none of these help you can carry it to service center.
Good luck!

Puede ser que el reproductor solo este bloqueado por la tecla deslizable HOLD, habria que probrar deslizando la tecla en sentido contrario al simbolo HOLD > .

use a software to compelete it.

Are you sure your system can identify your player? Try to connect it to other system if your system is WINDOWS 7. Because my mp5 player can't be indentified on WINDOWS7.

i have a problem with my coby MP550, i lost all the files in my Coby it's very empty cause by mistake am reformatting my coby. somebody can help me please?

• Try reflashing the firmware for your device you can find the latest firmware and flashing utilities from the manufacturer’s website. Make sure that you back your music up first because when you do this you are setting it back to factory settings.
• Try resetting the device it’s usually a small pinhole on the back or side of the device try holding that in for about 10 seconds.

not responding the coby mp3 550-1g player on my computer

I-Tunes is very proprietory, the music player is encoded on an AAC codec. The coby player is going to play Mp3 codec. There is only one way to get your music off of the itunes music engine and on to your Windows Media Player, which the coby will recognize. You need to basically make cd's of your music and then reload them onto your Windows Media Player. Unless you loaded the music from your own cd's it will be an arduos task. If you loaded the music into Itunes from your own cd's then you can re-load them into WMP (Windows Media Player). I would suggest before you load the discs that you change the settings in WMP to Mp3 and not the default of WMA this just makes it more universal ... although I do believe all coby players will play WMA. But with Mp3 codec in the WMP you can encode music at a higher kbs than WMA. That is the one thing that is wrong with apple itunes is that it can only be loaded onto Ipod players..... hope this helps
