Couple of solutions. If I read correctly it won't turn on. What you need to do is plug the USB into the computer. It shouldn't turn on. What you do is hold the Play button and wait a few seconds. If that doesn't work hold the Power Button. If that doesn't work you'll have to find another way to turn it on. I also read that you lost a folder, if you are successful on turning on, look for the folder first. If it is not their go to a friends house a try downloading it. Bring a thumb drive a bring the folders to you house and on your computer and it should work. Although you might have to replace the music, but it should be there.

When you connect the MP3 player to your computer with the supplied USB cable then computer detects the player as an external storage device or a Removable disk, you can then view the folder on your MP3 player. Open the music folder and create a new folder on the player exactly the same way you create a folder on your computer's hard drive. To organise your music, make a folder name with the name of the music album and place the album's MP3 files in this folder, then copy the mp3 files from the computer into this folder.
You will then be able to select the music you want to play by the music album folder. To delete a file from your MP3 player, connect the supplied USB cable to your player and then plug it into the USB port of your computer.
The computer will detect your player then click on this device to view the files, you can then click on the music file to highlight the file and then press the Del key to delete the file off your MP3 player. Check the specification of your MP3 player to determine the type of video file format it uses. Most common video files that MP3 players use are, AVI and WMV, there may be others such as FLV, MOV and DivX. If your player cannot play a video then it is an incompatible video file format, then you need to convert that video file to a format that your MP3 player uses. After video conversion then copy the video files to your MP3 player using the USB cable from your computer.

HOW DO YOU GET THE LIBARAY CHANGE TO DOWNLOAD THE SONG. IT'S ON MY WINDOWNS MEDIA PLAYER AND I CAN'T PUT THIS ON MY MP3 PLAYER.FROM WINDOWS MEDIA PLAYER TO PC LIBARAY ON MY MP3 PLAYER

I to have so many problems with windows media player its a shame... but like all things there is a way around it.

If the music you are trying to put on the mp3 is in windows media player, then you'll need to track it down.. *note- not all removable media comply with windows media player*

If you are using a PC-- desktop, then finding the music should be simple, and found in the folder my music.

Once you have located the music you want to put on your mp3, you'll have to find your mp3 player.

The mp3 player should show up as a removable disk or storage in "my computer".

Once you have found your mp3 as a removable disk, right click it, then go to explore. This should open a folder containing the contents of your mp3 player.

You may see several folders in it, but the one you want to go to is of course music.

From here on its simple... the My Music folder on your computer should still be open.... also the music folder inside your mp3 folder should be open.

Drag and drop the music files from the my music folder to your mp3 folder... a notification and time of the transfer will appear.

When it is done... the music will be added to your mp3 player ..... this process can also be used vice versa, as in getting music from your mp3 to your computer.

Please notify me if there are any problems.. thanxx <(^_^)>

Double click My Computer when your Sansa player is connected, double-click on the player, and then open the music folder - drag and drop. Personally, I find windows media player easier, but to each his own.

RCA Lyra RD2317

Remember when you format memory like a hard drive you erase everything. Move music to your internal mp3 memory and do a profile - folders should appear. If you have flashed your player with the firmware update you can get 520 songs on the player for both internal and external combined but be warned that if you exceed this count your player will start to forget the earlier loaded songs - listed but not addressable (playable). The same is for the folder count eg. add album = artist + ablum title (min 2 folders). Plus always profile your songs after loading new music or deleting as this is an index build process to play song 152 = title x. This includes accidental radio recordings to MP3s. RD2312 , RD2315, RD2317 Lyra™ mp3 flash player Firmware/Application Upgrade Version 3.11 fixes:
  • Supports a total of 520 songs, in up to 50 folders, with up to 8 levels of subfolders.
