Samsung player reset my files? - Samsung YP-K3 MP3 Player

Possible that the player has encountered problems with corrrupt files and so has hung up.
it will be good to reset the player but you can connect the player to your PC to check the files on the memory. Scan the files and see if there are faulty files , if so remove/copy to a marked folder and format the memory. Then you can copy back only approved files back to the player.

• Turn on your computer. Connect your Samsung MP3 player to your PC via the USB cord. Power on your Samsung MP3 Player.
  

  Click on "Open folder to view files" when it pops up or click on my computer and select the Samsung "drive."
  

• Transfer music. A folder will appear containing all music files on your Samsung Player. Click and drag any music files from your computer to this folder to add them to your MP3 player.
  

• Wait until the transfer is finished to disconnect your Samsung MP3 Player.
  

Go into system settings choose to reset it to Factory Settings, Or hold down the little reset button on the back with a tooth pick.

I have own both a YP-T10 and YP-S5 samsung MP3 players and have experienced this myself, (1) First I checked what format my music was in and also where it is located on my MP3. (2) Then I tried resetting it, You can do this by pressing the rest button on the back, Its a small hole only big enough to fit a needle or a pin into it. It won't delete any files, Only reset the player. Then plug it back into your comp, if the files show in 'My Computer' and 'EmoDio/Samsung Media Studio' they should work fine in your MP3 player again:) Otherwise you might have to back it up and format the player but try the first 2 steps first.

Try resetting the player while it's connected to the PC.

If the files are not back, you have to transfer them again from your PC back to the player, assuming these are backed up. There's no way to "retrieve" these files on the player itself.

Reset the unit by holding down the REST button until the unit shuts off by itself.

Resetting the unit will not delete files off of the player
