Ilo mp-556 Im copying my cds into my music on my computer. Then im copying thew onto the mp3, but it reads license expired after the title of each song and wont play anything.

MP3 players can only play 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. Click on this link for instruction on converting music files to mp3 file format :- http://www.fixya.com/support/r5798418-creating_transferring_mp3_music_files

try putting a folder on the sd card name it Music then put your music on that

plug it up to the computer go to my computer right click the drive for the mp3 player and reformat the drive you also might want to remove the music before reformating it or you will lose the music

before copying the songs into mp3 player first format the card in the mp3 player after that insert the card into computer and copy all the songs what ever you want

Thank u
Take Care
Bye

YOU HAVE TO SYNC THROUGH MEDIA PLAYER - IT DOES NOT RECONGIZE SONGS IF YOU JUST COPY THEM ONTO THE SD CARD.

FOR VISTA -This player only seems to be able to transfer MP3 format with Vista, using windows media player syne. Unless someone found otherwise.

FOR XP PRO When using XP Pro and Windows Media Player you can transfer WMA but you have to go into the PROPERTIES of the drive (mine was mp-556/G: drive) and DESELECT the option to transfer FOLDER HEIRECY. The MP3 player is not able to reconginize the folder structure it usually creates by default.

Where are you downloading music from?

when you pull up your music delete it on the computer while the mp3 is plugged in

You should backup your data and format the player. Plug her in, copy your music onto your computer, then format it by right clicking the drive in My Computer, then going to Format, then clicking Start. After it's finished, copy your music back over to the player and it should be sorted.
