What does Error 4 mean?

My Coby mp3 player was playing just fine until about a week ago. I was listening to a song, then hit browser to change it. As soon as I selected a song the music stopped and Error 4 scrolled on the screen where the song title should have been. The only way you could get out of it was to turn the player off. I uploaded the songs and they all played just fine. What should I do?

  1. Go out and sell it on ebay. Say only one problem with it. And under description say special software needed to use correctly. make sure it is at a low price and yoou put correctly, cuz half th people on ebay dont use the things correctly.

Take your sales receipt and player back for a refund. These players have so many glitches,hiccups,and charging problems that they should be pulled off the shelves. If the player performed as well as it looks then it'd be a nice gadget but this is unfortunately not the case...

What does audio file format error means

Hi nancy c...
Your player is telling you that you have the wrong format to play songs on it...you will have to change your file formats of your songs to play on your player.
Here are the formats that your player will play:
Audio: MP3, WMA, ACC, FLAC, WAV
Video: AVI (MPEG-4 / XviD)
Photo: JPG, BMP, GIF
Bud.
You can download a free format converter at this webpage:

Check the specs for your player on this webpage...

I have MiTone mitmp32 , bought week ago in duty free shop in Netherlands. The problem is, when i try to change the album or artist in the main music menu, it always gets back to a specific song(album) that...

I have the same problem and it irritates me like crazy. A weird thing that seems to work is when you want to switch off your mp3 player, put it on pause and let it switch itself off automatically. When you next switch it on, it will be on that same song and not some random one you listened to ages ago. Seems to work for me. Do you have any idea how to play music on shuffle by the way?

001/001 songs!! Ihave 44!

The licenses could have expired on the songs, or you have a corrupt database - format the player or get a firmware upgrade to resolve a DB error. Double-check the licenses on the songs to make sure they have not expired.

Error 4

Just talked to Coby and they say there is no fix, and that the it is really Error 41. Resetting or formatting the unit are the only fix actions they advise customers to try, so if that does not fix your problem your stuck mailing your unit back to them. If it has been less than 90 days, they will only request you send them $6, otherwise it is $31 for a replacement. Get what you pay for I guess. This will be my second return on my son's xmas gift.
