How to Put Songs on Disney Mix Max


The Disney Mix Max portable media player is capable of playing audio files in the MP3 format. It can also play videos formatted as WMV and display photos formatted as JPEG. You can convert audio files into MP3 using the Disney Mix Max software -- Mix It Plug-in. The plug-in works with Windows Media Player 10. This software CD came with the player and is not available online. To download music to the device, you can use Windows Media Player 10 or Windows.

Tips & Warnings

If you converted files using the Mix It Plug-In, you will need to use Windows Media Player 10 to sync them to the player.

Your sd card is to big go down to a 2gb card on the 512mb mix max. Only the mix max plus will support 4gb cards. Also I could never get windows to support files so i used pocket dvd wizard to convert it is 15 bucks well spent and you can convert with the card in the device and save it to windows media to drag and drop in the future.

There are several types of chargers you can use with the mix max....car charger, wall charger, USB to computer (FYI turn your computer off while charging and it stops), and my favorite - the speaker station. Just do a search for disney mix max charger on the internet, amazon, or ebay and several options will come up. I like the speaker station because it is easy to charge with it and lets my daughter use it as a stereo and dance unit if she wants.

Try pressing the reset button with a thumb tack or paper clip. That will turn the player off and then you should be able to move the hold switch to the off position and turn the player on normally.

Yep you sure can. Depending on the version of Windows Media Player that you have it's pretty easy to rip the CD and then sync it to your Mix Max. I recommend using Windows Media Player 11 as it's the easiest so I'd recommend you install that first. Then insert your CD into your computer, open Windows Media Player and click on the "Rip" button at the top. Select the tracks on the CD that you want to add to the player and click "Start Rip." Once the tracks have completed ripping click on the "Sync" button at the top right of Windows Media Player. Then just drag the tracks from the library on the left to the sync list on the right and click "Start Sync."

Did you try the reset button. you have to place a pin point or paper clip in the hole to reset.

You may need to update the firmware on the player in order to be able to play the Max Clips.

I have the same problem with my daughters Tinkerbell mix max. Any suggestions?

You don't need the software, it's optional. You can still connect the player and sync audio to it with the sync page in Windows Media Player 11.
