Frequently Asked Questions

This section covers questions you might have while using your player.

Why does my player skip certain tracks?

The player will only play valid media formats (MP3 and WMA files). Other types of media formats are skipped.

Why are some files/tracks corrupted when transferred to my player?

Why does my player turn off immediately after it is turned on?
