is there a way to make this piece of crap play mp3s?
i feel like i have wasted my money
It does play mp3’s. Use sonicstage CP installed from the link to transfer the music files. (not drag and drop from windows explorer).

or sonicstage on the CD supplied with it.
It also plays wma and sony’s Atrac formats
If you install the firmware update you will also be able to play AAC files (as used by Apple).
Does anyone know when these units will be available in the U.S.? Or do you know where they can be purchased overseas? I tried placing an order overseas, but all retailers said they will not ship MP3 players to the U.S.
hi…my mp3 very weird. how come most of my songs in mp3 format cannot be play? they do not appear in the all songs section.
like they said before use the software (sonic stage) to transfer your music
