I copied music from my PC (through Windows multimedia player) earlier on tonight and everything was working fine, music played back ok. So i re-connected it back up to add more songs. It has a 1GB memory,there was only 120 songs on it. When i tried to listen to the second set of songs i put on, it kept coming up 'unknown format'. What does this mean? I am baffled. I put songs onto my sons MP3 and they are working fine. Can someone give me some pointers. I know how to transfer songs over so this isn't a problem to me. I've just never had any error messages to be concerned over.

Oh and by the way, it doesn't have a battery. It charges through the PC. Thanks for your comments though

It may be due to the filetypes. As you know MP3 players play MP3 music (its something to do with the name) some will play other types of file including .wav and .ac3. On the other hand Windows media player is designed to recognise and play (and if requested tranfer) most types of music file out there. So it may work on the PC but not on the MP3 player.
If the MP3 player you have is different from your sons your sons may be able to play more filetypes than your own. If this is the case it would be necasary to convert the filetype back into MP3 type that your player will recognise.
If thats not the case its possibly some kind of memory corruption to do with the files. You could try deleting the files from the MP3 player and then re-transferring them and seeing if that will work.
Good luck.
