it loads all the songs fine. it starts the track fine, but will only play the first 5 seconds and then give me this message: "Windows Media Player cannot find the specified file. Be sure the path is typed correctly. If it is, the file does not exist at the specified location, or the computer where the file is stored is offline."
how can it not find it if it started playing it on its own??
when i go back to my computer, to removable hardware, the mp3 player is empty. actually, the icon is there, but it doesn't even recognize that it exists because there is 0 free space and 0 used space under properties. what do i do?

Did the MP3 player come with a CD containing the drivers and software ?
If so INSTALL IT !

Is that music legally obtained music? Is ALL OF IT LEGALLY OBTAINED and licensed to you? Not p2p obtained music is it?
If it is and Windows Media Player Sharing Network Service is running as a process (check in Task Monitor, Processes Tab for the file WPMNetwk.exe), then you are getting just deserts.
You agreed to a EULA (or a # of them now), when you received, installed, or updated WMP as an item of software that you would not do that (be an alleged Pirate), and if you were caught doing that, that you give MS "and others" (others as in RIAA perhaps as Uncle Bill is a really really big contributor to the RIAA), the right to correct your actions, by allowing ANY NECESSARY CHANGES to help correct your acts of possibly alleged PIRACY.
Corrective action from an open door....Get Zone Alarm now, close that door if you like...not that they don't have probably 10 doors to take " whatever corrective action" you authorized via agreeing w/ the EULA's. But at least you'll see the doors.
Better yet...Buy your music like the rest of us. $0.99 cents a song these days w/ millions of songs avail....cheap enough.
Good Luck!
If in fact it's all purchased music w/ not 1 illegally obtained song within...Then refresh your music file licenses and try again. And I apologize for the inferring questions and allegations. (you would be part of a very select minority group as better than 80% according to the RIAA have non-legal music and other files on their drives...music being the largest segment of that). You sure you actually waited long enough for the actual file transfer to complete and copy to the drive/mp3 player and it was fully charged up?
Do? Check by using a rear USB port, maybe they are set for power saving? Did you format the player correctly? Install the proper software to the player?
