How do I set up my mp3 player to receive my music files?
Attach a USB cable from a USB port on your computer to the USB
input on the bottom of your mp3 player. Make sure that the player is in
the Media Transfer Protocol (MTP) mode. This can be done by pressing
the M button. This button is the blue button on the right-hand side of
your player. Open Windows Media Player on your Windows 98 SE, Windows
2000, Windows XP, or Windows Vista machine.
Make sure you are using either version 9, version 10, or version 11 of Windows Media Player.
-
If you have version 9 and have Windows 98SE as your operating system,
you will need to visit the Download Center for updated drivers.
- If you have version 9 and run Windows XP, we recommend upgrading to version 10.
-
If you are running version 11 of Windows Media Player and run Windows
XP or Vista, you will require a firmware upgrade located in Download
Center.
If the firmware cannot be upgraded, you may refer to the following link
to return your Windows Media Player to version 10
(http://www.gpx.com/Downloads/Rollback_WMP_to_version_10.pdf).
How do I transfer music files into my player?
If you are using Windows Vista with Windows Media Player 11, you will need to follow these instructions.

and this device, the Device Setup Wizard starts.
-
In Device Setup - Configure Sync, write a name for your mp3 player.
-
Click Finish. The window closes and the Sync feature in the Player is displayed.

Playlists or Library and you will see the content of these folders in
the center pane.

Select the songs or entire albums from the center pane.
-
Drag these songs or albums into the Sync List, which is the right pane of the Sync feature.

What is the difference between the USB and MTP mode?
The USB mode uses a file transfer class called the MSC (Mass
Storage Class). This was developed as a way for files to be transferred
onto an external drive such as a flash drive or an external hard drive.
In this mode, your mp3 player will look and function like an external
hard drive in that it will appear in My Computer as a separate drive.
This transfer class is not very specific to the transfer of media files
so the MTP (Media Transfer Protocol) was introduced. The difference
with media files, specifically music files, is that they demand much
more management.
Downloading services can require special licensing and a limit on the
number of playbacks a music file can have. The acquisition,
restoration, updating, and backing up of these licenses as well as
compatibility issues with file type and compression ratio within these
digital music players demanded a more user-friendly and functional
approach to file transfers. For this reason, you will need to have
Windows Media Player 10 available on your computer to utilize MTP.
Those who have Windows Media Player 9 on their Windows 98 SE, Windows
Millennium Edition, and Windows 2000 operating system will need to
update using our Download Center. We recommend the use of MTP over MSC
(the USB mode on your player) because it is more specific to the
transfer of music files. To change this setting, press the blue button
on the right side of your player marked M.
Why am I not able to listen to my music files?
-
Check to see that when you rip a music CD that your music is not
copy protected. The RIP function in your Windows Media Player will
allow you to convert the music CDs you have purchased into either an
MP3 or a WMA format. To adjust the copy protection setting on your
ripped music files,
-
Open the Tools tab at the top of your Windows Media Player.
-
Select Options and then select the Rip Music tab.
-
Choose the type of music file as well as the quality with which you
would like to save the music. (Your GPX player has the ability to play
music files in both the MP3 and WMA format.)
-
Make sure to use MTP when transferring copy protected WMA files.
Why am I not able to transfer music files into my player?
Check to see that the HOLD button is not turned to the locked
position. If so, switch the hold button to OFF. The hold button is
located on the bottom of your player. Also, check to see that the files
you are attempting to transfer are in either the MP3 or WMA format.
Why is my player skipping tracks or reading an error?
You may be receiving an error message if you are playing a copy
protected music file. This may occur when you are loading a music file
into your mp3 player that has either been corrupted or it was
incompatible to play on your device. Certain mp3 players can sometimes
only play downloaded music from certain downloading services. Part of
the agreement with some music download services can be that even the
music that you have purchased can only be used by a certain number of
computers. Another limitation could be the number of times a music file
can be transferred to certain authorized devices.
Check with your music download provider about possibly updating or
restoring music licenses for purchased MP3s or WMAs. Another source of
error might be come from the version of Windows Media Player you are
using. If you are using version 9 or an earlier version, you will not
be able to transfer purchased songs or songs that are being sampled as
part of a subscription. To remedy this, upgrade to Windows Media Player
10.
What if I cannot troubleshoot an error message?
You will need to format your player. Note: Make sure all of your
music files are backed up on your computer or other storage device.
To format your GPX MP3 player,
-
Connect your player to your computer using your USB cable.
-
Within the Start menu, select My Computer.
-
In the My Computer folder, right-click on the icon representing your GPX player.
-
Click Format from the list of options provided. Warning: Formatting
your MP3 player will erase everything you have stored inside your
player. (A warning will pop up to make certain that this is the choice
that you want to select.)
-
Once your player is formatted, reload your music files onto your GPX player.
Why is the use of Windows Media Player recommended?
We recommend the use of Windows Media Player because it acts as a
filter for what your MP3 player will have the licensing rights to play.
If you open the window of your MP3 player and open another window that
contains your music files, you can transfer music files by dragging the
icon that represents a particular music file into the window for your
MP3 player. However, this method will only copy these files without
differentiating between playable and unplayable music files. Windows
Media Player will display a synchronization error if the correct
licensing is not in place. Contact your music download provider if
there is a conflict between what files should and should not be
playable.
