Why am I not able to
listen to my music files?
Make sure 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,
1. Open the Tools tab at the top of your Windows Media Player.
2. Select Options and then select the Rip Music tab.
3. Under this menu, you will be able to choose the type of music file as well
as the quality with which you would like to save the music.
4. Make sure the box next to Copy protect music is left unchecked.
5. 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?
Make sure the hold switch is not turned to the locked
position. If so, adjust the hold switch to the left, the opposite direction the
arrow indicates. The hold switch is located on 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 downloadable music 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.
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 shouldn't be playable.

How can I change the
EQ presets on my mp3 player?
Hold the M button until your mp3 player cycles through the
different EQ settings.
There is not enough
physical space to plug in my mp3 player directly to my computer’s USB port,
what can I do?
You can purchase an USB extension cord to provide the space
to connect your mp3 to your computer.
Moments after pausing
a song my mp3 player turns off, how do I turn it back on?
Slide the power switch to the Off position and then slide it
back to the On position.
Can I use DRM files
from a subscription service with this mp3 player?
No, DRM 10 can not load subscription service songs onto this
player.
