atrain Posted November 28, 2005 Report Share Posted November 28, 2005 it'll be the mp3 itself. i have had a problem like this. where are the mp3s from?what is the bitrate?are they actually mp3 not mp3pro?essentially you'll have to reconvert the mp3 to a more standard bitrate & delete them off you VP as it'd going to recrash it everytime you play them unitl they're fixed.

Minger Posted November 28, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 28, 2005 They are Regular MP3s, mostly above 192 kbps...I don't think them being VBR has anything to do with it, as maybe a ahndful of them are, but every one of them tha tI tried freezes up.Anyways, I'm just copying back through Sonicstage...it usually works then. If not, guess everything is going to...192 CBR or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSP62 Posted January 12, 2006 Report Share Posted January 12, 2006 (edited) Just to bring this old post alive, seems I am having the same problem as you guys.I transfered 1 track as a test onto my VP and it transfered okay. BUT the transfered file was read by MP3 FM as "aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa", so something bad happened and perhaps just the title was messed up. I tested even further and checked to see if my VP would play it. I found the track and it showed as "aaaaaaaaaaaa", what is even worse the VP froze just like you guys. But now I cannot even erase the track through MP3 FM or SS, because my PC doesn't show that the device is connected. I cannot shut it off and all is says is the "Switching to Data Transfer Mode"So now I think I am in big trouble. Can you guys give me some advise?PS - the track is 192kbps and is mp3Frustrated, JSPNOTE: I just noticed and I made a unconcious mistake when I transfered the track. I didn't even realize that the track had '+' character in the title.I know I saw some post that said certain characters cause trouble, right? What kind of trouble?Is this reason why I just froze my VP and cannot unfreeze?Still fustrated, JSP Edited January 12, 2006 by JSP62 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSP62 Posted January 12, 2006 Report Share Posted January 12, 2006 (edited) ***UPDATE***I am amazed at the power of google. Seems I found another site that talked about this. I just found out that there is a manual reset button on the VP. It is a tiny hole on the bottom.Hope this helps someone that has the similar problem.I am still interested though in understanding why the mp3 transferred with title "aaaaaaaaaaa". So if anyone can answer that I would be a smarter cookie. Edited January 12, 2006 by JSP62 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Stuge Posted January 12, 2006 Report Share Posted January 12, 2006 I am still interested though in understanding why the mp3 transferred with title "aaaaaaaaaaa".Please again Edit your Mp3 files tag via Sonic Stage or Anyother Software or Via Windows Explorer(Through Properties of the mp3 files ) .Editing tag again will solve your problem.
