MP3 woes
By far my biggest problem with my mp3 player is corrupted files, especially when they don’t actually look corrupted on the outside. They’ll play fine on my computer, but the minute I try to move them to my player, they’re suddenly unreadable or incompatible with my device.
This is so, so frustrating for me, because I download songs legally – I believe in supporting the artists – but I still have problems like this even after a legitimate music purchase. I paid for it. It’s mine. Shouldn’t I be able to transfer it to whatever device I want? Why do I have to go through all this when I’ve done exactly what the music industry wants to to?
I also have problems copying songs from my computer to my device. They’ll transfer, but then they won’t play. I’ll see it on my screen but be unable to access it. I used to think the problem was when I moved files, but after testing, this isn’t the case. To this day I still don’t know what causes it – what’s going on when my mp3 player acts like this. I have to disconnect my device and then re-juice it in order to make everything work again.
Sometimes I wonder if my mp3 player is worth all this trouble, but of course that’s just the frustration talking. Still, it would be nice to be able to listen to music without all these inconveniences. It would be nice to have an mp3 player that actually played mp3s!
My MP3 Player had more bad problems than good points
I usually consider myself to be relatively savvy when it comes to technology and all of the gadgets. That is why it was extremely frustrating for me to face a lot of problems with my MP3 player that I recently purchased.
I have a lot of music on my computer, so I was naturally excited to get some of these songs onto the player. Unfortunately, the entire process of copying the songs over was extremely nerve-racking. The software that is supposed to go with the MP3 player is available as a free download online. The first two times I went online, the download was unavailable. Once I finally got the software download started, it froze up my computer about half way through the process. I had to force quit and start over. The four try was successful. The program seemed pretty straightforward as far as the procedure to copy the songs over to the player, but it did not work well at all. Many of the songs would not transfer and many others would be displayed with an error stating that the file was corrupt or it was in the wrong file type. In every instance, I knew this to be untrue since I have had these songs on other MP3 players and they work just fine.
After I got most of my songs loaded and began listening to the player, I came to find that the battery would drain pretty quickly. This is frustrating for me since I am often on long trips where I like to listen to music and books on tape.
Overall, the MP3 player seemed to have more problems than good points.
Both your comments are pretty interesting. Let me just tell you in both cases, it sounds like the issue is not with the mp3 player. Some files are designed not be transferred so as to prevent piracy but they can be a real pain. I would say just download a common version from a website and your problem would be solved. As for the battery, I do not think the problem would go beyond fixing the recharge cycle! Recharging and draining the battery properly would solve these issues and if nothing seems to work, might need a battery replacement!
One important thing Mike missed here is the bit rate of MP3 files. Some MP3 files have a higher bit rate which increases quality as well as size of the files but some players do not support such high bit rates. In such cases, users would have to convert the higher bit rate files into lower ones to get them playable on the player. I personally use Audacity for converting my MP3 files. It is pretty simple to use.
