New member Username: Becky_bBristolUK Post Number: 1 Registered: Jul-05 | Could someone please help me! I bought a sumvison 1gb M18 mp3 player with fm radio, I had problems with it so contacted the dealer and now have a replacement. I'm still having problems and I'm wondering if it's me or my pc. I'm using windows xp and media player 10. I've downloaded tracks from a legal site (tesco) but I cannot (however hard I try!) save them onto my mp3 player so that they play. They are definately on the player because I can see them when I look at the device through the pc and they will play from the player through media player. When I try to play them on the player itsef it says 'format error' and turns itself off. I have checked the licences and they say the tracks can be syncronized, I've tried downloading directly to the player form tesco's site, I've tried synchronizing using media player and I've tried copying and pasting the wma files whilst in my documents. This is driving me mad as the whole reason I bought the thing was to save downloaded tracks to it. Can someone please help before I go insane!!!! Thanks in advance |

Anonymous | You might want to check the type of WMA file you are trying to download. Microsoft have released "WMA Lossless", and "WMA VBR" (Variable Bit Rate). The original codec being "WMA CBR" (Constant Bit Rate). I'm not certain but it is possible that the player cannot play anything but WMA CBR. Try creating a Constant Bit Rate track using Windows Media Player (Rip from CD, set type to WMA CBR) and download that to the player, if it plays you may need to convert the other files you have to MP3 or WMA CBR. |

Ratheon Unregistered guest | I thought of buying Sumvision 1GB MP3 Player but from what I read here I'm in doubt now. May I know what is the player controller chip? |

Anonymous | Bought one of these 1gb MP3 players for my daughter as Christmas present. Very disappointed as it keeps coming up with NO MUSIC on the display after 10 minutes. Tried to reformat it both via the menu and via the computer. Then checked the booklet (which was written in very poor English). Tried the low level utility on the CD that came with it but the utility does not even recognise the MP3 player so cannot low level format it. Finally tried to visit the sumvision website at: www.sumvision.com.cn and surprise, surprise, there is no such website!!! So after a ruined Xmas due to this dodgy present, I now have to face the joys of having to return this item (at my expense ofcourse) and having to wait for a refund. My advice is: KEEP AWAY FROM THIS ONE, NOT WORTH THE HASSLE. |

Anonymous | Just got one as a replacement and having problems - keeps saying "Format error!" when it tries to play the subsequent track but can be jogged forward and will play but have to do this for every track! looks like this will be going back - unless Firmware is 2004 - worth checking the gemstar |

New member Username: JproscoePost Number: 1 Registered: Apr-06 | How can I stop the interference on my Sumvision M18? A couple of months ago I bought a 1gig SUMVISION M18 MP3 player, but realised there must have been some fault with it as on all the tracks a kind of electronic/fluttering interference sound could be heard. This was most noticable on quieter tracks. There seems to be no problem with the tracks themselves, as when the player is plugged into the computer, playback does not result in interference, even when using headphones. I tried everything to try and correct the problem - various types of reformatting, different files types/qualities, different sources of music, different programmes for saving the music, different headphones, etc, but nothing seems to work. I eventually decided to send the player back and get a replacement - the new one arrived today and it has the same problem despite coming from a new batch! This is so frustrating and I haven't found an example of this same fault on a SUMVISION M18 anywhere! Has anyone had a similar problem at all, and can anyone suggest anything to fix it? Meanwhile - anyone planning on getting one, then I would not advise it, this has driven me mad and so many other people are having faults that it's not worth the risk. |

New member Username: PauliPost Number: 1 Registered: Apr-06 | Okay, Sumvision website is working, but it's really stupid and pointless visiting. If your device is not reading the music which you put on, but the pc can see it, here is what i suggest you do... 1. Firstly take all the music off the device and save it into a folder (as you will be deleting these from the device). 2. Please now go to "my computer" right click on the mp3 device (in my case it's "removable disk F:") select "format..." 3. Then tick the box "quick format" do not change any other settings. Then press "start" Wait a moment for this to finish, it will look like it's not working, but it is. 4. Then unplug the device, and watch it format by itself, once this has completed, plug it back in. 5. Retry adding back the music. Enjoy! |

New member Username: MatcalPost Number: 1 Registered: May-06 | Don't know if this has already been established, but the MP3 player cannot understand folders. So if you want to put music on it, you need to move each mp3/wma file into the root directory of your e:/f: drive (whichever drive letter your mp3 player is) |

New member Username: PauliPost Number: 2 Registered: Apr-06 | what do you "ganesh" I have tried the same thing but 2GB converted in 108MB Please help? I'm not understanding what you are saying. As for "Vaibhav" did you install a driver for your Sony NS-11, or did your operating system find it for you as a removable disk? Also, have you placed any music on the drive yet? |

New member Username: GanusrsSirsi, Karnataka India Post Number: 3 Registered: Jun-06 | Dear Paul, As per your suggestion i had follwed following steps Firstly took all the music off the device and save it into a folder (as you will be deleting these from the device). Went to "my computer" right click on the mp3 device (in my case it's "removable disk J:") select "format..." Then tick the box "quick format" do not change any other settings. Then press "start" Wait a moment for this to finish, it will look like it's not working, but it is. Then unplugged the device, and watch it format by itself, once this has completed, plug it back in. after this procedure the memory ( Free space of Mp3 player ) got reduced to 108 MB initially it was 1.96GB Approx 2GB |

New member Username: PauliPost Number: 4 Registered: Apr-06 | Ganesh, Okay, reformat again, onlt this time where you tick quick format, you have a "allocation unit size" change it to the size of your mp3 player. then Ta-Da! Sorry for the mistake. I usually have found no problems with not touching this setting. |

|
New member Username: PauliPost Number: 5 Registered: Apr-06 | Which operating system are you using? Secondly what exactly is the problem; what do you mean re-firmware it? do you mean reformat? If you are on windows XP then it should notice this mp3 immediately. If you are not using XP and you are after a driver then go direct to technika if possible through their web page if they have one. |

New member Username: BowlyndPost Number: 2 Registered: Sep-06 | what i mean is i want 2 upgrade my firmware and i cant find a firmware 4 it i have xp home |
|
New member Username: PauliPost Number: 6 Registered: Apr-06 | why do you need to upgrade it? usually these types of mp3 players are standard removable drives for Xp, hence there are no way of upgrading. Is there a problem? |
|
New member Username: BowlyndPost Number: 3 Registered: Sep-06 | the music keeps going funny it keeps going off and on and it enoying me i re formatted it and diffrent ways of trying 2 do it but its still doing the same thing so thats y i want 2 upgrade it |

New member Username: PauliPost Number: 7 Registered: Apr-06 | oh okay, it needs flashing, okay that's probably out of my hands - i would send it back to the manufacturer if you have warranty left/or take it back to tesco, see what they say that they can offer you. I don't mean this in a cruel way, but most of these small things at the lower end of the market tend to brake and go wrong through experiance of seeing my sister go through about 6 of them. I have a sony hd3 (not to brag) but it lasted me over a year with no problems. I am most certain there is no way to flash the brand you have from software/firmware due to it not being a common one, so definately get in contact with them if you have or even if you haven't the reciept. I understand the price of these mp3 players are still a lot of money. I hope this helps, you can always email me paul_evans75@hotmail.com however, soon i have to get going to sleep. Sorry couldn't help you more. |

BTW firmware is what's installed in the device by default. For instance, your computer's BIOS is the firmware. The Operating System is run by the firmware. On your Sony this has no importance. |
