Have they changed the model of the media player? The unit I received does not have any buttons on the top as indicated in the pictures.

The unit I received does have buttons on the top as shown in the picture. I'd send it back and get a unit that has buttons, incase the remote/batterr fails, you will still be able to use the player. You can also contact the seller "Century Accessory" using this link: https://www.amazon.com/gp/help/contact/contact.html?ie=UTF8&asin;=&isCBA;=&marketplaceID;=ATVPDKIKX0DER&orderID;=&ref;_=aag_m_fi&sellerID;=A2PWSOGHCTWUQW&

There are many variety's and models of this type of player. All pretty much do the same thing but look different

I could not tell you, When I received mine it had buttons on the top. However it did not work properly so I had to return it. I did find one from Western Digital for $99.00 at Office Depot and did not have to set anything up. It did cost a little more however I just pulged it in and it works great.

Mine was purchased as a gift so haven't had experience with the new version. Sounds like a defective unit. Don't think they are consumer fixable.

I did use media player, and I also downloaded from media player to their format. I found it was easier to download and use their program.

Nope! No access to the playlist or power buttons on top. I wish they would finally make a case that address the top buttons.

I had the same problem, the instructions stink! I thought that something would come up that would guide me as to what to do, duh! I am not great at electronic know-how, but I finally figured out that you need a program, like Windows Media, to work the thing, it has no program of its own. I opened up Windows Media Player and clicked on Sync. Then it showed the MP player and I figured it out from there.

does not exist the product is junk from china with a defect that will result in the unit not operating up and down key to go to media player

Thanks a lot for the reply. Sounds like this player does everything I want. Now, if Amazon would get them in stock...

I don't know, I returned the player, because it was not what I expected it to be. Read the service manual, it should give you details.

From the school of hard knocks. the long button the the left side is off/on. slide it down and hold it down to turn the unit on. once it is on, i use the 4 sides of the touch button below the visual display. the right side is play or stop and it is also enter or select. the left side is reverse or pop up one menu. all of my music is under Musc and then Albums. so i use the 4 edges of the bottom button to select the album i want to hear then i select play all. the right side button is volume. i have to press it a few times to adjust the volume. i use Windows Media Player on my desktop to rip music from my CDs to the desktop. then i copy it over to the file structure on the MP3 player. there is a setting or options button on the lower right side but i don't know how to use it. my guess is we can set the time of day and more.

I haven't had that exact problem. My only suggestion is to update your player's firmware. The manual tells you how, but really you just connect the player to your internet router with a cable and turn it on. It updates itself and when it's done you can remove the cable. I believe some of the newer disks have new "features" that can confuse the older firmware.

Sorry, I have used the player just a couple of times and think it starts where I stopped it. Not tech savvy enough to experiment either .And then remember what I did !

I have read the same thing, but both J&R Music and Amazon continue to sell this item -- is it an upgrade ... a NEW model ... or a close-out of the old potentially "defective" unit?

Though this one says media player I would not recommend it. It will not recognize or play all media files. It was extremely disappointed. You would be better off with either of the next two models up $50-70$ or 70$-100$ price range. I have had not problems with any files since making the upgrade.

I have a similar problem with mine. When I plug the player in, the software doesn't recognize it. I've tried different ports , too. (USB1&2) I never get the green audio lines on the graph. I tried reinstalling several times. In my review I stated that I payed for nothing more than a Walkman.

Hello, you may need to change the music mode, it supports MP3 format or MAV, thank you!

Like everyone else I didn't receive up instruction manual either. Does anyone know what the "sound" button is for or how to use it. Thanks
