MP3 player won't mount, content corrupted

pickarooney · 2011-04-22 10:20:00

I copied a few gigs of music onto my mp3 player last night (from my Ubuntu machine). This morning when I went to play it I noticed nearly all the tracks were corrupted in some way (tag info, songs with 0 length...). I tried to connect it to a Windows PC this morning and though it detects a new USB MP3 player I can't view…

I copied a few gigs of music onto my mp3 player last night (from my Ubuntu machine). This morning when I went to play it I noticed nearly all the tracks were corrupted in some way (tag info, songs with 0 length...). I tried to connect it to a Windows PC this morning and though it detects a new USB MP3 player I can't view the contents. The player has an option to use a USB or MTP interface but I can't see any files either way.

So I formatted the player (using its own software) but I still can't access the disk from Windows.

Any ideas?

You've tried various usb ports on the computer? When it's plugged in go to device manager and uninstall it. Then plug it out and plug it back in. What mp3 player is it?

Umm, turns out in Windows it mounts to two separate drive letters at once and I was trying to read/write the wrong one!
