How did you transfer them - was it file transfer or via Phillips own software?

Were you trying to add from a cd or from the internet as the internet ones can have a different format.

have put cd on to computer and it seems to go on mp3 but when you go to play back a box comes up on it saying file format not supported

I have had my cd of instructions out and can't see anything on there. The only thing I can suggest is you save your music to your computer and re formatt the player. This though will wipe your player clean. This is only guess work as well . Sorry can't be any more helpful.

Ok - first play your Cd in Windows Media Player,
Then check the top menu and find "RIP" - click on it
select your CD in the drive, it will now rip all songs on it (few mins) and convert them to MP3 format or wma format
either is ok. I like MP3 as it will play anywhere.
Save into the folder of your choice or make a new folder and name it, and then save these tracks.
you should now be able to copy them into your player and should work ok.

If it's a vista issue, also look out for a software update fix, or borrow a PC/Laptop with XP to do it.

They are a brilliant invention. When you think years ago you used to have to take a cd or even tape player and the cds and tapes as well.

How times have changed when you think back to all the things you did take and never even used as well. With the weight restrictions we have now which are sometimes srictly followed you wouldn't be able to take the old cd players and cds.

Flying with thomas cook so only have 15 kilos allowance,Travel much lighter these days. Borrow an electric blanket from Nicos now instead of taking my own! LOL!!

What a joke Thomas Cooks luggage allowance is - 15Kg. They then sting you at the airport (especially the return airport), for Loads-a-money if your'e a little over. I try to avoid flying with any of the 15Kg airlines.
