the problem is that the player does not play any mp3 file for more than 10 secs n then it changes the track, otherwise the player is fine, like it plays video, runs radio n records voice fine. i could not figure out the problem. i was wondering if anyone could help, following is the readme file that came with it:-


This is the customized Windows host software for SigmaTel MSCN Audio Player. Please verify that all the text and graphics are acceptable and let us know immediately if any changes are required.

This is a USBMSC host software implementation and will require USBMSC firmware (built using sdk 2.400 or later) with matching USBMSC Vendor and Product IDs as well as matching SCSI VENDOR and PRODUCT IDs. The firmware binaries shipped with this host, if any, were used to test your host applications and drivers on SigmaTel development hardware. You must replace the SigmaTel binaries with your hardware-specific firmware for proper operation of your player.

Please read the release notes at this site if you are upgrading your player to SDK 2.400:

The readme is from the firmware updater for your player. If you install the software onto your computer, you should be able to reflash your player and fix your problem. To install it, doubleclick on the setup.exe file, which should be in the same folder as you found the readme. After the installation is complete, you'll find the updater program listed in your programs list, under the START button. Before you use the updater, note that it will reformat the player, deleting all the songs you have on it, so back them up before proceeding. When you're ready to reflash, start the updater, and plug the MP3 player into the USB port (easier if you use an extension cable). You should see the program find your device. To continue with the reflash, click the START button. Do not unplug the player until it finishes.

If it doesn't find the device (ie, the START button stays greyed out), remove the battery from it, and hold down the PLAY button while you plug it into the USB port. Don't let the PLAY button go until you see the program start to find the MP3 player. It takes as long as 10 seconds or so.

Copy your music back on and it should be good to go again.
