Its a great pleasure to own a portable MP3 audio video player. You can carry your songs and favourite videos everywhere you go. Here, I am providing few tips on how to use your Philips MP3 player.
If you have an older version, you can simply use drag and drop method to transfer music from your computer to your MP3 player. You can also use Windows media player 11 to transfer music. Here is a link:

www.rhapsody.com/mac_faqAll new players use Philips Songbird software. You need to transfer the video and audio files using Philips songbird. You can also use drag and drop method for the audio files which are in MP3 format. You need to transfer the Videos to the Songbird library and then transfer them to your player. You can install Songbird from the CD that came in the box, or download it from Philips support site.
Here is how to Rip CD using songbird:
Insert the CD into your computer and launch Songbird.
Once the CD is detected, it will automatically show up on the Philips Songbird screen.
Click the "Rip CD" on the right hand side and the ripping process will begin.
You need to transfer the Videos to the Songbird library and then transfer them to your player. Here is how to transfer files from songbird to your MP3 player:
1. Click "File" in the toolbar and select "Import Media". Choose the folder that stored your media files.
2. Select the media files that you want to transfer and then Right Click to display a drop list (You can press and hold the Ctrl button on the keyboard to select more than one file).
3. Select "Add to Device" and "(Your player model)".
Or you need to go to Songbird library and then drag and drop the files to your MP3 player's icon on the Songbird software.

Okay, thanks for letting me know. Also, I didn't have this problem with my MP3, I had it with the files on my computer. I hadn't synced by MP3 in months, so it was fine. My music files weren't the only thing messed up. Windows Media Player was also screwed up to the point that it wouldn't accept new folders to the library, or accept new, uncorrupted music at all. I had to disable WMP and go through a whole slew of other things to get it fixed. Also, songbird is a media player, I didn't even know there was an illegal music site of the same name.
I wasn't very clear in my original post, my mistake. (Sorry.) The problem wasn't with my mp3, it was fine.All of this happened on my laptop.
Most of you were right, about it being the wrong file type. Songbird had changed the format, corrupting them to the point they weren't playable anymore. It messed them up so bad, that I couldn't go under my music folder and edit the titles, or anything else, manually.
Somehow, it also corrupted my Windows Media Player. Or I had two problems at once. Which I can't see happening to this extent. But I'm not a tech guru so I could be wrong.
It wouldn't accept new folders for my library, when I tried it said that ***/*** directory had been moved or some ****. It was supposed to lead to a folder that I've never had on my comp, ever!
Trying to change the files back to their original format, didn't work. I had to delete everything off of my comp, disable WMP, and created the X directory it told me no longer existed (That never existed in the first place.), then enable WMP. That fixed the not being able to add new folders to my library problem. Once it would accept new folders, I went through WMP and deleted the X directory from my library. I've had no trouble from it since.
As for the rest, I just used my mp3 to put my music back on my comp. I lost the music I had bought since the last time I synced but all things considered, it was a huge improvement.
Also, to be clear. I had no idea there was an illegal music download site called songbird. I am talking about a media player, that I downloaded from getsongbird.com. It was recommended to me by a friend. Who has never had these problems.
My files were my own and they were all originally in mp3 format.
