need help with Disney Mix Stick

[iNTeNSeBLue98]

We gave DD a Mix Stick for Christmas. Today we downloaded music for the third time, and yet again have a number of corrupted files - files that play perfectly on the computer but when they transfer to the MP3 player the are really slow and distorted.

Is there a way to prevent this from happening? Can we check the quality of the songs before ripping them? As far as I know DH is doing everything correctly. The only possible problem is that other programs are being opened/viewed while the files are being transferred - although I stressed not to do anything else during that time.

You may have a bad Mix stix They are out there try to reformat the MS and start over .

Also when you convert your Mp3's use the highest setting this will take up more space but sometimes the compression of the lower setting do these type of things.

That's what I'm afraid of, that we have a bad MP3 player. I will try reformatting and try again. If it doesn't work, I'm returning it.

We reformatted and transferred songs back to the Mix Stick. We still have a few corrupted files - but now DD says some of them are the same that were a problem before. So, we definitely have some bad files that transferred. A good portion of the songs play just fine.

I tried a new technique, after downloading new files to a different location with the same results. Even though the files play perfectly on the computer, they just won't play properly through the MP3 player.

We had been adding the songs to the Sync List in Windows Media Player, but DH suggested that we drag and drop from the music folder to the device. That seems to have cured it.

I'm sorry I always use the Drag and drop right to the device or SD card from the I-tunes folder .
