Re: MP3 player and USB



Okay, getting somewhere now. So I Googled "Media Transfer Device" and read
a whole lot of confusing stuff about protocols and whatever, but to cut to
the chase, the MP3 player won't show up in Windows unless at least Media
Player 10 is installed. I hate MediaPlayer but installed v 11. Bingo, up
pops my MP3 player and shows me its contents etc etc.

No, I don't know why.

Thanks for the help.

Thanks for the thought, Ray, but no, it doesn't show up in My Computer
either....

Just a thought... You don't mention opening My Computer and seeing if
Windows is seeing the mp3 player there,

Windows is recognizing your device as it pops up the dialog with your
devices name in it, it just doesn't have any programs associated with
your device to suggest.

Try opening My Computer and see if your mp3 player is there, it should
appear as an extra drive, and can be accessed just like any other drive.

My MP3 player is not recognised by my PC when I plug it into a USB
port. My PC recognises and operates all the other USB devices that I
use.

When I plug in the MP3 player a helpful window pops up called "MTP
Media Player" that asks me what I want Windows to do. Despite sounding
so helpful, the window is empty of suggestions.

In System Properties, Hardware, Device Manager, an MP3 player is
shown. It shows up with a new entry, "Windows Portable Devices - MTP
Device". It alleges that everything is working. But it is not.
