    I managed to get hold of 2 for my kids but I'm having trouble getting the PC to recognize them when I plug them into the USB port.

    The MP3 player lights up and starts charging but there is no indication of the player on 'My Computer'.

    I am running Windows XP.

    Any help appreciated.

    XP should recognise them when they get connected to a USB port.
    Try connecting when the PC is up and running.
    If that fails press the tiny re-set switch on the back of MP3 with a pencil point or cocktail stick.

    Thanks... I was using a USB 1.0 port but after resetting the player XP recognised it so I plugged it into a USB 2.0 port.

    If you plug it into a usb1 port a bubble should popup saying this device can work faster if you connect it to a usb2 port.

    Hi all!
    It's my first thread, so bear with me!
    I have just ordered one of those from Argos:

    Bush PMP512N 512MB MP3 Player

    Can be found here:
    http://www.argos.co.uk/static/Product/partNumber/5133996/Trail/C%24cip%3D49550.Sound%2Band%2Bvision%3EC%24cip%3D49628.MP3%2Bplayers%3EC%24cip%3D49630.MP3%2Bplayers%2Bwith%2Bportable%2Bsolid%2Bstate.htm

    It's a very good deal I think, as it also takes Sd cards to get a bigger memory. Rechargeable battery as well. I've just seen one of them as my colleague got one, and they look fab too! Same size as my Ipod nano.

    Have a look on Kelkoo - loads of the adapters (or do a search via MutualPoints ;))

    Hi,
    I might buy the 1gb one so i dont need to worry about SD cards, so it kinda makes up for the £22.49 price tag over the £17 and £10 i missed out on.
    I got some queestions though:

    1. Does the charge actually last 8 hours? Usually its rated by having the player on the lowest volume with the most power saving options on. So when you want to listen to it a bit louder the power only lasts about 5 hours. IS this the case with this one?

    2. Does it only have these functions:

    Repeat, repeat all, shuffle repeat functions.

    3. Does it have an equalizer?
