daddyman Guest | does anyone have a solution to the lcd screen cut off that seems to happen after you flash the firmware to the current version and use a flash card.
Finally got the flash card to work, but now I can only get the bottom two lines of the lcd to work with the card inserted.

shawn Guest | Ive got the cheap mmp3642a but I was receiving the same error. The only thing that worked was plugging in the player with the card in it. Putting in the disc and going into the stusbmscform and dropping the drive down one.I tried every other option.

Scott Guest | All,
I receive the same “error reformat internal media to FAT!" message on my Memorex MMP8500. I’m glad to learn that the stusbmscformat.exe worked for others. I have no idea what to do with that though. Where do enter stusbmscformat.exe? Anyone able to help the technophobic?
Much thanks.

Katsu Guest | I own a MMP3642A, and can’t seem to get any type of card to work in it.
The only card I own that didn’t give me an error when I turned the player on was a Kodak 32MB, when I put it in the player, the player turned on and dispalyed a little card icon in the lower left hand corner (like I assume it’s supposed to do). I, however, could not figure out how to switch to the songs on the card... and, my computer more or less outright refused to let me drag and drop music to the card when it’s on the player.
I went out on a quest to fix up all these problems yesterday, and I navigated the memorex website. I found some firmware to download, but every time I attempt to install it on the player, everything goes awry. I’ve tried so many things that I’ve lost count of my failures, and how far I’ve gotten. All I know is that, currently, I get a “Error! Reformat Internal media with SigmaTel formatter” message when I turn the player on with the card in, and the website’s FAQ is no help whatsoever, since it keeps cutting off half of all the advice, and the search turns up nothing. Everytime I figure out how to put the device in “recovery mode” which takes a good minute of experimenting (and the ignoring the website’s partial instruction to “remove the battery and press play” and start to update the device, my computer freezes halfway, tries to install loads of stuff and then freezes, or, in the case of my last attempt yesterday, restarts itself and displays an message proclaiming that " The system has recovered from a serious error”. Any help at all will be appreciated... any help...

Brandon Guest | uuuuuuuuuuummmmmmmmmmmmm. the the only thing that I found out that was wrong with my way of making the sd card work for the mp3 player is that the drive is not always drive H it depends on the card and... other things that are unknown to me. hope this helps, though it probably won’t.

Scot Guest | I spent 2 hours tonight stumped on how to get my mmp3642 player to work and finally i broke out the best batteries i had,... rayovac IC3 AA’s... charged one up, threw it in my mp3 player, and it finally let me load files to my 256mb SD card, it never lets me do it unless i have almost 100% battery capacity anymore... anyways, hope this helped

Nick Guest | I had the same problem as the majority of you here. I reformatted using XP and FAT rather than FAT32. That did not work. I looked long and hard to find my CD, but it is long gone. Here is the link to Memorex and their formatting software for those of you who do not still have your CD.
http://www.memcorpinc.com/downloads/MMP3642.exe
(1.99 M
(It comes from the memorex link under General Support and Downloads => driver downloads)
Once you download it and unzip it, there will be a file on your C:/ that is called MMP3642.
Within that folder, you need to click on the “Programs” folder.
The program you are looking for is called “stusbmscformat”
A window will pop up and will be grayed out if your player is not connected up.
Once connected up, you can chose what drive to format using the drop down menu. I just formatted both and now I am good to go. Good luck!
Nick

Pat Guest | I have a MPD8300 and I can’t seem to make it play. I haven’t had i for very long a year maybe, but every time I put a CD in it says STOP ERROR [2]....Can somebody help me out

DrCrunch Guest | Hey, Katsu,
exactly how did you get your unit into recovery mode?
I have done everything that the partial, fragmented instructions on the memorex site have told me to do and I still cannot get proper operation from me3642.
The latest twist is after formatting the card with the stub...formatter, I no longer get the “media must be formatted..." error. I get a large hand with a circle (don’t do) symbol over it that proudly states HOLD! then the unit shuts down.
| |
| 27 Aug 2005 08:46 pm |
DrCrunch Guest | OK, got the hand symbol sussed. Means that the lock has been turned on. Sorry. Still can’t get the unit into recovery mode. Found a neat item for everyone else...if you right click on the drive in an explorer window to format the drive and allow your cursor to go over the recovery tab (mouse over for you Java types)it will flash up precise directions to get the unit into recovery mode...unfortunately. the instructions are wrong. Hey, it was an interesting discovery. The problem is that the play button is also the ON button so the instructions are inherently flawed. I am still on this after two nights. At least the software sees the 256Meg drive now, not the music match software, just the system.

YmkFX Guest | I’m having formatting issues with this player right now. I’ve tried formatting my 512mb cards as Fat and not Fat32 through windows, no dice. I’ve also downloaded and installed the Memorex software and found the formatting program mentioned in the error message. Alas I’ve come to a paradox. If the program must be used on the card when it’s plugged into the mp3 player with the player turned on, yet the player won’t turn on if the unformatted card is in the player, then how am I supposed to format the card while it’s in the player if I can’t turn the player on?
Props to Memorex on this fantastic piece of work. Is there any way I can format either of my cards using stusbmscformat.exe with them outside of the player? Is there any other method of formatting these cards as Fat16 instead of Fat32 outside of Windows XP’s built in formatting device? How can I get this goddam thing to work?
| |
| 07 Sep 2005 02:47 am |
YmkFX Guest | Fixed it.
Turns out I had the USB connector plugged in upside down, so the Mass Storage software wasn’t initializing and I was therefore gettin the error message and the player would shut off. Now with the plug in right the mass storage comes on and I am able to use the software to format my card through the player.
With the card formated, all of my music works. Thanks for the links to the software guys. Hope this helps anyone else who stumbles upon this via Google.

Mardein Guest | Hei! Does anybody know how to format a 1GB SD card so it works on a Memorex MX-60 FZ? PLS HELP! And one more thing - when I uploadeed files to the card using a car reader on a FAT32 system, at 300MB free space it says “can’t create file/folder ....." and i cannot create a new folder manually.

tsalvage Guest | I was using the MMP3642 player just fine 2 days ago and then i changed the songs on it and now im getting this message “Error! Reformat Internal Media with Sigma Tel Formatter”. I have looked above to try to solve my own problems but everyone else is having problems with memory sticks. I dont have, and have never had a memory stick in the thing. I dont understand what changed in the proccess that i went through.
Please help, Tim

linuxman Guest | Ok to help the confusion here. The drives have to be formatted fat12, not fat16 or fat32 and is why when you format in windows selecting fat it doesn’t work since that is fat16. The memorex formatting program is doing fat12 if you read what it shows after a format. Sometimes I have to do the memorex format and then use disk manager in windows to format it while the sigmatel is open and then it works. It might have to do with windows needing to have device manager refreshed or something. I’m a linux guy so it works to format it fat12 in linux because it’s formatting can do damn near any filesystem and blocksize with it. I’d be interested if a linux fat12 format would work on 1gb sd card as I don’t have one to try.
