Oh, and to make things more painful, the font is MingLiu (open a MS Word document to see what it looks like). After setting up all the songs in each individual folder, I have to press to the Confirm button every time in order to play the song. When I press Confirm, a screen shows...Read more

The Player keeps freezing and the only way to get it to come back on is to take the battery out and put it back in.
