hi. i was wondering.. I use a RCA Lyra mp3 player that i got from a friend for free. (USB cord included) and i was wondering how to download .mp3 songs onto the mp3 player. When i was reading your tip on how to do this i found that i didn’t have a removable hard disk and im using windows XP so i was wondering whats wrong with my computer or where i need to look for the Removable Hard Disk. (and yes.. i’m not an idiot. the mp3 player is hooked up to the computer.) so if you would please help me. that would be awesome, thanks for your help.
It’s useful to have a specific model number, but fortunately it appears that the RCA Lyra MP3 players all use the same general interface, and it’s pretty easy to find the user’s guide for the Lyra series on the RCA Web site.
Here’s how I found it: I went to Google, clicked on “Advanced Search”, and specified the name of your product and that I was only interested in results that were in PDF format. The #1 match?
RCA Lyra MP3 Players: RD1021, RD1071, RD1075
According to that document, you need to ensure that you press the PLay button once the unit’s connected to your computer:
Unfortunately, it appears that the referenced “Software Instruction Manual” isn’t available online, so you might need to call RCA (or Radio Shack: they sell the Lyra players too) to get a copy of that. But I bet if you hook things up and push Play you’ll get it working.
If not, go to the RCA Audio / Video site and search for your specific player by model number. If you have an RD1028, for example, you can download the necessary WinXP drivers straight off their Website.
Hope that gets you up and running!

I have an RCA M2104 model MP3 player. I’ve plugged it into computer. This web site that I’m using to write you this question says I should press Play and then “USB Connected” will appear on the screen. But I do this and all the display says is “Battery Full”. Also, I’ve downloaded ther user manual for this MP3 player and it doesn’t even have a diagram of what the MP3 keys are, so I’m not really sure I’m pressing the “Play” button. Can you guide me?
I have a RCA M4002A mp3 player. I haven’t used it in about a year. I have recharged the battery, but when I try to turn it on nothing happens. When I have it pluged into the computer it says the battery is full and that it is transferring files. But unplugged I can’t get it to do anything. Any ideas or do I just need to buy a new one.

I have had an RCA Lyra M51 MP3 player for about 1 year. Today, it will not turn on. The screen says Boot error, shutting down.& it does shut down. I tried resetting it, but, nothing different. Can you tell me how to fix this. I don’t live near where I bought it, so, cannot bring it back. Thank you so much.

hey dave i have a question about a very cheap brand of mp3 player, hip street, i followedall the instructions and referreed to manual, tried toask microsoft and couldnt find a website for the company who makes them. this mp3plyr has no setup disc and builtin usb. wmp is suppoosed to automatically detect the device in order to sync. the computer detects the device but no matter how many different ways i try to hook it up wmp doesnt detect the mp3 player and keeps on saying i need to connect device, even tho when i plug it in 2 usb, wmp starts playing the sample music that come with it automatically, im running vista and the manual says its compatible but i cant put my music on due to these facts. i dont understand, i tried formatting the mp3 and everything, its the most frustrating and useless mp3 plyr ive ever had. i was hoping maybe u kno y this is, helpful suggestions and/or a different media plyr that might be compatible with this brand of mp3 device.
