512MB Samsung Chip MP3 Player - Formated

[charic]

Hi there ..............I run the MP3 player in exactly the same way, just drag and drop, works every time, no worries.
However, I`m not sure why everyone is formatting their MP3 players?
There seems to be no reasons given?
One of mine had a virus, so thats the reason I carried out a format. But make sure that its either formatted using the software supplied, or if in Windows, then format it using FAT and not FAT32.........so the Guru`s tell me. That particular player was sent back and replaced by the dealers in HK. but trying to fix one player, and trying to copy from another is how I damaged the other (3rd) MP3 Player? So now we still have 2 out of the 3 working, but still waiting to get that magic fix!
I`m almost ready to just buy another one and be done with it. When the new one arrives, the slightest problem, I wont try to repair, just send it back.

Take care
