Whoaa matey.thats how I broke one of mine? Thought I`d be able to copy one to the other, using installer on CDROM.........................I must know even less than you about firmware copying!!!!
I bought 3 from ebay.A 256mb still working, and 2 X 512mb, One of which had a virus detected when connected to a Windows ME installation, and the other broke trying to copy, but a great idea, if someone can do us a program to install, with simple ENGLISH instructions? I`m gonna take a digital pic of my actual player and get it on this site soon? but is very similar to the attachment I`ve already provided.

Hi, I've also bought a variation off this player at eBay. I haven't got any problem with him. But, actually I live in Ukraine, so I was searching firmware whis cyrillic languages support. So, I'll be pleased if somebody would give me a link with firmware.
Also i would like to know how were you formating your player? Do you mean, that you did it through Propeties>Servises>Format in Windows? If the answer is yes, it just mean, that you had deleted the mother firmwere. This funtion is possible only if instruction allows it, as Play said, or manufacter contents CD whis special softwere.

for the guy in Ukraine ... don't even try to do something ..leave it as it is.


for others.....i'm another one with an 512MB broken mp3 player.
The software who came with mp3 player is a crap!?

I am trying to find software wich let you to flash the flash memory card with any firmware from another manufacturers (themp3 players are all same).... i'm sure it will work but i don't know any software for this.
So if anyone can find this kind of software please let me know.

i found guys on e-bay who change your software but only if you send it to them and not for free.

One other thing. The player will only recognize audio files. make sure you are only copying MP3, WMA files. If you maistakenly drop a text file or video file or executable file it may choke the player.

I think this is the site for the MP3 players. Mine seems to be the model XD-18/FM bu there's a bunch of other models also listed. Go to: http://www.xundu.com/index.htm Good luck.

: I bought me mp3-player from E-bay. I wrote to this man I brought from and he didn't answer.
I Have same problem I succeed to format my mp-player. There is standing that I need the AdfsUd.sys but I haven't this one . What can I do?please mail me...

[Joe Forster/STA]

Tough luck, I guess, as neither Altavista nor Google gives any results for "AdfsUd.sys"... (Are you sure you spelled the filename right?)

This should be a lesson for you NOT to buy such stuff from "just some person on the Net": if the device stops working (or doesn't even start working when you get it), you'll have noone to complain at...! Obviously, you got no manual or driver disk or URL of official support page etc. etc...

I'm astonished that people keep falling for these online auctions, only to buy something for a few dollars less than if buying them in a proper shop; or buying some non-brand, cheap junk instead of buying a device from a well-established brand (yes, for a higher price but also of higher value, support and reliability)! (Perhaps, preferably, a "physical" shop you can go to, enter, sort through different brands and models of devices, ask the shopkeeper for his opinion and suggestion, and take your non-functional device back to during the warranty period.) Jesus, people, wake up!

Hy. I'am from Germany and i have the same prob like you (i think so). I'am searching for "AdfuUd.sys". I bought this mother****ing dam stick on ebay. The seller comes from HongKong. It is a german guy. I wrote him my problem. No answer. (I'am sorry about my very bad english (gramma)). The Stick was installed of my PC. He doesn´t work for a time. Now he work´s (Plug and Play) but i cannot install the driver (AdfuUd.sys).

Hope anyone can help me.

I just bought one of these MP3 player's (the 512 MB on ebay) which everybody seems to be having problems with. I haven't received it yet and was wondering what steps I should take to ensure it works properly. I would really appreciate any advice anyone has to offer.

Hi,

I have just bought a 1GB verion of the XD-18/FM froma guy on ebay. The MP3 player seems to work fine (I HAVEN'T FLASHED IT !!!!) but I do have a question if someone can help me....

It says in the manual that you can put the songs in folders on the device. When I put the songs into folders rather than on the root of the mapped drive it says that there are no music files. If I put a music file on the root of the device and then select to change the folder it only displays ROOT in the folder list on the device I can't see any of the other folders I have put on there. Has anyone managed to get the folders working ?

Regards, Mikeeeee

I had a reply from the people I bought this off with some useful information in it concerning general use.... Hope this helps

(1)First of all, you should never install the driver from the CD for windows XP, 2000,
and ME. If you did, try to uninstall it cleanly. The CD is for Windows 98 only.

(2)as our players support music in MP3/ WMA format(should not under DRM protection),
please dowloaded some songs in these two music formats and save in your local hard drive
(such as c:\).

The player acts as a portable hard drive when connected to the pc via the 1.1 or 2.0 USB
port (USB 1.0 port is not supported). To transfer MP3/WMA music files between the player
and the computer, simply plug player into the computer with a USB 1.1 or 2.0 port running
windows 2000, XP or ME. (Windows 98 requires the driver from the small installation CD).

After you plug in, the player will automatically be recognized as a "Removable disk". Use
Windows Explorer to transfer the songs between your local hard drive and "Removable disk"
by dragging the mp3 songs from your local hard drive (such as c:\) to "Removable disk".
Once you are done transferring songs to the player, you can disconnect the player from
the pc properly(right click "Removable disk" and select "eject" to remove it from
computer, then unplug it from computer) and start enjoying the music.

Following is how to store and play downloaded songs properly

You can put songs in root directory (music not in any created folder is supposed to be in
root directory) or create folders to store songs. But our players do not support
subfolder(folder inside of another folder).

You can access the music directories you have created with the instruction below:

1). Turn on the mp3 player and then enter music menu. You should be able to see one song
displayed on the mp3 player's screen. DO NOT press the PLAY key yet.

2). Short click the MODE key once to enter the MUSIC submenu. Switch the MODE key
constantly either to the left or to the right to review the options until you see LOCAL
FOLDER.

3). Short click the mode key once to access LOCAL FOLDER sub-menu, then you should see
the directories you have created. Switch the mode key to the right or left to review the
directory options, and then select your desired directory by short clicking the mode key
once. Press the PLAY key now to play the music in your selected folder.

4). If you want to repeat the desired folder, short click the mode key once when the
music is being played. Switch the mode key to review the options, if you want to play all
the music, just select "repeat folder".
