I bought two for my kids for Xmas and one works, the other has the “Incorrect format, reformat player” message. I’ve emailed customer service and they’ve taken me through the “My Computer” formatting, which didn’t work, and going into Windows Media Player and Tools, Options, highlight Siren (it has to be connected) Properties, and unchecking the “Create folder hierarchy” then go to My Computer, click on the Siren and then click on Format. I’ve tried Fat32 and Fat, and neither one works. I also keep getting a “Windows-Delayed Write Failed” message on my computer. I’ve tried this on two different computers and still nothing. Unfortunately, Walmart doesn’t have any more so Ill be getting another kind all together.

matt – I guess you have to transfer music through Windows Media Player.
Trish – So sorry to hear about that. Probably, you should get SanDisk Sansa E130 or E230 at < $70.

Vinny – yeh i see that lock symbol, but still cant figure out how to enable a lock on the player…
Matt- you don’t need the software that comes with the player, ou can either transfer files through wmp or through explorer['my computer'] by simply selecting songs you like, right clicking and say ’send to’ then select the mp3 player, or click and drag songs to the mp3 players folder, or copy and paste them to it.
Trish,Josh, and anyone else with the reformat error, it seems your formatting it correctly, only thing i can think of is trying to format it on a different computer , and if possible try formatting it on a different OS such as windows XP/XP PRO/etc.

My 512 shows no files on the display but plugged into the computer it shows the files. I called support they sent me firmware up date got all that set up ,but when I go to install the update the computer can’t find the device??? it shows up on the computer as being connected , and I can play songs that are on the player. I can’t get the display to show the files. with no files it will not do anything.

I bought a Siren 512MB MP3 player in December 2005. Now it froze up. When I turn it on it says its searching for files and freezes. I have to take off the battery so it can turn off. What should I do?

It’s so bad to hear negative reviews here

i spent long nights trying to get my siren player to work. it never does i am so sorry that i have ever bought one of these. the shit just doesnt work and i feel played it keeps saying to reformat the player i followed all of the instructions that the european lady gave me over the phone. i wish that i have never bought one, wal-mart took them off the shelves the day after i bought mine and refused to give me any service as a costomer. if you are reading this and considering of buying one of these DO NOT FUCKING DO IT.

it appears there’s a few to many morons in the world around us, people dont understand a simple format error. and most likely know nothing of electronics, this mp3 player [aside from what a few fools have said] works perfectly [unless you know nothing of what your doing(which is pretty pathetic)]…
If you simply dont understand how to drag a file over to a different folder then this mp3 player isnt for you…
also if you are DUMB ENOUGH NOT TO KNOW HOW TO FORMAT A SD CARD then obviously dont buy one, and yes i have formated my sd card.
for those of you who are incompetant enough to not know how to use this mp3 player, grow up, learn a bit bout electronics, and go shoot yourselves for not knowin how to transfer files, format a card, press play, pause a song, and all the other pathetic probs you kids are having…grow up

Ok, ive had my siren mp3 since december, and now all of a sudden it isn’t working. i have about 140 songs on there, and when i went to start it up it kept playing ‘poison’ by alice cooper over and over again, and when i went to my song index (by genre, artist, album, exc.) nothing was there. Does anyone know how to fix this???
February 27th, 2006 at 10:03 am

March 2nd, 2006 at 10:30 am

Im just a mother who is haveing an error message which i cant understand. the error is this (null reference pointer was passed to the stub) now i have asked mircosoft how to fix this problem and got nothing so im going to ask other users who are probably smarter about this stuff anyway. Please help if you can.
Thanks,
Shonna

As the cause might be the buggy firmware, I would suggest you directly contact Siren/iLo custormer support through email and request for a new version of firmware.

Dear Siren,
I am having trouble with my Siren 512gb mp3 player. The screen is messed up so I can’t see what song I’m listening to, I can’t see how far I’m into the song, I can’t see what fm radio station I’m at ,and I can’t see the menu screen. I love the mp3 player it’s small, compact, and easy to use but it get irritating after a while. So if there is anything that you can do to to help me ( basicly send it back to get a new one) then E-mail a letter to me to help with my problem.
Thank You

For those who face reformat problem, you may shoot an email to Sirenplayer.com and ask for a copy of new version firmware. These problems may be fixed by just updating firmware of your MP3 player

My Siren starts up, but then, “Searching song files” and will restart. And it wont stop restarting… I think i may have cracked something inside it or corrupted critical system files… I’d like to fix it if possible. Any help or suggestions? Throw them at me, please.
Thnx
