Siren 512MB MP3 Player

Need an affordable MP3 player with SD/MMC expansion slot? DAPreview has found a good deal from Wal-mart. It’s Siren MP3 Player with 512MB.

Siren 512MB MP3 Players


For US$ 68.44 US$62.92, you get a MP3 player with 12 preloaded songs and 10 bonus music downloads from Walmart.com. Well, Siren is probably the best choice for a gift. For that cheap price, you get most of the features of MP3 players nowadays with “not-that-bad” design. These include:

  • Supports MP3, WMA audio playback
  • Works with Walmart Music Downloads
  • Built-in FM tuner with 20 presets
  • Voice Recording, FM recording
  • Up to 16 hours of battery life on one AAA alkaline battery
  • SD/MMC memory expansion slot

From the list of 12 preloaded songs, I found that “Take Me Back” of Maggie’s Choice best suit for this player. Ya, take back this Siren! :-D

    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.

    Brad Says:

    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 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

    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 :-)
