Siren MP3 Player: Q&A
December 3rd, 2005 by Chi An
I have seen that many of you are looking for information of Siren 512MB MP3 Player. It has been the hottest topic discussed here. Well, I’ve compile a small list of frequently asked question about it.
- How to delete/remove songs?
If it is a DRM protected music, you need Windows Media Player to delete it. ( read ). Alternatively, you may do it in My Computer of your Windows. ( read ) - I got the error message “Incorrect format, reformat the player!”
Here is the instruction given by Siren1. Double-click My Computer on the Windows Desktop or in the Start Menu.
2. Locate the Removable Disk (X:) or Player (X:) icon that is associated
with the player. (X: equals the drive letter assigned to the ILO player.)
3. Right-click the Removable Disk (X:) or Player (X:) icon.
4. Click Format….
Reformatting your ILO player will result in the deletion of all tracks and
settings on the ILO player.
5. If you are sure you want to reformat your player, click Start. - Is there a case for it?
Currently there is no accessory specially made for it. However, someone has used zippo lighter belt holder for it. - How to lock the keys?
There is no key lock function for this model. - Is there a website for Siren?
Yes, the website is sirenplayer.com - How can I contact Siren’s customer service representatives?
You may contact them at support@sirenplayer.com or phone number 254 224 0222
Although I’m not a user of Siren 512MB MP3 Player, I have to give a big thumb up to Siren’s support team. I got my answer emailed in less than 10 minutes.
If you have any tips for it, please keep us updated. Also, please let us know if answers provided don’t work for you.

i tried to reformat my siren mp3 player but it said windows could not feformat this device hot do i fix this problem
December 11th, 2005 at 3:54 am
I think you probably need to update your firmware. But I’m not sure does Siren provide it or not
December 14th, 2005 at 8:33 am
I’ve bought a Siren512MB for my 13 year old son for a Christmas gift. What is meant by 12 songs being preloaded. will he be able to add his own songs?
thanks
denise
December 14th, 2005 at 10:28 am
These 12 songs are preloaded into your Siren as you buy without extra charges. Your son definitely can add whatever song he likes as long as the format is suppported by Siren.
December 20th, 2005 at 10:58 pm
This is my sencond Siren MP3 512.
I’m having the same problem as i did
with the first one. The battery ran dead,
then i replaced it and when i turn it on all
it says is searching song files. It freezes
like that and i can do nothing..not even
power it off. Is it possible both of them
are defected and the player is junk???
December 21st, 2005 at 4:43 am
It is better for you to ring a call or send an email to Siren support team. I couldn’t answer you since I don’t have actual Siren on hand
December 26th, 2005 at 4:31 am

March 23rd, 2006 at 10:18 pm
Q: My song is stuck in searching for song files, or in updating index, or my songs seem to disappear from the player, what do I do?
A: Sometimes, after transferring songs to the Siren player, they seem to disappear from the Siren’s index or perhaps the Siren will lock up and report “NO FILES FOUND”, or even freeze at the “UPDATING INDEX” screen. This problem is common and is caused by certain music software such as Windows Media Player. Media programs such as WMP tend to use a categorization scheme to organize music files on storage devices such as the Siren Player. However, it is this categorization scheme that causes the Siren Player not to be able to recognize the media files that are transferred to it. WMP uses a “hidden folder” technique in which it places the media files to keep track of all the media information, but the Siren player does not have the ability to read these subdirectories. Formatting the player then removing the “create folder hierarchy” option from Windows Media player is usually all it takes to correct this problem.
March 24th, 2006 at 2:16 am
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.
March 27th, 2006 at 10:09 am

When I first got my siren it was great, my songs would download right away, I could listen to them within seconds. But now whenever I turn on my siren it’s stuck at searching song files and on the WMP the “create folder hierarchy” isn’t clicked so I am completely lost. I have downloaded quite a bit of songs and I’d really like to listen to them. PLEASE HELP
April 2nd, 2006 at 7:07 am
i had the same problem twice!
the first time they told me it was defected so
i returned it in exchange for a new one.
then it happened again and they told
me to reformmat the player.
so i had to go back into my songs
and download them all agian.
i havent had any problems since.
but what a pain in the ass to have to
redownload any songs! i recommend
a different player.

WHY DID MY MP3 PLAYER ERASE ALL MY SONGS I HAD ON IT EXCEPT FOR THE ONES THAT WAS ON IT WHEN I BOUGHT IT.I HAD THE TEN FREE ONES THAT I GOT WITH IT AND THE ONES I DOWNLOADED MYSELF .
April 25th, 2006 at 5:51 am
Gus… What is the name of the firmware they sent you?
May 2nd, 2006 at 10:18 am
When the “reformat player” message on the Siren mp3 player. I first tried formatting the “FAT” File system, that didnt work. Then I tried formatting the “FAT32″ File System, didnt work. I tried them both again, didnt work. Then I finally called (254) 224-0222, then sent me the firmware update and thoroughly explained what to do with it. In addition to the instruactions on the email. Ran the firmware update and the problem was solved. Well thought I would pass on my experiance for the rest of ya.
May 10th, 2006 at 10:33 am
Fuck you guys and your piece of shit product. I now waisted 100$ on your retarded mp3 player and it won’t even work. I’M PISSED OFF! I spent at least 5 mounths trying to get your stupid mp3 player to work and after just finding out how to rformat thr thing, it still WON’T WORK! I don’t even know why your selling retarded prducts i ether want my money back or a new mp3 player. I hope you read my message douche bags
May 12th, 2006 at 4:04 am
I was having the incorrect format error on my Ilo MP3 Player (a Walmart brand supported by SirenPlayer.Com). SirenPlayer provides excellent customer service. I just called them a minute ago, they sent me the firmware “fix” via e-mail in 2 minutes, and then 2 more minutes I was done. My player works again. Kudo’s to SirenPlayer for excellent support. BTW - I don’t think they make the ILO but they support it.
May 16th, 2006 at 4:22 pm
After trying for serveral hours to download music on your stupid product I have finally decided to give up. This is my second mp3 player from your company in 3 days and they both sucked. One would download the songs only to delete them 20 seconds later and the other kept turning off. Your product sucks and after reading all these emails I feel I’m not being to harsh. Lucky for me I will be able to return your crap product and get something better and the rate your going I’d pick a 8 track over your mp3 players. Hell anything so long as its not made buy your company. You guys should sell toliet paper instead of mp3’s cause your product is full of sh*t.
Nothing but hate for ya. Your enemy for life Lonie Lonie
May 26th, 2006 at 3:33 am
Ilo is not a very good mp3 player. I tried to format it but it wouldn’t let me what should I do.
May 26th, 2006 at 3:39 am
Nothing is working to reformat the player What can help me fix it
June 10th, 2006 at 11:24 am
I have had my siren 512mb + 512 sd card for almost an year now. never once it’s crashed on me. i love this thing. bought it in walmart. i use this daily in my car.

July 21st, 2006 at 5:18 am

September 14th, 2006 at 9:11 pm
you’re one hell of a lot luckier than me…5 emails..no response..no firmware update,,no nothing..except a busted piece of crap mp3 player!
September 15th, 2006 at 7:44 am
I have had my mp3 player for a while and I was wondring how to delete songs. P.S. my mp3 is an ilo.
October 10th, 2006 at 1:02 am
You probably need to reload the firmware for the player. I contacted the support department and they sent me a link to the firmware installer. After running the software my Mp3 player is functional once again. Here you go:
Thank you for contacting Siren Audio Support. In order to flash your player’s firmware, please follow these steps:
Please connect the player to a rear USB port on the computer. The display should show “USB Connected”. (If not, please press the power button.)
Please make sure that all unused programs and applications are closed. You can close the applications by closing as many of the icons in the lower right hand corner (by the clock) as possible.
Download the correct Firmware
Click here to download the Siren 512 Firmware
- https://system.netsuite.com/core/media/media.nl?id=16075&c=432868&h=68a87fdefb1fe2d5903b&_xt=.zip
Click here to download the ILO 116 Firmware
- https://system.netsuite.com/core/media/media.nl?id=16076&c=432868&h=b25618a8ea7ead5c9573&_xt=.zip
Click Open to initiate the download
Double click on the ILO or Siren folder icon. There will be 14 icons.
There will be a Setup icon that looks like a box with a blue line on it; please double click on this.
Then click Run - this will open the Install Wizard.
The Install Wizard has the instructions on the screen as you go through it.
Once the firmware has installed, please click the Start menu, then Programs.
Look for the icon that says ILO or Siren, and then double click the Firmware Update to install to the player. Depending on how severe the corruption to the firmware on the player is, you might have to do this step 2 or 3 times in order for it to completely repair the firmware.
Additional Tip: The player itself requires a lot of power while flashing the firmware. We suggest disconnecting all USB devices from the computer except the MP3 player and mouse; you can reconnect your keyboard once the firmware has been flashed.
This should resolve the problem. If you have any further questions or concerns, please feel free to reply to support@sirenplayer.com (including the entire e-mail thread) or call us at 254-224-0222. We are open Monday – Friday, from 8:00AM to 8:00PM CST.

I have windows xp and cannot install anything. I made my playlist but message says no device found. WHY?
November 7th, 2006 at 11:46 am
My daughters MP3 player is having the same issues as all of you mentioned. This thing is crap! How she said she resolves the searching for files issue is locking the device trying to turn it on then unlocking the device and turning it on waiting a few seconds and it should resume. Kinda a crappy solution to a crappy device i guess hope this helps everyone. I would’nt recommend this product to my enemies. GL all.
November 7th, 2006 at 12:16 pm
Sorry I guess this wasn’t detailed enough. Pop out the battery, return the battery lock the device then attempt to turn it on, once it comes on and goes back off put the device in the unlock position and turn it back on wait a few seconds and it should work. GL again with a crappy device.
November 20th, 2006 at 8:37 pm

We bought the Siren 4GB last night. The box says it is compatible with Windows 2000 (that is the reason we bought it). However when we got it home and tried to figure out how to use it, we discovered that you need Windows Media Player 10 which will only run with Windows XP. We have Windows Media Player9.How can we download songs off the internet using 9? I like it so far and don’t want to have to return it but what is the use of it if I have to buy cd’s to have music on the MP3? We did get the music off my cd’s and they work great. Please help me.
December 30th, 2006 at 5:28 am
I have the 4MG, and I can’t even explore it. I see folders, but I know I have some stuff I stored to bring to the office. I can’t see ANYTHING I’ve downloaded onto it. But I know the stuff is there. I can’t see the songs I downloaded, but they play! Grrrr…

January 12th, 2007 at 10:25 pm
I have a problem, all of a sudden, my ilo 1gb doesn’t go beyond 20%searching files. I also noticed that since I rec’d it doesn’t have any of the songs pre-recorded on the complimentary list.

March 13th, 2007 at 12:25 pm

A:Ok first off make sure your ear buds are in all the way. I was like “Oh shit my ear buds are broke” but I just didnt have them plugged in all the way. And the batter usaly will ‘go up’ alot if you turn it off then turn it back on. Also that battery it came with may suck because of the fact that it may have been in there for years!
Hope this helps!

I just bought a Siren 4GB MP3 player. When connecting to my computer it would show up as a device in the Hardware Manager and it showed up in Windows Media Player as a device. However, it did not show up in Windows Explorer or My Computer so I couldn’t access it that way to move files around. However, I found the problem. If I connected to my computer with the Hold button in the Hold position suddenly it connects normally where I can see it in Explorer and My Computer. I haven’t seen anyone else describe this problem or a solution, but I hope this helps someone.
April 19th, 2007 at 2:19 am

hi everyone I have a ilo 2GB siren Digital audio mp3 player and it started screwing up on me. first it started crackling when I played my downloaded music, then I deleted all my music I stored on it and formated it from my computer and it still didnt work. Finally after changing the battery and a few other things I did to try and fix this , I came to this site and downloaded the firmware for ilo mp3 players and wiped my mp3 player clean but now it wont turn on when I disconnect it from my computer and my computer wont recognize it unless I turn on the firmware. Please someone help me.
May 6th, 2007 at 10:37 am
Mine did the “got stuck indexing thing”, I defragged it (just like you do with your pc), and moved all the songs wihich were listed by ‘unknown album’ into just one album. One or the other fixed it. Have had great service out of mine for about 2 years. No complaints!

i tried to sync music to my player and it tells me that there is a error and cant sync music that is purchased online that sucks because i would not have bought it you should have printed on the package tht it doesnt play onlie music.
June 25th, 2007 at 7:07 am
what should i do.
June 25th, 2007 at 4:57 pm
Answer to Marc T. Click on the little white siren thing. It should open up the window with all your music on it. Click and drag the song you don’t want and drop it in the trash can. That should get the job done.

I received a ilo 1GM mp3 player as a Christmas gift. I do not see anywhere to delete songs. HELP…I dont want the songs that came with this thing on my mp3 player. Can you delete songs or do I just need to swap it for a better mp3 player?
December 28th, 2007 at 12:50 am
Wow sounds like this thing really sucks….the right side of the ear piece is working when it wants to. Only 2 days old. Hmmm
January 5th, 2008 at 11:01 am
I bought a 4 GB Siren MP3 player about 3 months ago and have had nothing but problems with it since I got it. I accidently threw the packaging away, which was a big mistake, because then I could not return it. I then went through the company who sent me a replacement player, and it works just as bad as the one that I sent in. So if you are doing research and have not bought one yet, DO NOT BUY THIS PLAYER, it is a piece of crap and a waste of $100. My newest problem is that I turn it on and it says Warning, Boot Error and shuts down immediately. The other problems that I have had with it are that the player says it has no files, but when it is plugged into my computer it shows all the files. My first problem was that the player would just shut itself down for no reason and return to the first song, instead of where it left off. I have called the comapny several times and none of their suggestions have fixed the problem. I have tried leaving the battery out for a couple of days and starting it, downloaded the firmware 3 or 4 times and have unistalled Windows Media Player 11, and went back to version 10. Nothing is working. Has anyone else experienced any of these problems and have any suggestions. Thanks!
January 13th, 2008 at 8:23 am
I perchused a ilo mp3 player. It was working perfectly then it dropped and it stopped working and I dont know any more stores who sell this oproduct. E mail me back so I can see if i can get another product.
January 23rd, 2008 at 11:35 am
After 3 months of use my ilo has a message “Searching Song Files” I tried replacing the battery I tried the firmware route and it still has the message any ideas?
I tried locking it and turning it on like Heidi suggested on the site no luck
January 26th, 2008 at 12:54 pm
Your product is a piece of junk. I bought it last April and by May the screen on it cracked and this orange colored stuff was messing up the view so I couldn’t make out the song. Then it would cause my pC not to be able to read it when I plugged it in. But it would only do this off and on. NOTHING is wrong with the USB port, I tried other things in it. Then tonight the screen gets more cracked and it will read the drive but I open the folder on the computer and there are no files on there like it is empty. I click on “properties” and it said there was over 6/8ths of the drive used up. The player itself, although I could barely read it, said I needed to free up some space. This thing is the biggest piece of crap I have ever invested money in and I will not be buying any of your products again.

Siren 4 GB Mp3 Player
…..One other thing I should mention.The Siren rep I spoke to told me to disconnect the player from the USB cable and remove the battery from the player for 40 minutes. Then, after the player has been idle for those 40 minutes and with the battery still removed from the player, run the flash exe. Then reinsert the battery.

I havent had the ilo mp3 player for over two months when the button got pressed in and it will not turn on. Do you think that they could fix it and where do I send it to.

Alex, just take the player apart with a screw driver and see what is wrong inside, if the button is just pressed in, just push it out from the inside.

I’m trying to put more songs on my mom’s Siren, but it tells me there is no more room. Do I have to remove the current songs and then reformat it? If I do have to reformat, is it worth the risk of this “firmware” that seems to cause big problems for some and no problems for others? Any help would be appreciated.
