A while ago my Lyra RD1020 was working fine, now, however, it will only accept some files. When I put normal mp3's on the player, they won't work, or some of them will be converted to MPY files and THEN they will work. Can you help?

I don't use the software with my Lyra RD1028.
I plug it into the USB port and then I drag and drop
the MP3s I want to hear on to it.
I have not had any problems with it so far. |

I am trying to format my SD card so I can play songs on the Lyra 1021. I tried going to my computer, and right clicking on the G: drive. I hit format, but when the screen came up the "start" button remains gray and will not allow me to format the memory card. What do I do? If anyone knows, please e-mail me at irishjewel_2002@yahoo.com |

I have the Lyra 2012 (256Mg). I have had it since Christmas 04. All of a sudden none of the buttons work. I have to remove the battery to shut it off. The ON button will turn the unit back on, but no other buttons work. It seems like the LOCK is on, but the manual says that LOCK is disabled when you remove the battery. Has anyone seen this before? I have updated to the latest firmware and no change. Anyone seen this 'Feature' or is it Warranty Time? |

I have a Lyra 2780 and most photos that I have downloaded appear in just one colour and not in the centre of the screen. Also, musicmatch version 10 (not the older version 9 that came with the lyra) crashes everytime, can anyone help me?
Many thanks |

I've got a RD1072 with 256 internal and just bought a 1-gig SD card. It won't move all the songs over using Musicmatch - and if I manually do it in Windows, the Lyra won't see them anyway. There's some blurb on the RCA site about a weird fat 12/16 cluster size requirement(article #132), but it's talking about the RD1021, '71 and '75 models. The utility I downloaded for my model has a format button, however it doesn't allow switching between internal memory and the SD card. |

I just bought a 1 GB SD memory card for my RCA Lyra 1071A mp3 player. It works great except that the mp3 player says there is only 198 songs total (between the mp3 player and memory card together) and the computer says that there is almost 250 songs and still more room left. What do I do? Why won't the mp3 player read the songs? |
|

The 1071A software will only recognize 199 files regardless of how many you have loaded. RCA is aware of this. I have not seen a fix. Their support truly sucks. |

I called RCA about the problem I was having with my 1028 and they acted as if they never heard about the problem I'm having but after going over the trouble posted on this forum I realize I'm one of many. I cannot play songs on my SD card. It plays 4 or 5 songs and then the player freezes and I have to remove the battery just to turn the unit off. Any suggestions? |

Okay guys, I know alot of you have had problems with it not recognizing the SD Memory cards. I finally figured mine out. You may have noticed that when you insert the card into the player and hook it up to your computer, there will be two seperate drives for the mp3 player. The one labeled "RCA Lyra" and one that on my computer is called the "H" drive, which is the memory card. Since I use realplayer (because the MM software is CRAP) to download the songs, I simply select the songs from my library that I want, right click them and go to "Copy To" then "H://" After you've got all the songs copied to your memory card or the H drive, delete all the songs off of the "RCA Lyra" drive. If you delete every single song, and try playing it again, it will change the default memory from internal to the memory card.
So bottom line,
Delete all the songs off of your RCA Lyra drive
Upload them to the seperate drive (H in my case)
Unplug & Play!
If you have any questions or would like to THANK me just email me at: mikalahgordoncentral@gmail.com!  |

I have a Lyra 2760 and when I connect it the computer, it doesn't read the device and asked "that Drive "E" has not been formatted" "would you like to format it" and, I hit "yes" and it says that it cannot be formatted. I've updated the software from the website and it still doesn't recogize the device. I have tons of music and nothing is happening. Plus when I power on, it sits for about 20 secs. and then shuts off....please tell me whats wrong with this device! Second one now. |

I have a Lyra 1072B. I used a 1Gig SD card. Used Music Match to load 391 songs on it. The Lyra shows only 238.
I used a 256 Meg. card, it still shows only 238. Music match and Windows Explorer each show I shoud have 274 total tracks on the 256 Meg internal memory plus the 256 Meg card.
I've emailed them twice. They haven't responded. Has anyone else had this problem?
Thnx |

I had mine for a week, and then it started not playing the songs, not recognizing the memory card, AND everytime I would put new songs into the memory card, they wouldnt even play. After SO much work with this thing, nothing has helped.. It doesn't play ANYTHING AT ALL, unless I take out the memory card and reinsert it before it turns completely on. Just the fact that it won't play any new songs I upload into the memory card alone is upsetting.. I'm planning on getting a new one, Creative Zen Micro, with 5gb. Its $230 , but I'm hoping for an mp3 player that actually works. Because my Lyra was a complete waste of $50.. |

It seems SD cards not being read is a common problem for Lyra's. Boy, if I had found this forum before I had purchased mine. Anyone would know why the computer does not read the SD card when inserted in the Lyra. I already updated the firmware, but still my laptop does not recognizes the card on the Lyra. |

I own a Lyra RD2011A for four months, downloaded the new firmware to profile my system, now nothing will play. New battery, new sd card (1GB), but no play. Formatted the card in reader, formatted the player, I advivce no-one to buy this poor scrap of plastic that passes for a digital audio player. I also own a SanDisk player (1GB) and have never had a damn problem with it. Any advice would be great, I hate to think I wasted my money on this little liability. WMP10 shows that it is compatible with the thing but my problem is that RCA screwed me with their so called "update" for player, I swear it was working fine till that point. |

I have a Lyra RD2850 and I have installed the applications, musicmatch, and the musicmatch add-in. However, my computer (XP Pro) fails to recognize that the mp3 player exists, but it still provides power to charge. I have tried it on my other computer (XP Home) and have the exact same problem. I know that these USB ports work for other devices. By the way, I only have USB 1.1, however the manual says that it will work, only not as fast as 2.0. Hopefully someone can help me! |

All the problems mentioned here seem to be about memory cards. My Lyra has always worked great, but I havent tried a card with it.
I'm wondering if the problem is the 1.5 volt battery on the RCA Lyra 128? Because the voltage specs on the SD cards appears to be 2.7 to 3.6 volts (see for example http://store.lexar.com/?category=21&subcategory=6&productid=SD128-231 ) |

Hi, I have a rca lyra rd1090A model mp3 player, and while adding songs onto it the other day, I think I deleted a needed .exe file that is on my player. Now I cannot play any songs anymore and an error message pops up saying "bad or missing mp3.exe file" and turns off. Has anyone had this problem before, and how do I fix this? Thanks in advance, Mike |

Maybe we should all forward the complaints to rca since it's their fault, no support or anything. Sounds like when someone figures out what the problem is, another one pops up. Rca should stick to making record players, not mp3's which seems out of their grasp. Everyone! It's not the battery, or the memory card, or the brand new computer someone has, or the sorftware, it's the damn Lyra brand. for $100 dollars it shouldn't have so many problems, lemons everyone, that's what we are stuck with.
I ended up buying another brand name with 512mb for $120 and have no problems at all, just download music ( like you would expect) and listen. None of this bull s**t of maybe it's this or that. Tell anyone else to stay away from this company! |

Tara, this means your lyra is ready to receive files. Transfer a few songs into it and then remove the USB cord. Hopefully after that you should be able to hear them. |
|
| Posted on Friday, April 29, 2005 - 12:21 pm: |

Ahh, thank you so much! I'll give it a try! (I did discover that it would "turn on" when I didn't have it connected). I did try to transfer songs with the UBS message and didn't have luck, but perhaps I did something wrong? I'll post again if I fail ;) |

Can anyone tell me why after I tranfer music files to my Lyra it will only play for an average of three to seven seconds, and then freeze up with a laud ring and the only way to turn it off is to take out the battery? model # 2011A. Fresh batteries and software installed too! I use the WMP10 and their websites (both RCA and Microsoft) both claim the mp3 player is compatible with it, work for a few weeks and now it is being used as paper weight. Anyone please! |

Hi There... I hope there is someone out there that can help me! I was transferring some files from my girlfriends laptop to my laptop using my Lyra 2012. I sent alot of stuff back and forth, but I got carried away and sent 5 different things at the same time. THe first four were all fine but the biggest file went right up to 99% complete before it told me that there wasn't enough space on the lyra. NOW that darn thing wont even work. It says when its connected, but the computer says its connected as a drive but when I click on the drive it says insert a disk. It totally doesnt recognice the lyra as a drive anymore when it says its connected. Also, my lyra will turn on but it just says RCA with the blue screen then turns off. Nothing Else. Can anyone help me? |

Hey folks, I have the same problem with my wife's RCA Lyra RD1028A. I put in a 256meg SD card in it and it refuses to allow it to function. I sent an E-mail to Walmart, since the RCA support blows. An engineer from Thompson electronics is looking into the problem. I enclosed the link to this forum as a part of the E-mail and the Walmart folks forwarded it to the Thompson Electronics people. The RCA Lyra is made by or supported by Thompson. The engineer is going to check the SD card and get back to me. Time will tell. |

For the folks who can see the USB connected but can't find how to get your music to the Lyra unit. Double click on my computer, You should see an Icon labeled RCA Lyra (E)this is your internal storage on the unit. double click it and you have a folder to drop your MP3 files into. Just open your music folder and drag the MP3's from it to the RCA Lyra folder. Hopefully they will get the SD problems fixed before you max the internal memorys storage. |

I have a RCA Lrya RD1028A, brand new....my problem is I cannot get rid of a "demo file" song that i did not put on it. I press remove to get rid of the song, and remove file, but it keeps coming back and won't delete. It drives me nuts not only because its there and won't come off, but also because the song sucks! |

Hey white Dire Wolf. How are you removing the song? Connect up with the USB. Dbl click on My computer so you will see the RCA_Lyra(E) drive. Then dbl click on it. You should see all the songs on the lyra. Then right click on the sad song and select delete. You don't need the Lyra software, the music crap box or anything. Just delete what you want and drag and drop from your music folder to the (E) drive. It should work like a champ.

Hey Peter. I have been playing with my wife's Lyra, Its easier to not use the musicmatch garbage. Go to your music folder and sort through it and find only the songs you want to put on the Lyra. If need be, just make an additional folder call it say dlbs for download bull s. Move the songs you want to put on the Lyra in it. Make it about 1/4 page size and then double click on my computer with the Lyra hooked up to the USB port. You will see a RCA_Lyra(E) drive. Now you can just select the songs in you dlbs folder and drag them to the (E) drive. All the MP3's will copy over to the Lyra. When it finishes you unplug it and turn it on. You should have the songs ready to play. Just be careful not to exceed the memory limit with a multiple file transfer. I've heard of the Lyra's locking up when that happens. You can right click on the E drive, select properties and see how much space you still have available. As for getting a SD card working, GOOD LUCK!!! Since I have forwarded this forum to Walmart.com with my complaints, my local Walmart has pulled all their Lyra's off the shelf. I hope this helps you. |

for all those that wanted to use a 1GB card in the smaller madels like the 1022-1071 and what not, i came up with a way around the file limit. it's basicaally taking your songs and pairing them up into two's and then combinging them into one file. this can be done with any number of audio editing software. this way you can use up all the space yet stay under the file limit. hope this helps! |

I just bought a new LYRA 1072B. It is my first experience with an MP3 player. Everything is fine. I loaded all my songs and it plays fine, however none of the other buttons work. I can't play forward, scan backward, turn it off without taking the battery out or turn the volume up or down. Any suggestions? Thanks |
