okay so i got this MP4 player for christmas, it came with a tiny disc , i assume the drivers and such are on this. I have a new MACand have no idea where this disc would go so that I may download the drivers. I want to put music and pics and such on the MP4 player. Can I get drivers online? The bloody thing doesn't even have a company name that I can find except MP4. Can anyone help me out here?
Thanks

Hi Flygirl

Is this 'tiny disc' basically like a small CD? like here:

If so, you could be able to use it in your CD/DVD drive on your computer.

Cheers,

Hi< I tried putting the disc in but my MAC didn't even realize it was there. I had to use another disc to try and get it out of the disc drive. Thanks for the try though.

AmooMan makes a valid point actually. I didn't consider that since I've never had a MAC.

I guess the next step is to try it out on a PC and see if that gets you anywhere?

From the sounds of it, Since it doesn't even have a visible brand name, you're probably unlikely to be able to find MAC drivers for it but you never know, I've been wrong many times before =o)

If its anything like the mp4 players I have bought, the software will only be a mass storage driver for archaic windows and a program to convert some video files into their amv format that will crash on 90% of the avi files you try to convert. Once you have seen the output video played back on it you will never bother again since its essentially a slideshow of bad jpegs when I did anything.
