Music files on mp3 player not showing on computer
I have some mp3 and other music files on my mp3 player which are all listed on the player and play fine but do not show up when I connect to my laptop to move/delete or re-name them. I've searched lots of forums and this does seem to happen but other than some Sandisc issues I can't find an answer to the problem.
Can anyone here help?
Cheers.

Re: Music files on mp3 player not showing on computer
Thanks for that bloggie but it doesn't seem to work for me. Either down to mine being a AGPtek or me not knowing what I'm doing.
I at first presumed that there would something to mess with in my folder/window setting to view various types of files but didn't have any luck.

Give me a moment and I will find some probably equally useless advise now I have the actual name of the product you're enquiring about.

Data cable instead of charge only cable?

The problem I have is there is a song on my mp3 player that I want to rename so that I can move it in the list of songs. It plays with no problem, It displays on the player, it is listed on the player but when I plug it into my laptop and I open the list of songs it isn't in the list so I can't do anything with it.

Re: Music files on mp3 player not showing on computer
If this is a Windows laptop then check you have hidden files set to show. Maybe this MP3 file has the hidden property set. On Windows 10 File Explorer this is on the View tab in the Show/Hide section of the ribbon and listed as a tick box labelled Hidden Items.

Thanks again for the input. I switched to show hidden files but still no luck.

Have you tried the search function on laptop to look for the file on mp3 player? It may be in a strange place directory wise, but is still picked up by the mp3 player and put in song list...
