GPX Mp3 Player ML648B

Interesting as it was I finally got this MP3 player to be recognized as a flash storage device.

MTP - Media Transfer Protocol

This may be a good idea but I'd rather just drag and drop my music.

On the MP3 player you choose:
1. Settings
2. Online Device
3. Select either MEDIA DEVICE or USB DiSK

Reason and Common Sense

Believe nothing,
no matter where you read it,
or who said it,
no matter if I have said it,
unless it agrees with your
own reason and your own common sense.
