Hello...

The RCA LYRA brand is not a Plays for Sure device meaning you can not manage playlists on it. Basically you have a mini hard drive.

2 approaches are possible:

1. Plug the LYRA into your computer with a USB cable. It will show up as a drive (if you have an SD card in it that will show up as a seperate drive). Now simply drag your files over to the drive using copy/paste or drag and drop. Files can be in mp3 or wma format.

2. Use any music media software such as Windows Media Player or Winamp or Songbird etc...if you are running windows you'll have Windows Media Player on your machine. You can use WMP to manage your music on the computer and when you want to move some to your player you again just plug your LYRA into the computer and your software will see that there is a new 'drive'...just move the music over by drag and drop

BTW you can't have more than 128 files on the root directory with this tech. Move your songs within a folder!

So...first thing to test is when you plug in the LYRA is the system recognizing it as a drive? (make sure your batteries are fresh)
