my son bought one of your mp3 players and it got wet, the screen comes on for a while and then it goes dim. the only way to see it is to hold it sideways. is there anything that we can do to get it to stay on??
by the way. they wound very nice. his is a blue one that wal-mart said that they don;t carry anymore
on February 6th, 2006 at 8:59 pm
The box may not be damaged. The light automcaticlly dims after you hit play from what I assume is a preset deafult to save energy. After all it only runs off a AAA battery. Yet it can run for days off this.
I got it to listen to sermons in mp3 (check http://www.sermonaudio.com ). I was able to load 183 sermons into it on only one Gig. I was floored at the amount of room.
Anyways, it’s a great little player at a superb price. If it got wet & was ruined that doesn’t make it in any way deffective, after all.

i think that for the price you definately cant go wrong.i dont have any complaints, and for the first guy that left your review, that is just ignorant! that is like saying that your television is defective cause you tried to watch it at the bottom of your pool and it wouldnt power up! some people are just dumb
on February 20th, 2006 at 4:22 pm
i bought this mp3 player but the player won’t read any of the songs i put on it. the songs are there, since my computer will read the songs off of the device, but i can’t actually use it the way it was intended. any idea of what might have gone wrong?
on February 21st, 2006 at 2:36 am
Check your file formats. It can only play mp3 and wma. After that, try re-encoding a couple songs to mp3 or wma and see if it works.

You have to use windows media player and “sync” the music from your library to the device. Believe me I discovered this after much heartache and madness from trying to figure it out.
on March 2nd, 2006 at 1:44 pm
Do you guys know that the new ILO 2GB is out? It’s even smarter looking than the 1GB. I saw it in Walmart last night!!!
on March 7th, 2006 at 11:40 am
I got a ilo 1GB mp3 player.
My ilo shows the word “record”, but the pamphlet that came with my ilo says nothing about recording or how. I’m assuming it can ‘voice record’.
What I want to do is record a song I like from a video clip I have saved in my favorites – how do I do this?
on March 7th, 2006 at 5:45 pm
i bought one it worked great for awhile but then i got a message on the screen that says “Incorrect format please reformat the player” i tried to reformat it but it doesn’t work i don’t know what to do.
on March 7th, 2006 at 6:19 pm
I bought an ILO a while back, but dropped it when I was jogging. It landed on the power button, and now I can’t get it to work at all. Any suggestions on how to fix it? Does the company have a website?
on March 8th, 2006 at 11:33 pm
I just bought the 1GB one. I saw that someone said that you have to use Windows Media Player. I have a large library already in MusicMatch. Does this mean I won’t be able to drag songs from MusicMatch into this player? Will I have to create a new library in Windows Media Player first?
on March 11th, 2006 at 6:27 pm

Dont waste your money on this piece of ****!! i bought an ilo mp3 1GB and it is suposed to hold like 480 songs, well i got to 250 songs and it wouldnt let me put anymore on there!! If any of yall think they can help me with my problem please contact me at: shortmonk88@yahoo.com
on June 1st, 2006 at 3:54 pm
For the incorrect format issues / acting funky issues : just connect the device to your pc and treat it like a regular storage drive: browse to it and either delete all the .dat files in the there, or right click on the drive and select format. This clears up a lot of problems. (I did this and some of the files came back, but had a file size of 0. Didn’t have any problems afterwards.)
You can really store any file on here: I keep ebooks on the expansion disk, or files for work– .mp3s on the main drive. You don’t need to do anything to transefer or copy the files, either. I don’t I use Windows Media Player, and I haven’t touched the instation Cd. I use an open-source ripper, rip them as .mp3s and just copy the files onto the drive.
Hope this helps somebody.
on June 7th, 2006 at 6:34 am
We purchased the ilo 1G for our daughter at christmas time. The volume button broke after 3 months. So we took it back and exchanged it for another one. after 4 months that volume button broke. We contacted them about this problem and they said it was too late, they would not do anything because the 90 days was up from the original purchase. I see from a reply in may that someone else has this problem. I wonder if this happens often. I think a product should work more than 3-4 months after purchase. Don’t you???

i dropped my ilo and now it won’t turn on. How do i fix this.
on July 13th, 2006 at 11:10 am
i have an ilo and it works fine but is there like speakers or somthin u can buy so u dont have to listen to it with earphones all the time?
on July 15th, 2006 at 6:41 pm
Well this is a cheap mp3 player for 1GB. I have one and it worked very well when I first had it. About 3 months after the radio didn’t work. It would reset itself and go to the first song on the song list. Then 4 months later it got crushed in my backpack and the screen lookes like a lava lamp. Then in the same place the volume button got shoved in and now the volume can’t be turned up, only down. And just recently it keeps reseting itself. The screen gets very bright, dims down, and then for a second turns off. It does this over and over until I pull out the battery. Seriously it is not the most dependable player. Does ILO have a website?
on July 26th, 2006 at 5:36 pm
I had the problem with the message of having to format the drive….. I have tried everything I know which is actually quite a bit being a former senior technician for Dell, but I just couldnt do it. I just brought it back to walmart and exchanged it… They are good about that. I think what may have happened is that one of the songs I downloaded using the almighty Kazzaa may have had a virus. I guess when u get free illegal music you get what u pay for…
on July 27th, 2006 at 8:17 pm

on August 5th, 2006 at 7:25 pm
This is a warning to anyone thinking about buying the ILO 1gb mp3 player! I recieved my ILO for christmas of 2005 it worked perfectly for about a month, then one day while at school I set it down on a desk (softly mind you ) and suddenly it said format files. Well, I sent a message to support@siren.com (I think thats what it is) and they gave me some instructions on how to fix it. That worked, but then about a week later the power button broke. I contacted siren again and they told me to take it back to the place of purchase… which I did, they replaced it with another ILO 1gb and a similar thing occured 2x!!! First an error then something mysteriously broke. Well just a few days ago I went back to walmart and complained that my ILO wasnt working yet again they allowed me to replace the ILO with a Scandisk Mp3 player. No problems with that yet. THANK YOU WALMART for allowing me to return. My suggestion is for everyone who has an ILO to take it back to the store and tell them what a hard time you’e been having with it!
Hope this helps!
on August 8th, 2006 at 8:20 am
Seems that Siren products all have problems with them. We purchased another Siren MP3 player for our son back in January. We changed the battery after about 2 or 3 weeks and got a message to reformat. Tried to reformat and couldn’t. Contacted Siren’s customer service and they told us how to reformat, but that didn’t work. Contacted them again and they gave us the same instructions they gave us before. I tried to take the product back to Walmart (after only a month) and even with the receipt, they refused to take it back. Said they never sold that product. Mind you, I had the receipt from the same store… idiots!!! Siren honored the warranty, but it took four months and not less than 3 phone calls and several emails going back and forth until we finally got this replacement. This company is not good to deal with and I would not recommend purchasing their products. So far we have not had any issues with this new player, but again, with the run around we got just trying to get a repair or even the replacement took way too long and every time I talked to someone their, they just gave me one sad excuse after another.

Hi,
I bought my son an ilo mp3 player three years ago. He has had no problems with it. The little player has also been through the wash twice and the dryer once and keeps on working. The first time it went through the wash we dried it out with a hair dryer. So I would recommend the ilo.
Thanks
on August 15th, 2006 at 5:54 pm
hi,
i havent had any problems with this mp3 player until now. whenever i turn on the device, it says,
“incorrect format reformat the player!”
and i have tryed many times to reformat it, and it still wont work.
please help.
on August 26th, 2006 at 11:52 pm
I bought this MP3 Player, and would have to say mine was fragile at best. It was slower than my other siren mp3 player, and the plastic felt really cheap. Well, low and behold, we hit a bump in the car, and the thing test out gravity and hits the ground. The plastic buttons were pushed in, and there was a rattling inside. I found use for it after that, though. I unscrewed the cover (I don’t recommend this to everyone) and saw where the switches/buttons were, lined up the plastic, and made it work again. The second time I dropped it, a couple switches came off, LoL. I still used it, albeit with the face completely off, and a paperclip to simulate the switches/buttons. Everything was going fine until, at lat, the screen has died, and it is very impractical as anything other than a flash drive. I don’t use windwos, I use Linux, and normalls I can mount it/unmount it no problem, but recently it can’t even be mounted/written to. How do I fix this? I presume a reformatting would work, but have not tried. Anyway, there are loads of better quality MP3 players out there for ya’ll, but you get what you pay for!
on August 26th, 2006 at 11:55 pm
Oh yea, and there is a limited warranty, not a lifetime warranty, and they have no obligation to you to make a product that say it will last to infinity. Also size of each song matters. I easily put over 400 songs on mine, in mp3pro format, which is compressed at the same CD quality of WMA (Ew…microsoft). Also, flash memory is not permanent, and it “wears” with usage, though that doesn’t seem to be any of ya’ll’s problems. Hope you’re a little more informed.
on September 6th, 2006 at 7:42 pm
I’ve been using my MP3 ilo for almost 2 years without problems, yesterday started to display “no files” even when the internal memory has mp3 files.
I just reinstall firmware (1.116) and it back to life. If you need software to repair your firmware, just write to support@sirenplayer.com and ask for it or goggle it.
I really like this device, sorry I can’t say the same for my ipod shuffle.
on September 7th, 2006 at 8:00 pm
I’ve had my ilo mp3 player for six months.One day it drop on the ground and the volume button was smashed into the mp3 player.So I took the side apart to see what happen and the voulme button came out of the mp3 player.Now the voulme button is broke.What I need to know is where can I send it to get it repaired and how much does it cost.If you know please email me at alexisj11@sbcglobal.net. Thank you.
on September 11th, 2006 at 5:12 pm
Um, I have the orange one, and, I liked it at first, but, then, the head phoes went all weird. We had some poeple who knew about these MP3 players look at them, and it was a bad MP3 player. So we got another one that is exactly the same. I don’t really like it anymore. It doesn’t respond when I push buttons.
on September 11th, 2006 at 5:15 pm
I mean that they were pluged in all the way, but, you didn’t even get 1/4 the sound. Is everyone elses slow?
on September 11th, 2006 at 5:24 pm
Is everyone elses slow? I mean, the head phones worked, and, they were plugged all the way in, but you didn’t even get 1/4 the sound. It was aweful.
on September 15th, 2006 at 5:05 am
Well, looks like I’m not the only one having problems with this piece of ****.
Never dropped, or abused..changed batery, got the incorrect format as well, after doing a google, looks like I’m far from the only one. Emailed Siren now a half dozen times..at least some of you are getting a response..none so far for me..not a single thing…guess they’re getting tired of seeing the samer old thing from their “past” customers. With all these problems, you’d think they’d have the sense to post the dmn update on their website…guess that’s also asking too much!
on September 15th, 2006 at 5:08 am
Do yourslef a favor, save your money on this piece of ****, and the aspirin you’ll need when trying to get this thing to work after your warranty runs out..
DO NOT BUY!!! (wish i’d heard about this before I did)
on September 17th, 2006 at 4:46 pm

I have the 1GB iLO & have had no problems so far. I have Creative Ven speakers for it, but I was thinking about using my iLO for music at a upcoming party, & the volume is not nearly loud enough. I was wondering if anyone new any speakers that will work with iLO & provide good sound quality as well as volume. Thank you.
on September 26th, 2006 at 8:28 pm
When i turn on the mp3 player it says “Incorrect format, please reformat the player!” what is this **** and how do i fix it?
on October 8th, 2006 at 9:19 pm
i like the ilo mp3 player when it has fm recording and the fact that when it freezes in a full blue moon you can take out the battery and it will run again and it is really light weight and not big like a ghetto ipod! Also i like the fact that it can run on windows 98SE and it comes with a long usb cord and the light on it is really good and the batteey will last for days if you put it hold in your packet so it does not turn on. you do not have to reformat the ilo becuase you have to rstart your computer because the pc has a really big problem sometimes when it finds out that you are using windows media player Duh!
on October 8th, 2006 at 9:24 pm
TOO EVERYONE!!!!!!! YOU DO NOT HAVE TO REFORMAT THE ILO MP3 PLAYER!!!!!! the pc sometimes will tell you to reformat because the windows media player has a big hole in the system. also the pc gets really confused when you have alot of things running. all you have to do is restart your computer. i really dont know for mac or windows me,2000 or xp but this works for windows 98se
on October 8th, 2006 at 9:26 pm
jd i did not get a reponse from siren either when my earbuds did not come in the package
on October 8th, 2006 at 9:29 pm
tina um you go to the main menu and look for record and then press record with the enter button then press play
on October 9th, 2006 at 11:50 am
You probably need to reload the firmware for the player. I contacted the support department and they sent me a link to the firmware installer. After running the software my Mp3 player is functional once again. Here you go:
Thank you for contacting Siren Audio Support. In order to flash your player’s firmware, please follow these steps:
Please connect the player to a rear USB port on the computer. The display should show “USB Connected”. (If not, please press the power button.)
Please make sure that all unused programs and applications are closed. You can close the applications by closing as many of the icons in the lower right hand corner (by the clock) as possible.
Download the correct Firmware
Click here to download the Siren 512 Firmware
- https://system.netsuite.com/core/media/media.nl?id=16075&c=432868&h=68a87fdefb1fe2d5903b&_xt=.zip
Click here to download the ILO 116 Firmware
- https://system.netsuite.com/core/media/media.nl?id=16076&c=432868&h=b25618a8ea7ead5c9573&_xt=.zip
Click Open to initiate the download
Double click on the ILO or Siren folder icon. There will be 14 icons.
There will be a Setup icon that looks like a box with a blue line on it; please double click on this.
Then click Run – this will open the Install Wizard.
The Install Wizard has the instructions on the screen as you go through it.
Once the firmware has installed, please click the Start menu, then Programs.
Look for the icon that says ILO or Siren, and then double click the Firmware Update to install to the player. Depending on how severe the corruption to the firmware on the player is, you might have to do this step 2 or 3 times in order for it to completely repair the firmware.
Additional Tip: The player itself requires a lot of power while flashing the firmware. We suggest disconnecting all USB devices from the computer except the MP3 player and mouse; you can reconnect your keyboard once the firmware has been flashed.
This should resolve the problem. If you have any further questions or concerns, please feel free to reply to support@sirenplayer.com (including the entire e-mail thread) or call us at 254-224-0222. We are open Monday – Friday, from 8:00AM to 8:00PM CST.

HAVANA (AP) Photographs of Fidel Castro standing and talking on the phone were published Sunday in Cuba’s state-run media, a day after the ailing leader appeared in a video to dispel rumors he was on his deathbed.
The Communist Youth newspaper Juventud Rebelde dedicated its front page to the Cuban president, printing a blown-up picture of a pensive Castro with the title “Always fighting for something, and fighting with optimism!”

I bought an Ilo MP3 player and I love it, but all of a sudden it just turned off, the power button seems to be pushed down causing it to stay off. How do I fix or where can I get it fixed? is it easy?
on November 16th, 2006 at 10:39 pm
So, whenever I turn my ilo mp3 player on, it gets as far as the “Searching Song Files…” screen, and then it goes back to the “ilo” entrance screen, and repeats these two screens ad infiniatum.
Any help?

i got a ilo mp3 player for christmas and the same day it says that i have the incorrect format and that i need to correct it. i have been to atleast 20 websites to figure out the problem. then i relized that i need a sim card looking thing in it and that mite solve the problem.

Purchased iLO 5xx at Walmart – tried to load it and discovered it would not load corectly on my xp sp2 box with WMP 11 installed on it. Took the Player to a machine with WMP 10 and all works correctly. Microsofts web site states that some mp3 players will not work corectly after installing WMP 11. Apparently this device is affected. Do not try to use WMP 11 and this device at this time, the manufacture of the iLO device has been made aware of the issue and has stated they will look into the problem

I purchased at full price, before Walmart Clearanced the ilo 1 gb mp3 player. I can’t find a online manual, we have misplaced ours.
1) Is a Ilo Website ?
2) I downloaded a Walmart song onto my computer, transfered the song onto the Ilo, but it shows the song is there, but it won’t play, it just skips right over it.
I would appreciate your help! This was a christmas gift for my 9 year old son.

this is to (ticked at cheep mp3) if u have the ilo mp3 player like i do u have to use the install cd u put in the cd and then u plug in ur mp3 players usb cable into the usb port. When i installed my startup cd or whatever and clicked sync or whatever all of my mp3 or wma formatted songs went onto my mp3 player it should probably b the same for u (cause i have xp too)
and i actually have a ? for ilo 1Gb mp3 player users

I’ve searched all over the net for the answer so please help

After the 90 days, all you have to do is go to Wal-mart and buy another one. Then, return the broken one in the new packaging with the new receipt. Insist that you don’t simply exchange it, as you don’t want another POS. Now go buy a different brand.
I bought one of these things yesterday; should have researched first. Will probably bring it back tonight.
Don’t worry about Wal-Mart losing money on your crappy MP3 player. Aren’t they now the largest retail store in the world…? I’m sure they can absorb not making a profit on your sale; same as if you never bought it in the first place. Wal-Mart doesn’t care about you. Let them have their ILO back.

Is there any player that doesn’t require Windows Media Player to synch?!
I’m thinking some by Samsung don’t require it, but am not sure.
To me, that is just one more layer of things to go wrong. I bought a Memorex 2 GB and loved it for the 15 minutes that it kinda worked.
Media Player was a HUGE headache, it would move files around even though I set it to not, it wouldn’t let me do things that seemed simple like sort songs alphabetically.
I just want a flash-drive that plays music, why is that so difficult??

PIECE OF JUNK!!!!!!!!!!! I will NEVER purchase anything that is ILO I have used this player approximately a dozen times. It is junk. The buttons are broke. I either have to listen to it all the way up, or have no volume. I can’t forward or reverse. I have to take the battery out to turn it off. Please give me an address so that I can send this piece of junk back to you!
on February 6th, 2007 at 7:56 pm
THIS IS A PIECE OF JUNK! I BAUGHT MINES YESTERDAY. WELL TO START OF IM 14 YESTERDAY AFTER SCHOOL I DECIDED TO GO TO WALMART AND BUY ME A MP3 TO LITSEN TO IN CLASS SO WHEN I BAUGHT IT INSTALLED THE CD AND EVERYTHING I TURNED IT ON AND IT LAST FOR AT LEAST 10 MINUTES AND IT WOULD AUTOMATICALLY TURN OFF! THEN LATER THAT NIGHT IT COMPLETELY SHUT OFF AND I REPLACED THE BATTERYS(ALL NEW) LIKE 3 TIMES SO THAT SAME NIGHT I RETURNED IT I WAS MAD AND IM NEVER BUYING A ILO PRODUCT NO MORE!

i bought 2 ilo mp3 players for my boys at christmas. i went to put songs on them and 1 wouldn’t even play the songs the other 1 did for 2 months and now it wont play at all. this brand stinks. we also bought a tv 6 months before christmas ilo brand of course and had to take it back. we learned out lesson so please do no buy this brand it stinks BIG TIME!!!!!
on February 22nd, 2007 at 4:52 pm
i’ve had the same problem as a lot of you, bought the ilo 1gb a few months ago to listen to at work. used for a month until i got layed off, put it away and went back to work yesterday, used it yesterday and today went to turn the volume up and the volume button is stuck in and wont turn up. took it apart and the volume + button was broke off the board, they are junk, so anyone thinking of buying anything that is ilo brand, dont, cause walmart says they cant exchange it
on February 27th, 2007 at 9:46 pm
This thing is a p.o.s. I wouldn’t suggest buying one. It’s amazing that a company can have so many unhappy customers and not do anything about it. Walmart wouldn’t let me return mine, so I’m not shopping there anymore. They can stick it.
on March 9th, 2007 at 10:58 am

I also bought this for my son for Christmas. Walmart has exchanged it once. Now the power button (and first the volume) just decided to become flimsy? So we can only take the batteries out each time to shut it off. This is truly a crappy gadget. I should of went Apple.

With your receipt, Walmart will exchange. But I keep the plastics on anything gadgetry that I buy just for times like this.

i am trying to load my little sisters’ friend’s ilo siren 1gb mp3 player with her mp3’s and now this piece of junk has cra*ed out. the music stopped uploading at less that one half of a gigabyte, then won’t start when unplugged from my computer (though music plays fine through the computer’s speakers. ???????)
i tried to reformat and fix the firmware with the above update but no go. update can’t even find the device.

hi all.
on June 14th, 2007 at 6:12 pm
Whatever you do do not use the battery that comes with it. It will cause the ILO to say reformat the libary or something. And then you have to call the company and the have to send you a file to download onto the mp3 player. I found out the hard way.

i bought an ilo and it worked for a while then when i tried to turn it on and the screen stays blank and wont turn on
on July 6th, 2008 at 10:58 pm
my on/off switch broke.the button pushed the switch to far inside and knocked it off of the circuit board.(i opened it to see what happened).mine turns on when plugged in to pc withe the usb cord. i can turn it on in my car using my cell phone charger because luckily it has the same size plug-in. to shut it off set the power setting for it to go off when idle for 1-minute, so when you hit stop the unit will turn off in a minute
on October 24th, 2008 at 9:25 pm
HI ,I have the firmware for ILO, 1gb, plus a couple of trix to fix the device, for thoses of you who aren’t afraid to open it, you could replace the push button who are really “fragile”. Mine is 2yr old and I had to fix it a lot. When uploading new song, you probably need to re-format and redo the sync in media player. All other feature works well, and keep in mind that 1gb for less than 100$, have to come with some “cheap” features. Plus, you could put a 2-3gb card in it to boost your memory.
Any question are welcome since the Siren company will probably not anser your email.: patcouriel75@hotmail.com
on November 6th, 2008 at 7:56 pm
This device is ****. Fortunately I got it for free from a friend — now I see why it was free. I use it for its internal storage as a USB flash drive. It frequently cuts out in the middle of transfers, even small files. It disconnects, the drive disappears, I cannot access it, and it doesn’t reappear for a while.
I can download things to it but I have to be quick and I have to get only a handful before it disconnects arbitrarily. Not worth the money — get one for free from a friend if you can, and then rob somebody of 100 dollars with it. Easiest scam ever.

Anyone have a manual for the 1gig OLI MP3 player
on September 30th, 2009 at 9:25 pm
My friend just recently gave me hers, and it plays music fine, but when I want to play a recording I made, I go to it and press play. The problem is it freezes on me and it won’t do anything. It won’t play. What should I do?
