eeek I reay seem to have messed up my iFP895.

Mostly Ive used it with linux and the ifpline package which has worked OK the past two years, but then, maybe because battery failed or something, it stopped mid way through transfer but player didn't seem to want to recover, it just says "scan music file", turns off and turns on with same message and so on.

I was a little impulsive then and decided to reformat and update firmware, ifpline seems to now how to do it. After reformat it couldn't pull much info from the payer anymore.

Ooops! SO I go into windows but I don't have the music manager SW anymore, so I try downloading it, but all I get is the korean version. However I try that and click all the buttons while the player and no connection is made with it.

It really looks as if I have fried it. However, I didn't think they fried that easily. Isn't there some sort of reset button so I can bring it back to some primitive state?

Has anybody any advice for me? Serves me right for starting to think that it was out of date, and for buying a iPOD shuffle. May be I don't deserve any advice ....
