Hello,
I've just washed my MP3 player in with my gym kit. Needless to say my mp3 is not happy - and its in bits, but I am able to plug whats left of it into my laptop and it recognises my files (music) on it. How can I transfer the files from the mp3 to my laptop to transfer onto a new mp3? A message saying it was write protected came up......is that relevant?
