I have found a fix when updating windows media player 10 and it no longer
detects a portable device. A windows media player plugin is required.
For MPIO devices follow these instructions:

Install the plug-in for Windows Media Player provided on the installation
CD. Make sure that you are not running any other programs and the player
is not connected to the PC. After installation is complete, connect the
player to the computer and start the Windows Media Player. Go to the
'Copy to CD or Device' option and select the internal memory under the
'items on device'drop-down menu. Open the play list you want to transfer
to the player under the 'items to copy' and select the songs you want to
transfer. Click on the copy button at the right top corner.



Please, follow these steps to download files to the pc with Windows Media
Player.



1. Turn on the MPIO player.
2. Connect the USB cable into the computer and MPIO player.
3. Open Windows Media Player.
4. Click on Copy to CD or Device (left side of Windows Media Player
screen).
5. Select Internal Memory pull down option under Items on Device (right
side of Windows Media Player screen).

6. Make Sure that the sign on the left of the MPIO Record folder is a (+),
if (-) please click it to change to a (+).

7. Click and highlight any song you already have on the player and thus
making the MPIO Record folder not highlighted.
8. Select Items to copy (left side of Windows Media Player screen).
9. Click on Copy button in the upper right of the Windows Media Player
screen.

10. Close the Windows Media Player after all the music is transferred
before you unplug the MPIO product from your PC.

If you are using a different type of device you will probably have to find
the specific windows media plugin for your device. Hope this helps.
