Garmin Not Playing MP3's

 

I did read the FAQ's, so I'm sorry if this has already been asked.

In short, I can't play MP3's.
The volume is up.

I have listened to pre-loaded files, but can't hear them anymore either. I hit the "Play" triangle, and the button turns into the 2 bar "Stop" button which would indicate the file is playing...but it isn't.

I press the fast forward button and the progress bar moves forward. When I let go, it disappears.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

BTW, I just found this forum so I could ask this question, but I think I'll be back often!

what is your unit

some units do not play MP3, so you need to tell us the name and model of your unit.

If you have not gotten a manual for your unit, go here (as it may answer questions)

Volume

On the main menu, click on Volume, then Mixer. Make sure your Media volume is not set to 0.

Considering the OP has stated that he can press the Play/Stop/FF buttons on his unit I would say its safe to assume his unit can play mp3s!!

My bad

he clearly said he could once play

Have you recently added MP3s?

If you have, one of the files may be corrupt, or not playable on the Nuvi.

Have you tried playing other MP3s on the unit? Do they ALL not play??
