Why can't I transfer music to my mp3 player?

I bought Gigatech mp3 player (with that clipper thingy) , and I can't transfer anything to it via USB cable, it says that ''file is not on the computer''. WHERE IS IT? ON MARS?!?! and my adapter for memory card won't go in the computer.

So basically... Why doesn't it transfer music??

Thank you.

    If it's a generic "ipod shuffle lookalike" player (which as far as I know- is) - consider the fact that it most like likely dosn't have a memory of it's own (you reffered to a memory card- so I assume you know this).

    So, make sure there isn't a HOLD or a LOCK switch activated- on the player or on the card (some memory cards have a *tiny* switch), and that it wasn't activated while charging.

    Also, make sure the files are indeed in .mp3 file format and are not DRM protected / you are not trying to "copy-paste" a shortcut to a file.

    There are two possibilities the one is your data cable is damage and the other is your your MP 3 or system jack is damage.
