    I'm suspicious of any consumer product that comes from China. Of course, that's difficult to avoid entirely, but whether it will last any length of time is just as important a question as whether or not it will work.

    I don't know specifically, and you didn't mention what you put in it, but it could be a compliance problem. I googled the HDD player before I replied last night and I found that it is sort of like a device that plugs into a TV or monitor and plays DVDs, Divx, MP3s, etc. correct? If so, try something (relatively) easy like a sample MP3 or a DVD. If that plays, you know the thing basically works. If you're trying to play a Divx or MPEG-4 file right off the bat, there's lots that can go wrong.

    Check to see if the MP3s are encoded with a Variable Bit Rate - lots of devices don't support VBR for some reason. If you have Winamp, just play one on your PC and see if the bitrate changes. If so, it's a VBR; if not, it's Constant Bitrate. CBR should play in anything that supports MP3. If that doesn't work, it's almost certainly a problem with the HDD Player.
