Welcome to the DriverHeaven forums lingham...

Manufacturer brand name and exact model of the device please?

My suspicion is that you may have to dump your MP3's off onto your computer's hard drive, and get a file from the manufacturer to 'repair' the space problem on your USB drive - but I want to check first with the manufacturer...
