[EDIT: I fixed this by deleting ALL my files (will have to re-copy music and video). But how to fix this otherwise?]

I just got my 4GB F2 today (firmware 1.11 - can't update to 1.13 until I get to a Windows machine) and I love it - BUT it is now "stuck" on bootup on a screen that says "No Music", and no buttons I push have any effect. It will turn off and turn back on, but after booting, it goes straight into "No Music." If I click the reset button, it goes black and can be restarted, but again the same problem.

I cannot use the technique on p. 44 of the PDF manual (at http://www.cowonamerica.com/download/iaudio_f2_manual.html), because the buttons do not respond.

It is probably partly because I set it to Autoplay (I think this means start playing music on boot). The major thing that I changed was to set it to browse by Music instead of by File - and it's probably stuck because it may have problems with some of my Ogg and FLAC tags. :-(

I have tried moving all Ogg and FLAC files out of the MUSIC directory and into a Temp directory, even into the MOVIES directory. Now I am deleting nearly 4GB worth of files and hoping that this will help.

Is this because of Music Browse mode? If so, this is very frustrating - I really would rather have the capability to browse by ID3 tags.
