The other day I was testing out a new mp3 encoder and I put one of the test files on my Rio Car. When I tried to play the file in the car the player refused to play the file and stopped responding to all input. The display indicates that it is on the track but it does not play, it just sits there and does nothing. After a few minutes it seems to go through what looks like something of a partial reboot or something and then right back to the nonworking file. I tried to connect to the player via emplode both on a serial and USB but emplode will not see the player. I was able to connect using my other player so I think that I'm doing everything correct there. I was able to upgrade the software but that did not help. I was able to connect with hyperterminal and I have pasted the output of that below, looking at the terminal output it seems that the player is in some sort of loop. I suspect that if I were to remove that file, or at least be able to keep the player from going right to it after it boots all would be fine, but I'm no Linux expert and I'm not really sure what to do. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance

Here is what I copied over from hyperterminal:
