Could it be because iPlayer download files have a 30 day limit built in?
The Op at least infers they play OK on his laptop. Good point though.

I am trying to play an audio file from a memory stick. The manual tells me that I can play mp3 files, but the machine rejects them as “incorrect format”. Does anybody know what I need to do to play them?
I’m wondering whether the “incorrect format” message is referring to the format of the memory stick, or the individual files. Please would clarify.
Can you see each individual file when examining the memory stick on the FVP-5000T, or do you get the “incorrect format” when attempting to list the files?
Well, I tried my stick again which contains a mixture of video and audio files. All the files were visible and some videos played correctly, avi and mkv but not mp4; and when I tried to play audio files, they seemed to start, but then stopped. The message was the same for both video and audio failures: “Cannot support this music file due to invalid file format”
BUT
Then I tried a different USB stick with the same files and it worked! So Luke has guessed right – for some reason the stick is OK on both my PCs and partly works on my 5000T but It looks as if Humax is more fussy than Windoze. Bin time for the stick.
I am sorry to have wasted everybody’s time, but for me, I have found a good source of file converter websites.
Many thanks for all your suggestions.

Bin time for the stick.
Can’t you try to reformat the stick? Check the format of the stick that worked and reformat the “dud” one to match. Might work.
I’ve found Maniac Tool’s Free M4a to MP3 Converter very quick and easy to use when converting iPlayer audio files.
