Where can I download the software for a Speedo Aquabeat MP3 player?

RayInLV asks:

We have a Speedo Aquabeat MP3 Player and for some reason the software on the computer it was installed on no longer works. We have lost the Mini-Installation CD.

Does anyone know where we can download this software from? I have searched and just wind up in sites that want to sell driver update programs and other stuff but not the software for this device.

    Thank you all, but funny thing happened during the 2 days it took this to post. 

    I had checked the Speedo site in detail.   Did not  know exactly what was on the mini-dvd and whether I needed the playlist editor.

    She then says, this was 4 years old (big clue).   Her laptop had been updated from Vista to Windows 7.  I normally work on a Windows 7 machine.   W7 driver update search said we were current.

    So I plugged it into my 10 year old XP dell machine (on which it had never been used) and XP instantly recognized the device, installed drivers asked for reboot and let me access it directly with Windows Explorer by assigning a drive letter. 

    The device had no partition on it, so formatted Fat32 (guessed at this)

    We copied the music back out there (drag and drop).  Note that we had a backup  because this all started when daughter was trying to update with a MacBook Air. I have no idea how that got done.. (lol)

    Everything is working…

    My thought is the driver does not work on Windows 7 and may never have been updated because the device is not very expensive…

    Thank you all.

      Nice. Playlist editor cant be the driver I think.
      But you can use it, According to my search, this is the only extra software related to your player, and I think it can be on that mini disc.

      Hello, you could probably make it work by running program in compatibility mode or by running the .exe file as administrator
