Place the Sansa in Recovery Mode, plug in, and see that the 16MB FORMAT icon appears in Windows Explorer.Right click in the window, and create a new folder named sansa.fmtDO NOT ATTEMPT TO FORMAT THE RESERVED PARTITION USING THE WINDOWS FORMAT COMMAND!
Drag and drop the sansa.fmt folder into the 16MB FORMAT partition. Right-click and select eject.
Unplug, and see if it will automatically format.

Hi, When you save new songs on the sandisk the old song are over written and saved. So just continue downloading and saving. Good luck.

Please try and use the reset button to make the player reset to default condition.
If this wont work try and connect the player to the PC and open all files, use a scan on the player and remove all files and format.

Definitely! You don't need the software at all. Just connect the player to your computer with the USB. It should open as a disk drive (if it asks you, choose 'open folder to view files') and then you can just copy music to it with drag and drop. Then use 'safely remove hardware' before you unplug it again, and you should be 'good to go'.

Hello,

Sorry to hear about your trouble.

First make sure the MP3 player has a charge. Plug it into the wall for 30 minutes then try to turn it on. If it has a removable battery, go ahead and remove the battery and put it back in.
If you are still having trouble, you may have to perform a hard reset of the device. Usually, you can do this by pressing the small reset button on the back/bottom of the device and holding it for 30 seconds. Beware, this may delete any music, videos and settings on the device.

If you are not able to get it working with the above tips, I would recommend you reach out to the technical support for the device. You can click here for tech support. The device may need to be replaced and maybe free if under warranty.

Regards,

Its very easy...here is a link to a user manual.

It isnt the exact brand but all mp3 players are the same basic instructions:

Hello. You will need to delete a few tracks from your MP3 player to in order to add more songs.

Simply select the songs you wish to delete, right click, and click "Delete" or "Move to Recycle Bin"

To select more than one song at a time, you can multi-select by selecting one song, holding down Ctrl on your keyboard, and selecting the others until all songs you don't want are selected.

1 Gb is rather small, coming in at about 1024 Megabytes. The average cd quality Mp3 file is around 3.5 to 5 megabytes in size.

1024 / 5 = 204.8

This means you will only be able to fit around 203 high-quality mp3s on your player at one time, and will periodically need to delete and replace them as your music library gets larger.

With these smaller capacity mp3 players, it is often handy to arrange your music library into small folders on your computer so that you can simply clear the player and drop in the contents of one folder. You can even monitor how many files are in each folder to ensure you don't run into this problem often.


I hope this was helpful. -

When your player is connected to your computer with the USB connector, you can use your computer file browser software to view all files on your player. Your player will appear as Sansa m230 or m240. Follow these steps:
1. Use the USB connector cable provided with your player to connect the USB port on the top of your player to an open USB port on your computer. The player will appear as a Windows Portable Device on your computer.
2. Delete your music files to the player with software tools like Rhapsody, Windows Media Player or Napster Client.

To transfer music from your computer to your player:
1. Use the USB connector cable provided with your player to connect the USB port on your player to an open USB port on your computer. The player will appear as a Windows Portable Device on your computer. (Can't find the USB port on your player? See The Basic Controls section on page 3.)
2. Drag and drop music files to the player from any location on your hard-drive

Not a problem, go to http://www.sandisk.com/sandisk-support/driver-download-wizard Select M200 and your operating system

The easiest way that I have found to put music onto non-ipod MP3 players is to use a program called MediaMonkey. Just ensure that your MP3 player is plugged in when you start the program and it will show up on the left hand panel of the program. For further clarification please reply.

dear friend just connect your mp3 to computer OPEN THE DRIVE open the folder that contains all your file. select all of them and delete now you can copy new music on it. thanks Gagan

If you are on a Mac Computer you can highlight the songs in iTunes and then drag them to the Sansa Disk on your desktop.
If you are on a PC (i'm not sure if it works the same for both) you can right click on the song and click open containing folder and it will display where the songs are located on your computer (usually this is My Documents/Music/itunes/itunes media/music) From there you can drag them into the sansa disk to copy them.
Hope this helps
