Error message: Not enough space for music DB. Please free 4MB.

Hi
I have just bought a Sandisk Sansa M250, we loaded som music on it and it lasted 2 hours, then it the message came "Not enough space for music DB please free 8 MB". I couldnt even go in to the menu. I contakted Sandisk.com and 24 hours after they came up with an answer.


If it's currently frozen, hold down the power button for 20 seconds in order to soft reset it.

Let's try to format the player (THIS WILL ERASE ALL FILES FROM THE PLAYER). Plug it into your computer, then open My Computer, right-click the drive associated with the player, and choose Format. It may give you a choice of file system, if so, choose FAT (it may only let you choose FAT32, which is fine). Now click on Start and it should format the player.

If not already done, please also update the firmware from this link:

The 20 seconds on the power button didnt work, but the formation did.

Hope this helps.

Rima,

I have the EXACT EXACT same problem as you! Did you find a solution yet? Please help someone :(

Cadmann, when i try to format my sansa m240, it shows an error messages saying: "Windows was unable to complete the format".

The problem with my mp3 player is that when i plug it in the computer its normal and everything, and i can open my "audible" folder and see my songs, but after deleting all my songs, they're still there. When i try to play a song, WMP says that they cant play the file. When I turn on my mp3, it says: "Not enough space for music DB. Please free 8 MB" and then when that message disappears it says: "No files 0/0" on the supposed-to-be playlist area. And I can't access the menu either. Please Help!!!!!!!!

Rima

thanx it fixed my problem!!!!
