Installing mp3 playing on computer

Hi cream_soda21,

There are no drivers needed to be installed because Sansa Sandisk is a plug and play device. However, if your device can't be recognized by the computer, please consider visiting the link below. Please follow the step by steps procedure.

Sansa player not recognized by the computer

Hope it helps.

Thank you for using FixYa.

Go to this link and select your unit in the download wizard and download the drivers for your device. Install the drivers without the Clip MP3 plugged in. Once the drivers are installed, you can then plug in the Clip MP3 and windows should correctly identify your new hardward and finish installing the drivers for it.

if u have a installer CD with the device then
please install the driver then plug your device
in the connectivity cable.
format your device memory in my computer

a friend told me that if the device shows as"connected" when hooked up (it does) AND the battery charges correctly (it does), then (a)the USB connection had enough juice; and (b) the PC recognizes it - i just had to FIND it. device manager/ MyComputer: nada; same for ANY file/ folder with "sansa" or "sandisk." working thru WMP (Windows Media Player), however, I discovered that drive E - for a portable hard drive, NOT currently connected via USB - was STILL showing up in the "Copy to CD or device" field. sure enough, it was the SanDisk clip player (even though it was NOT under the "Recognized Portable Devices" subsection). without using the installation disk at all, it downloaded tunes just fine. *note: the installation disk seemed to be an .exe file ONLY for the Rhapsody music service. as noted above, it was unnecessary. also - my USB ports are 1.1 and not 2.0, and package stated USB 2.0 was a "minimum requirement" - not true*

try using sansa media converter you need quicktime player for it to work

what you will need to o is to install the vista driver..Once you have the driver install the device should be working without any problems..
Follow the link below to obtain the driver for your device..Select your device model and operating system.....

Uninstall all Sansa software using the add/remove programs function. Reinstall software from Sansa CD. Then and only then plug the mp3 player into the computer.

your going to need the driver install disk you can buy it at a kmart or wallmart they go for about $50 the only way you can get a driver back ~SP1Grim

Youmust have instaled MEDIA PLAYER 10 , oderwise your computer will NOT see the device

try updating the driver: right click "my computer" > properties > hardware (tab) > device manager > and you'd have a large list of hardwares. go to portable device, and click "sansa m2xx" (or whatever it is that says in your drive) to highlight it, and click the "update driver" button, which should be the 3rd to the last button at the top of your window. that's how it worked for me, and i'm using windows xp version. hope this helps.
