Help! I tried to download new songs into my SanDisk Sana MP3, however it could not download because it would say that my MP3 was full, that there was no space. How can that be if i deleted all my songs?

Re: 500 songs, all gone but wont allow other downloads, "to full"

Use settings "format" on mp3 player. This will delete any hidden files. If you download in one format (say like Ubuntu) and delete them under another (say Windows), files can remain in *.trash which is hidden. To avoid this in the future, try deleting with shift+del as it will bypass the trash folder.

Format your player and it'll erase all the files that it's reading. I had the same issue and when I formatted it again it erased whatever it was reading.

See this tip posted here on this site. It may explain what is going on. copy this address into a new window -- http://www.fixya.com/support/r3774047-solve_mp3_player_connection_problem
If that does not work go here and download the Sandisk utility. http://kb.sandisk.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/156

The SanDisk Sansa m200 cooperates well with Windows Media Player 10 and subscription-based applications such as Napster To Go; it works without a hitch via drag and drop in Windows Explorer, even automatically organizing your files.

I later found out that while trying to download more songs, the entire songs in my sandisk mp3 was corrupted by a virus. I solved the problem by formatting the device and thereafter downloaded new songs into it. As soon as I did that, the songs started playing normally at full volume.

Use Windows Media Player to transfer songs to the Sansa Clip.

the software it only to tranfer and converted media into the portable device. to tranfer just click on add media then select the video that will be tranfer automatic. to load music onto the mp3 there are two ways using mediaplayer 10 or media player 11 will just work fine. another way it by selecting start then select my computer then u will see the portable device conected click on the device u will see files just ass photo,videos, music drop a drag the files onto music. hope this solve ur problem enjoy.
