Sansa reads as empty but actually still has music

Having gone over a month with no response, I assume this is no longer a problem.

First you need to redownload the firmware. That is something that you can download straight from the manufacture. Then you want to unplug your mp3 player and go to settings. In the bottom of your settings it should have a option to restore to factory settings.

Music not synchronized

Try going to the actual file the music is in on your computer, then right click Send To sansa 250. If that doesn't work look on the options menu for USB mode and change it, that works on my 280.

Mp3 Player - sansa sandisk 2 GB

Unfortunately you are not going to be able to go online to sync your device...All music subscription such as napster and rhapsody require you to sync your device every single month using their actual software..The reason is to prevent customer from cancelling their music subscription..once you cancel your membership all the songs you have on your device will become useless.In another word, you are renting the music from the subscription company...

P.S.Please rate accordingly...
Thank You

Sansa says full but there is no files located....

You should format the device thru My Computer, rather than Windows Media Player.

FORMAT: My Computer>Device Name (m230)>Right Click and select format.

This will erase everything on the device and you can start anew.





Best of Luck.
