Donloading songs I have windows Media player, and it's worked really well before but whenever I want to download songs, I do all the things I gotta do: like ripping the songs and all that, but when I wanna sync them to my mp3, it tells me to plug in my mp3 player...which is already plugged in. Help, please.

I have this same player. To load a song w/o video, try plugging the player into your PC, open "My Computer" from the menu on your PC and then look for the player icon, and click on it to open. The player should have come w/software to do the same thing, but it only needs to be used for a video/song upload, or converting different formats to MP3 for the player (like FLV from YouTube).

i cont donload any songs

You may be looking at the library on your computer. In Centrale with the player connected, double click on the Mosaic player icon at the bottom of the list on the left of the screen. This brings up a contents list identical to that above(which is for the PC not the player)

Hi,

The problem is that iTunes songs only work with iPods. If you pay extra, they will now let you download them in a format compatible with other players but I don't recommend using iTunes (or anything from Apple for that matter). Try Amazon MP3. The songs downloaded from there will work with any player under the sun and they're generally cheaper than iTunes. Here is the link:

You can use either Rhapsody or Windows Media Player to sync the files to your device.

What format are the songs you're not able to hear? It's possible that the songs are not in a format the Sansa can play.

Also, you can navigate your Sansa like a removable drive. Try going to "My Computer" and looking to see what's actually on the drive.

You need to subscribe to an online music service or use Windows Media Player to download songs:

Unfortunately, the company did not fix this problem before they discontinued the player.

if you already have songs in your computer connect your mp3 player it will say open folder answer yes, then click on the corner to lower or move your window drag your song from your computer folder to that window usually e or f. to drag the song you need to click and hold down your left mouse button on your song and move it to your e folder then release button. another way is by click right button on song then choose copy from the list then go to your mp3 folder e and right click then paste.

Olivia, dear, please invest in a few lessons in capitalization, punctuation, spacing, and word separation. Chat-speak will be the death of the English language! Hold down the on/off switch and the volume switch at the same time. This will reset your device, but it will also erase all of your saved music.
