Also when I clicked on that music folder, (the mysterious one inside the music folder) it went all weird. sorry best way I can explain it. please help.
hello , thanks for responding, I'm not sure about the format command, and what OS is, I bought this device refurbished, from a store called Factory Direct in Toronto, so I didn't get any cds or anything with it, I'm learning as I go ,
I was told to download software (I think its called) from the internet, if that has anythign to do with this problem.
By format do you mean MSC or MTP in the USB mode options?

You will have to download the software from the manufactures web site and in that software there will be a command to format the mp3 player. This should fix your problem. Sounds to me like the memory has gotten messed up and by formating that should take care of it.

I don't have a solution -- but I have the same problem and this is the first I've found mention of someone else having it. I'm Mac OS 10.6.5. I thought I could go through and just delete the second copies of everything, but I can't figure out how to do that either. They don't show up when it's plugged into the computer. And as far as I can tell, you have to be playing a song in order to delete it, and it can't play things in the wrong format. Beating my head against the wall and starting to look at buying something else... In case you found a solution elsewhere, please let me know!
Open itunes up go to the folder that the song is located under then delete the song plug your ipod into the computer and itunes should automatically delete it off your ipod for you.
Delete songs and Format (Helps with try to delete BAD TRACKS and folders that will not delete(Some ripped CD folders)..

Try and drag and drop from your music folder to the media folder on the player make sure usb mode is msc this will show you all the folders Use your windows explorer for the transfer... much easier...If you don't have copies of your music copy to a folder on the computer first
Your DB might be corrupt. Folow the delete procedure one more time:
Delete Music Files
1) Connect your Sansa to the computer.
2) Select Open device to view files using Windows Explorer on initial
connection.
3) Select the place where you want to delete music files from
4) Highlight and delete the music file/s or folder from My Computer\Sansa
e200\...\MUSIC folder. (You can also select from a variety of music
software programs to transfer/synchronize your files).
If that fails, go ahead and update the firmware - it will delete everything, and allow you to start over from scratch among other things.
The bad track error just means you need to reformat the player, the database got corrupted somehow, no worrys, just reformat and reload, you should be good to go.
Well you can go to the music folder for you mp3 player (just go to my computer and click on the sansa thing) and then delete off the songs that don't work and add them again.
Have you tried updating the firmware. Even if it is the lastest edition, download the firmware manually and run the software.
Then format in Windows Media player.
Best Regards
Keith
