Oopss formatted the whole thing

so what is the songs extension?...format it same with the song...maybe it doesnt support all codecs and only few are supported.

i formated my Apple iPod accidentally . Now its functioning like a mass storage device. It does't play songs (by itself), but it plays through Autorun when I connect it to the Computer...
Please send the respective driver/software if I require one. I cannot find the appropriate one in the internet

Reset All
NOTE: THIS IS AN ADVANCED OPERATION AND RESTORES ALL SETTINGS
TO THE FACTORY DEFAULTS. NORMAL USERS ARE NOT RECOMMENDED
TO PERFORM THIS OPERATION!
If your device freezes up press the Menu button and hold for 15 seconds.
This is like a power down of the device. Once you perform the reset, the adjustments you made during last operation
will be gone.....look and see if there is a boot file in one of the folder on the player. If there is delete this file....This file gets put on the player when booting your computer with the player connected.....Download Update (http://mp3support.sandisk.com/sansa/Installer/1082/SansaUpdaterInstall.exe)
I had to use my labtop to recognize 2.0usb port Go to my computer scroll to sansa or your MP3 player and open the music folder and open each sub folder and delete Songs manually then delete the folders them selfs then format a couple of times hope this works One of the cd's I put on my sansa had some file in it that made my tracks bad and was hard to delete follow above it worked

press a small paperclip into the reset button hole on the back of the mp3 unit the turn it on again

format the plaer again and use it..
format it from your system.. do a normal format.. not a quick format..

I have an easy and painless way to do this.

First open your mp3 player and go to settings. Under the USB menu change it to MSC. Then plug in the mp3 player to the computer. Open the My Computer on your desktop, right click on the Sansa mp3 player and click Format. Make sure Fat32 is checked and Quick format is UNchecked. Then format the mp3 player. After that it should be clean and work just like a USB drive.

Hope this helps.

The device has 2 modes of operation MSC and MTP.

If you put music or playlists on in either mode and then changed modes to add more music, you will inevitably have duplicated your music.

Best solution is to format the device to remove everything, then pick one mode ant use that one only.





Best of Luck.

You can format the memory card by going into the my computer folder on you computer! Or you can show the hidden files on you computer!

Try connecting the device to the computer and using it as a Mass Storage Device and formatting/deleting from there.

Try formatting it, that should fix, if its a hard drive player (by the title i think it is) then the hard drive might've gone bad, but you should still have a warentee, i think there one year
