Re: How do I stop my player from refreshing everythime I...
The only way to stop that is to remove the microSD card. The machine has no way of knowing whether you changed cards while it was turned off, and thus has to refresh the database to know what is on it.

If you try to load too many songs onto the player initially, it may take up to an hour to get past Refresh database. Unfortunately, if you shut the player off while it is refreshing, it will more than likely ruin your player. Run the Sansa Recovery Tool or Update the Firmware on your Player as a workaround. Make sure the hold/lock switch isn't activated, just as a safeguard.
Depends on the model # and manufacturer of your mp3 player. Some players do not recognize DRM-encrypted music files. I would re-download the songs in mp3 format only.
Used the Firmware Updater to get the latest firmware and this updated my Sansa E260 player which was in Recovery mode. The player then completed the refresh database process. No data was lost. The player is now functiining correctly.]
Try updating the firmware of your player. Switch the player to recovery mode (enable hold switch and press and hold the record and power button until you see on the screen welcome to recovery mode) download the sansa firmware updater on the sandisk website and install it to your computer. When it ask to connect the device connect the player and check if there are updates on the player. Also try to format the player it may be the songs on the player is causing the problem.
Hi tt,
First, I would delete all the files in your Sansa>Music folder - you may have a corrupt or un-recognizable file that is stalling your "refresh". Check and see if your player refreshes correctly - if it does, update the firmware (see below).
If this doesn't stop the problem, you may have to format your player - Windows Explorer>right click on Sansa Player>Format>make sure it is FAT32 and unclick "quick format">Start. You will lose all files that you have not backed up - but your player should start up correctly.
Then, make sure that you have the latest firmware update - here is the place to get the updater:
http://www.sandisk.com/Retail/Default.aspx?CatID=1376
- instructions are on the site.
After the update, add the files again and see if the unit refreshes - if it does not - it's probably a bad file. The only thing you can do is to add the files singly (or in small batches) until you find the problem file - I hope that you do not need to go this far!
Sandisk has fixed most of the software problems that folks encountered in the last six months - IF you keep you keep up with the firmware upgrades.
BTW - I have had my Sansa e250 for two months and have had zero problems - I LOVE it!
Hope this helps,
Steve
