SanDisk Sansa m230 MP3 Player Logo

Problem with drag and drop

I can no longer drag and drop mp3 files from a folder on my computer into the sansa m230. It has worked in the past but now I get the message "Error Copying File - Cannot copy *.mp3: The device has either stopped responding or has been disconnected.". It may be worth mentioning that it is possible to transfer files using Windows Media Player. I have tried rebooting and using different usb ports with no success. Any help would be most appreciated.

(FOUND THIS SOLOUTION ON AFTERDAWN.COM) The problem is that this player have 2 standards for connecting to PC. One is MSC and other is MTP. Each one have different directories structure. If you put music when your player is connected as MSC, when you will conect as MTP you'll be not able to see the files uploaded previous. The same case is available when you write music files as MTP=> you can't see these files in MSC mode. So, set USB mode of your Sansa as MCS, power off, put hold switch to lock and connect to PC. You will see 3 directories: Audible, Records and Config (or something like that). See if your "invisible" music files are here. If they aren't connect as MTP. To connect as MTP: set USB mode to auto, shut down Sansa mp3 player, put hold switch to unlock and connect to PC. You will see only 2 directories now. Media and "something" (I can't remember now). Look for your "invisible" files and do what you want. MTP mode is for use with newer PC's. I advice you to use MCS mode all the time because is compatible with any PC (old or new). Good luck!
