I've had my player since June, and i've always use WMP to sync music files onto it. A couple days ago, i tried to add two new songs. It seemed to work, but then when i disconnected it and turned it on, it said "No Files."
So i reconnected to the PC, but the device wouldn't show up. It makes the device connection sound, but it doesn't show up under My Computer, the disconnect device icon doesn't show up, and WMP doesn't recognize that it's there.
So i unplugged it again, turned it on again, and now it gives me a message when it turns on:
"Not enough space for Music DB. Please Free 4MB"
It shows this message for a couple seconds, then goes to the playing screen, which still says "No Files."
So I can't reformat or delete anything, because it doesn't show up anymore on my PC. And I can't change any settings, because if i press the menu button, it displays the message again.
Re: "Not enough space for Music DB. Please Free 4MB"
We had that problem and sandisk had us use a file when we plugged it in to our computer to reformat it but I don't remember how exactly how to do it, seems like we connected it and chose a file -sorry

hello sir You Can Download Free MP3 From Youtube By This Site : video2mp3.net If you didn't found Your Favorite Music In Youtube Try These Sites : Beemp3.com or 4shared.com
When connected to your computer, go to your My Computer folder, and right click on your Mp3 player. You should see "Format Device". This wipes the entire thing. All music will be gone, but it might reset it.
Corrupt database - upgrade the firmware from www.sandisk.com
These are the most common methods for recovering Sandisk's Sansa Mp3
Players. I have been almost universally successful in recovering Sansa
players using one or a combination of these methods. These methods do
not work if you are having synchronization or music format issues -
they are for recovering a player that will not power up, freezes,
flashes, is not recognized by the computer, and a host of other issues.
Reset the Sansa Player first.On most models, restart is done by holding the power button in for 15 seconds or longer.Check your specific manual to be sure. The manuals are available from the Sansa website if they have been misplaced. Download the Sansa Recovery Tool from the Sansa website. Format - Erases Everything: Connect your Sansa player to the
computer and open Windows Media Player. Click on the Sync tab. Pull
down the drop down menu underneath the Sync tab by moving your cursor
over the Sync tab and left clicking on the little black arrow
underneath the Sync tab. Highlight "Sansa 1GB" (wording may vary
slightly), and then select "Format." - this should erase everything. Firmware Upgrade- Erases Everything: Get the latest firmware
upgrade from Sansa - it updates the firmware and erases every song in
the player all at once. Note: this method doesn't work if already have
the latest firmware. Go to this website and click "Firmware Updater" to
find out: http://www.sandisk.com/DriverDownload/driverList.asp If these fail, then: Try this: disconnect the player from the computer, turn it off,
hold in the volume + button, and reconnect the player to the computer
while holding the volume + button in. Keep holding the volume + button
for an additional 5-50 seconds. Windows should eventually go into
recovery mode and revive the player- it will pop up a window that says
Found New Hardware Wizard. If you get the problem where MTP Device keeps popping up continuously, uninstall the “MTP Device” by going to Start à Control Panel àSystem à Hardware à Device Manager (you computer may vary slightly, depending on Windows Version). You may have to restart your computer after each of these methods
to get them to work properly. Disconnect your Sansa player BEFORE
shutting down your computer. -Tha Mp3 Doctor
try formatting your device then try to put mp3 files on it. check if it works. on your my computer right click you mp3 device ( it is usually a removable storage) then select format.
Hi I am not an expert by any means, but when I had issues with my M250, I went to the Sansa site and downloaded the latest firmware onto the M250 and my problems disappeared.
Good luck
Hi
I have just bought a Sandisk Sansa M250, we loaded som music on it and it lasted 2 hours, then it the message came "Not enough space for music DB please free 8 MB". I couldnt even go in to the menu. I contakted Sandisk.com and 24 hours after they came up with an answer.
If it's currently frozen, hold down the power button for 20 seconds in order to soft reset it.
Let's try to format the player (THIS WILL ERASE ALL FILES FROM THE PLAYER). Plug it into your computer, then open My Computer, right-click the drive associated with the player, and choose Format. It may give you a choice of file system, if so, choose FAT (it may only let you choose FAT32, which is fine). Now click on Start and it should format the player.
If not already done, please also update the firmware from this link:

The 20 seconds on the power button didnt work, but the formation did.
Hope this helps.
