Connect the player to your computer and then reformat the player this is usually cause by corrupt songs in the device. If it the player is detected as a portabel device. Perform recovery mode onf the player then follow these steps. 1. Create a New Text Document in your desktop. 2. Open it and click on File then Save As 3. Change teh Save as Type All Files and the file name is sansa then save the file. 4. Now copy the file to the 16 MB drive which is located in your My Computer. ****** This will format the player and delete all the songs in your device. If it did not work update the firmware of the player.

You don't have to do anything. Just wait and let the Sansa refresh its database. It shows a progress bar to indicate progress.

(e260R) Refresh Database eternal loop

Turn it on into recovery mode (Hold + Record Button + Power)
Connect to computer (You should detect a 16MB drive)
Make an empty text file inside the 16MB Drive and rename it to "sansa.fmt"
Unplug the Sansa. You should see now a "Formatting..." on the Sansa's screen.
Sansa fixed!

Refresh database

Sansa e200 provides a RESET function for unresponsive units. Press and hold the MENU button for 15 seconds, and this should work to regain normal funtionality. Please note: settings and adjustments from the last operation WILL BE LOST. The files however should remain.

Refreshing database - Everytime

It's only reading the data on the micro sd, it just has to have that little time to do that, even if there is hardly anything on the sd, it still needs to check it out, just like it does with its own drive. Don't seat it, if you don't like it see if you can put the data onto the main drive of your sansa.
