Hi Swicky. "Refresh Database", from what I remember, is the message your player displays after you download songs to it or after you disconnect your player from a computer. You didn't mention if your player is actually stuck on that message, but if your player is, that would probably mean there was data corruption that occurred during a file transfer. You may to format the player to rid it of any corruption. Here's how: Try to format the player in your computer under MSC mode. To set your player to MSC, navigate the menu as follows: Menu > Settings > USB mode > ... This will give you the choice of "MTP" and "MSC". Select "MSC". 1. Plug your player to your computer. Your computer should recognize it as a "Removable Drive" and it will have a drive letter. 2. Right-click on the drive letter for your E250 and then select "Format" 3. When the Format window appears, make sure to select "FAT32" as the file system type and make sure that the "Quick Format" checkbox at the bottom section of that window remain un-checked. 4. Click "Start" and follow the on-screen prompts. 5. When the formatting is complete, simply re-download all songs to the player. I hope this works for you. There is another solution this may actually resolve that error you're having on the player. Let me know the results. :)

I saved music to my phone and it tells me no music saved

Hi,
When you open the music player in your phone please refresh the library in your music player, you will find the option to refresh your library in the options menu. If it doesn't help then you may need to install a new music player in your phone.
Please let me know the name of music player you are using and the type of music you have saved in your phone.
Hope it helps.
Thanks and Regards

The thing wont stop telling me to refresh the library

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.

You have to many songs a sansa e 250 only holds a certain amount of space so your best bet is to buy a memory card or delete songs so you can add new ones.

PLEASE HELP I CAN"T LIVE WITH OUT MY SANSA

"Please free 6MB for music DB" means that there is not enough MEMORY for the MUSIC DataBase. Therefore, you cannot see the music on your device.

To resolve this, you need to delete music until your device is less than 6MB of being full.

Generally 10 to 15 songs should do the trick.

Best of Luck,
