I need to take songs off my bean mp3 player but I am not sure how to take the songs off. cant find my manual, can you help?

When you connect the MP3 player to the computer's USB port, the computer detects thia as an external storage device.
When you click on this and open the drive, you may see a music folder or mp3 music files. To delete the mp3 file you want remove, click on the mp3 file to highlight it and press the Delete key on you computer to remove the mp3 file.

I got a problem with my mp3

Hello,

Transfers onto the m240 can be done in 2 USB connection modes:
MTP mode: Media Transfer Protocol using software, e.g. Windows Media Player 10 or higher.
MSC mode: Mass Storage Class using Windows Explorer, looking in "My Computer" viewing the player as a removable disk.

Typically, songs put onto the player in MSC mode can not be viewed in MTP mode and the other way around.

Switching to MSC mode in the player's menu:
Look in the player under Settings Menus > USB > select MSC for using the "copy and paste" or "drag and drop" method for transfers in "My Computer".
When Auto Detect is selected, it depends on the configuration of the computer, what setup for priority has been installed.

Forcing the player into MSC mode:
1. Turn device OFF.
2. Facing the hold switch slide it to the right so an orange color would show putting the device on Hold.
3. Connect the device to the PC.

Information for the USB connection mode and how to make hidden files in XP and Vista visible, on the support site:

1. First, check your device setting up on MTP or MSC? Turn on device, go to "settings" , press down or up to find "USB Mode", you can see the check mark at MTP (auto detect) or MSC mode. Change to another usb mode.
2. You have 2 ways to delete songs:
2.1. Delete songs by device: play songs, press down (sub menu) until you meet "delete song", select it and yes
If you delete all items in device: Settings, Format, and yes
2.2. Delete songs by computer: plug device to computer, double click on device icon, Music folder, and delete songs you want. If you don't see songs in there, unplug the device from pc, and then change USB mode, and plug device to pc to delete.
Good luck

If you change USB protocols to MSC, it won't let you view the songs you put on using the Auto-Detect protocol, in my experience, and you can't switch back protocols. Reformatting by going into my computer, right clicking your sansa device, and then going to format seems to be the only way to get rid of these invisible songs, and you won't be able to select which ones. It gets rid of all of them, but at least they're gone.
