I can't lisen/play any music's at ALL..Please help

    I had the same bad track problems. After reading all the solutions with no success I investigated the ID3 tags that mp3 players use to classify mp3s.
    It turns out that the "bad track" mp3s had only ID3v2 tags (converted
    via itunes) while other good mp3s had ID3v1 or both. I added ID3v1 tags
    with ID3 Editor to the mp3 and they are fine. Newer firmware probably
    fixes this problem too.

    The cd player plays the same disc over and over, it does not move on to the next cd as it used to do, I think I have pushed the wrong button whichever one that is?

Solution # 2 helped me out.

I went to MSC mode and then instead of doing the error checking I right clicked on it and formated it. I couldn't do that in MTP. Try that, it worked for me.

You have a corrupt file - bad file...

Corrupt files for sansa -

Plug your player in, in MSC mode.

Right-click on it.

Click "properties"

Click "tools"

Click "Error Checking"

Check both the boxes on the error checking window that pops up, and click start.

After it finishes, check your player to make sure your player is normal.

If that don't work then format = http://www.sandisk.com/Retail/Default.as...

I do use iTunes with my sansa b/c it's convenient. None of my tracks would play until I converted them all to MPEG Layer 3 (Mp3). This seems to be my solution for now. Hope it works for you guys.

Go to the Sandisk website. After that, look up your mp3 player model. Hit Ctrl+F and look for firmware. Follow the instructions. It worked for me.
