Question about SanDisk Sansa m240 MP3 Player

1 Answer

Does not show songs that were previously synced

I got my Sansa 2GB couple of years back and used to sync it via computer running on windows XP. Everything seemed to run smoothly until couple of months ago when i added 2gb micro sd card. I tried to search for the old songs that i had uploaded to the sansa hard drive and it does not show on the any folders. I can however see the new songs that i have uploaded. i cannot delete the old songs as it does not show up on any folders; however it shows up on the MP3 while i play it.

Please help

    Hi coolguyrocks,
    thanks for the suggestion, i do have WMP v11. I have always set my sansa c250 USB mode on MSC ever since i got my new system with windows vista and yet it does not retrieve the old songs that i had uploaded. i even tried using my buddys system that has windows xp to see if i could retrieve those old songs from the sansa hard drive but it did not work. Still stuck with figuring out why i cannot view those old MP3 files.

    Thank You very much this worked out perfectly for me although i had to use my buddy's system that had windows XP, does not quite work the same way with windows vista once you get to step vi. None the less i managed to recover all the old files. Appreciate your help!! thanks a lot/\.

Hi,
1. Make sure you Windows Media Player 11 (Goto Help --> About WMP --> v??) 2. If you do not have it, install it from this location: http://www.microsoft.com/mediaplayer  3. Change the Mode on Device: Go into Menu --> Settings --> USB Mode:Auto Detect/MTP/MSC  4. Select MSC and it should work. If it does not try Powercycling your device (turn it off and then turn it on). 5. Try other modes as well.

    HI,


    Did you try removing the SD card and then connecting the device? I believe you are trying to view the tracks in My Computer. Did you try to view them in Windows Media Player?

How to delete songs
There's no way of directly deleting a song on the player. You need to do it either via Windows Explorer, or a music manager program which "syncs" to your player.

To delete a song via Windows Explorer, connect your Sansa to your PC, open up "My Computer" (or "Computer" if you're running Vista), and you should see your Sansa listed there. Double-click on it. If you then see "Internal Memory", double-click on that. You should then see a list of folders including "Music". Double-click on that, and you should see a list of songs. If you see a list of folders named after your Artists, double-click on the appropriate Artist folders to find the songs you want to delete. Select the song(s) and press "delete" on your keyboard.

If you use a music manager program such as Windows Media Player, Media Monkey or Winamp to sync music onto your Sansa, just delete the song from the music manager library or playlist(s) you're syncing to your Sansa, then do another sync.

How do I get the downloaded music from my computer into the clip?
You have 2 ways to transfer your songs from your computer to your sansa clip:
1. Plug sansa clip to computer, double click on "Sansa Clip ...GB", double click on "Internal Memory", you will see the file "Music", copy your songs and paste them into Music file of the device.
2. Using Windows Media Player: open windows media player, plug sansa clip into computer, click on Sync tab, select songs that you want to sync, drag and drop song selected into "Sync list" on the right side of the windows media player (you should update wmp11), then click on button Start Sync.

Good luck

Sansa Clip 2GB...WMP11 will recognize, but will not list in device pane in Sync mode...
Hah, figured it out! Had to roll back my version of WMP, which can simply be done by (in XP) going to Start > Control Panel > Add Remove Programs, and then click on WMP11 in the program list. Click remove, and it will ask if you want to roll back to the previous version of Windows. Click yes, and it will roll it back to the previous version of WMP11. Now, assuming you have an active internet connection, after you restart your computer, it will ask if you want to update your WMP. Click yes, and it will re-install the version you started out with, replacing drivers, .dlls, and anything you were missing before hand. Long story short, the solution was patching the holes in the program. I can now plug my Sansa Clip 2GB into the USB port, and WMP will recognize it right away (I can almost hear a small voice from inside my computer saying "would you like tea with that, mr. guy?" hah). I also found out you can have more than one media player connected at the same time! How cool is that? Great if you're trying to set up multiple players with the same playlists (promotional type stuff, business type stuff, etc.).

Cant download music
The songs need to be formatted for a sansa. Use Windows Media Player 11. Don't use Rhapsody, too many problems.
Load a CD into your computer, on the Toolbar of WMP11 click rip, After all songs are ripped, hook up your Sansa to the computer via USB cable, Click Sync. WMP11 will not only sync the sansa it will sync the micro card also. You have your choice where you want to put the music. Drag and drop the music in the box to the left where you synced your sansa and at the bottom of the box click Sync. All music will be synced to your sansa or card which ever one you chose. Understand, when the sansa starts up, the card syncs with the sansa, you don't have to do anything. Try this and let me know how it works.

Adding music to my sansa e250
you must use windows media player 10 or 11 to sync songs into the sansa. Make sure you sync it this way or else your songs will not go in properly.

Go to the knowledge base on the Sansa site and find this (chances are you have an SDHC card in an incompatible unit):
Sansa e200 - verify the version of the player.  To check, go to SETTINGS > INFO. 
              
For 01.xx.xx firmware (e200 version 1) - up to 2GB microSD cards 
For 03.xx.xx firmware (e200 version 2) - up to 16GB microSDHC cards 
NOTE: Firmware is not interchangeable. 

Sansa e200R - up to 2GB microSD cards

Sync to player and memory card without duplicates
I got this from:http://www.livedigitally.com/2005/06/27/sandisk-sansa-e130-the-micro-version-of-the-ipod-mini/ Create two playlists with names such as 1. SANSA Internal and 2. SANSA 2GB (assuming your SD card is 2gb). Load songs into each playlist. Edit the sync properties for each drive to only sycn to those playlists. Sync!

can't see files to delete them i have some audio MP3 files on my sansa m240. when I connect it to my computer to delete the files they don't show up. NOt even all of my music shows up but that's a different problem. Anyway, I've deleted audio before and I think I have to put it into a different mode but I can't remember how. Instead of MSC it has to be something else I think. I don't know, help. There are only a few files but I don't want to have to re-format my whole scandisk to get these off and they are taking up space.
