I keep trying to delete songs but they still appear on my device.

I have tried formating only to have the device tell me that it is unable to format. I really like the player but I am getting frustrated with the whole thing

Reformat it. 1. right click on my computer and select manage. 2. go to disk management on the left panel. 3. right click on the sansa icon, and go to format. 4. make sure that the file system is under FAT32. This worked for me, hope it does for you.

Try connecting the device to the computer and using it as a Mass Storage Device and formatting/deleting from there.

Delete

Actually you cannot delete them from your mp3. you gotta connect it via usb to your pc, go to programs - accesories - windows explorer, find the SanDisk in my computer, go to media, music and delete them from there.
Either under sync pane in windows media player it will show your music when it's connected. just click the plus signs for what song you need to get rid of, right click and click delete.
Hope this helps
If you still not able to delete it let me know so I can have you try something else...

Mp3 player not functioning

I have a mp3 player like this, and sometimes it take 2 or 3 formats to get it right. Also, try rebooting the computer. Many people leave their either on or in standby, and they need to be
rebooted once in a while to keep everything straight.

Hope this helps, and please rate my advice.
Thank you, and good luck!!

Expansion card

The issue with the card is not song format as you said it's the card format. When you put you're it into the CPU I?m assuming that you clicked yes on the warning/and or problem window and it formatted it to the CPU. So what you need to do is find what format the hardrive /and or internal memory is and format the card to that.
