Question about SanDisk Sansa e250 MP3 Player

Will turn on and go turn song but once you hit a button it freezes.

My mp3 player turns on and does all the startup stuff and then goes into the music like it normally would, but then once you hit play it freezes. Hold is off, it won't play music, and you can't turn it off. I had this problem about a week ago and I figured it was a one-time thing so I brought it back and used my warranty to get a new one. It happened again on the new one and I don't feel like having to get a new mp3 player every week. P.S- Both times this occurred it was plugged into a speaker system that is made for any product, so I don't think that's the problem but I just thought you should know. Thanks

Hello format your player to remove any corrupt or bad files in your player. Then after that make sure you are using the latest firmware which is .18A and also make sure that the speaker system you are using is compatible with the device or made for sansa accessories, ensuring you that the device will properly work on it. If not it may work but it will may harm your device and voiding the warranty of it.

How to Fix Your RCA Pearl TH1602 MP3 Player from Freezing at Startup

Does your RCA Pearl TH1062 MP3 player freeze on startup at the Pearl logo?

Whenever your player acts up, the best solution is to reflash/upgrade the firmware.

Download the firmware upgrade from http://voxrightnow.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/2243/related/1, and follow all the troubleshooting instructions that popup when you start the program:

start the program,
remove the battery,
hold the play button while plugging the RCA player into your computer's usb port,
release the play button when the term "initalizing" replaces "searching",
check the box that says "format data" (you can try it first without this checked, it may work and will save your music),
click the start button to replace the firmware.

This solution will fix your player.
I hope that helps.

How to put songs in this gogear mp3 player?

Open Windows Media Player. Hit the "Rip" tab at the top and put in the CD(s) you want to record. You can put in as many as you have hard disk space for. Each one takes 3-5 minutes to "Rip". When you are through, you will need to plug in your player via the included usb cable. Let the computer "find" it. Then, you will go back to Media Player and hit the "Sync" tab at the top. When it comes up you will see a list of the all music you recorded. You can drag and drop music from the center column to the right column under where your device is listed. If you drag whole albums, whole albums will be transferred. Once you are done, hit the "sync" button at the bottom right and wait for the fireworks to end. The "syncing" process goes very quickly. Now play music!

Distinct clicking, right? Your hard drive is about to crash completely. Other than the ticking, your problems are probably because the hard drive is not giving out the information it needs to because it can't. You need either a new Hard drive or a new player. once you get it all of you problems should go away.

Frozen screen on my phillips mp3 player

You need to get the latest firmware upgrade from the Philips website:
1. Go to www.philips.com/support
2. Enter your country/language
3. Enter your model # SA6045 or whatever
4. Click on the link for your exact model # (the one w/o the "B" in it)
5. Click on "Software & Drivers"
6. Download the updated "Device/Firmware Manager"
7. Once installed, open the Philips Device Manager
8. Click on the "Update" tab, then the "Update" button (with your mp3 player connected to the computer, of course)
9. Your Mp3 players firmware will update automatically

If you do not have the latest version of the Philips Device Manager installed (the latest is the version from the Philips website), then clicking the "Update" button will give you a false positive saying "The firmware on your device is already up to date."

My songs are shuffled

Since you cannot see what you are doing on the screen, I will tell you what buttons to push to un-shuffle your songs. Press the buttons in the exact order I tell you. Ok. Turn off the mp3 player, then turn it back on. Press the little menu button. Push the left arrow button once. Press the play button 3 times slowly. You are now in the menu that gives you the following options to unshuffle your music:
1. Off
2. Repeat single Track
3. Shuffle/No Repeat
4. Repeat all Tracks
5. Repeat all With Shuffle

I'm guessing that you may have to push the down arrow once or the up arrow once. This should select the Repeat all Tracks option. After scrolling up or down one time, press the play button once, then the menu button twice. Now push play to start your music. If this does not work, you can set your player back to the default settings by pushing the menu button once, pushing left arrow once, hit the play button. Scroll down 5 times, hit the play button, and push down 3 times. Be careful, because if you do not push the down arrow THREE times, you might accidentally select the option of erasing the memory.Once you push down 3 times and hit the play button, push down once more to select Yes of reseting your player back to it's original settings. This should help you out.
