From SanDisk web site "You should have it set to MTP when using it with any of the 3 supported subscription music servies. Otherwise, you should have it set to MSC, which is the normal USB mode for storage devices. MTP mode will only work on Windows XP or Windows 2000 with SP4 installed."

My computer will not recognize my Sansa sandisk MP3 player. I tried to reset it, and when I get the "Please connect USB" message, it still won't recognize it.
