I can not move any music onto my new 8gb sandisk. does the sandisk need to be formatted? If so, how do I do this? I spent hours yesterday trying to figure this out! useing Blackberry Pearl 8110 usb cable linked to computer.

Save the data already on the card, then format it.

right click then select format

another way

click on your usb drive select format

MP3 players can only play music and audio files in mp3 file format. You can download mp3 music files from the Internet toyour computer and then copy them to your MP3 player. For your CD collection, you need to convert your CDs tomp3 music files onto your computer or download them from the Internet and thencopy them to your MP3 player after you have connected the USB cable tothe MP3 player and the computer.
You can do this using Windows Media player and Rip the CDs - Media Player willcreate a MP3 music file for each music track. Click on this link for instruction on converting musicfiles to mp3 file format :- http://www.fixya.com/support/r5798418-creating_transferring_mp3_music_files

format it na update firm ware (download firm ware from sandisk sit

If it is still under warranty, take it back and get it replaced!!!!!!!!!

have you tried using windows media player? it is pretty easy to manage music from there.

You need to use the Sansa Media Converter to convert videos (and photos) to a format the Sansa can handle.

check the owners manual for the stereo and see what file system format you need to use on the flash drive i know i had the same problem when i changed radios worked on my old one but plugged into the new stereo wouldnt load had to unload the music and reformat the flash drive and then reload the music onto it that took care of the problem. where you have tried two different usb drives would say not likely you have bad drives

when you turn on your ipod can you hear any songs?

If you have more than one USB port try another port. If not try downloading Yahoo! Music Jukebox.
