I have the same issue. Had some songs on it and one day the sansa e250r stopped playing them. Some still worked, while others did not. So, I reformatted the device. Confirmed no songs, videos or pictures were on the device by viewing it in the control panel. The device still showed the same amount of memory being used. Didn't think it was an issue until I tried to reload the songs to the device. It only allowed us to add 78 songs. The device says its full, but there are only 78 songs on it. No pictures or nothing else. Prior to the reformatting, I had 174 songs on it. PLEASE HELP!!

Go ahead and do this, in case the DB is corrupted:
Format - Erases Everything: Connect your Sansa player to the computer and open Windows Media Player. Click on the Sync tab. Pull down the drop down menu underneath the Sync tab by moving your cursor over the Sync tab and left clicking on the little black arrow underneath the Sync tab. Highlight "Sansa 1GB" (wording may vary slightly), and then select "Format." - this should erase everything.
Firmware Upgrade- Erases Everything: Get the latest firmware upgrade from Sansa - it updates the firmware and erases every song in the player all at once. Note: this method doesn't work if already have the latest firmware. Go to this website and click "Firmware Updater" to find out: http://www.sandisk.com/Retail/DriverDownloads.aspx

How do i get into the sansa when it says not enough space for db

It happened to me after I formatted my Sansa into a NTFS file system. This is how I solved it:
1) Connect your Sansa to the PC (if the player won't turn on try hold the middle-button while you're connecting it).
2) On My computer right-click the player and choose Format (make sure it's set to FAT32).
3) Now you can turn on your player normally - when you're inside the player menu choose Settings->Format. This will re-create all the player sub folders (music, audiobooks etc).

That's it...
Hope that work for you too... ^_^'

Not enough space for Music DB, please free 8 MB

The Sansa m250 requires a separate folder to load your songs to in order to achieve the full 2 GB. Set your USB to MSC. Plug it into your computer. Create a folder TUNES. Then drag and drop your mp3 or wma files to this new folder.
