Mp3 in as "unknown". Won't play

I have been converting my CDs to mp3. They play fine on my computer and other media but come up as unknown on my Sandisk. When I bring the player up on my computer, all albums are listed but not on the Sandisk. Although I see numerous "unknowns" on the Sandisk, it will only play one song, the same song every time and then go back to my genre's.

I appreciate the try but I already have a converter program. My problem is that when I connect the mp3 player to my computer, I can see the songs on my mp3 player but I cannot see them on it as a 'stand alone'. These are all mp3 files.

Download Switch by searching for it on google...then you can change the formats of your songs to anything you like and you can change how big the file gets converted to!!!

you can make them pretty small and then you can fit about 2,000 songs on a 2 GB!

hope this helps!

don't worry Switch does not give you spyware Mp3 in as or viruses.. I checked! :]

this will "clean up" the files you want to put on your sansa...

it really works!! AND ITS FREEEEEE
