Why do the songs on my MP3 player not show up on my computer?

You could format your player and start over? Right click in C250/internal memory and format? Should bring you back to fresh player with no songs or pics.

The songs that you are trying to transfer must be in mp3 format.

Try this. Go to settings, reset all. connect to computer, when the popup displays, select view files. all should be there. I had the same problem today and that solution worked for me.

I have 1 g used and it wont let my load anymore and all the songs come up as A is my player dead
thanks

if you have windows media player, which i uses to drag and drops all my songs, go to the sansa player which appears on the left, click on it. It should show all your songs and mostly everything, right click on the mouse and it should show a list of which song you wants to delete. 

Try this...

Step 1: open up your sansa folder
Step 2: In your player folder click tools --> folder options --> View.
Step 3: Under hidden files and folders click 'show hidden files and folders, click ok.
Step 4: The folder would now show up.

It sounds like you have a music subscription with some music company...download a new song and transfer it to your device...that should solve the problems..if that doenst do it..format your device and tried to transfer song again..

Open "My computer", then "Sansa c250 (E:)", find properties to show hidden files and a "Music" file (which is hidden) will appear. You can erase music directly from there.

You can manually delete the music thru My Computer. My Computer>Device Name (c250)>Media>Music You can see all of the music by albums and delete what you want. Please add to this question if you need more assistance. Best of Luck.

solution step 1 connect the device to your computer and check whether the computer shows any data if it shows one then try to access the player through the step2 computer if you cant access the contents in the player then right click on the dirve icon and select tools and make a backup of the disk and save it to your system step 3 now use the bundled software with you too accsees the player if you can do it now then you can copy the contents to the hard disk if step 1 is negative then all of your data have been permanatly erased and so then nothing can be done
