Sandisk sansa m250 MP3

try formatting it or updating the firmware

See http://www.fixya.com/support/t1061367-help_sanza_m250_see_song_files_even. If that's not the solution you need to better describe your problem.

Win XP does not need an addl driver - it should just plug and play; check Sansa's driver page as a precaution:

To solve the internal clock problem you can try to format the device using windows media player and if that doesnt work I would recommend you to go to the sandisk site to update the firmware on your device or you can contact sandisk to they can help you with updating the firmware on your device..Please follow the link below to get the firmware

Not Mac compatible largely.

ALL Mp3 players have a disclaimer telling you not to play it at max volume. Get adjustable headphones to resolve problem

use winamp to sync with his player or just about nay other.

download the sansa connect recovery tool

download the manual and it will tell you how to reset your mp3

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.

I am sorry to tell u but the sandisk sansa m250 model isn't suppose to hold podcasts of any kind. It is only suppose to play music, recordings and FM tuner.

Try doing a hard reset on a Sansa m250:

1. Turn off the Sansa. Just pull the battery out for a second and then reinstall the battery without pushing any further buttons.
2. Plug the Sansa into a computer, and open "My Documents" in the computer.
3. Open the Sansa file as if it were a drive, then go to the "MUSIC Specific storage" file.
4. Right click the "MUSIC Specific storage" file, and press "Format."

This should hard reset the Sansa m250. This solution has worked for me.

I do not know if this will work on other Sansa m200 type .mp3 players.
