SanDisk Sansa e250 MP3 Player Logo

I can't listen to my SpiralFrog music!!!

I downloaded free music from SpiralFrog.com. they say that, in order to keep listenig to your music, you have to refresh your account with them every month and synchronize your player with the computer to renew the license on the music. i have onlny had these songs for 4 or 5 days, and already the player is saying "Synchronize to continue your subscription". i DID try and all i could do was get it to the Synchronize with music thing on WMP. and the songs wouldn't sync because the contract/license was bad.....HELP!?!?!?

That's the problem with DRM licensing. Do yourself a favor - only download mp3 format songs to the player, and you will never have this problem. If you want to use SpiralFrog, delete all songs that are on your mp3 player now, make sure your spiral frog sub allows transfer rights, and reload the songs.

SLY Electronics Model # sl314cm/Accessing music

It all depends on how you put it onto the player. Go to my computer, SLY, AUDIO, and then copy paste the music you want onto it. If you're downloading the musice off the internet from a place like spiralfrog.com it won't work because the music has no appropiate license.

I need to find out if there are free mp3 download sites other than spiralfrog. my music gets wiped off my mp3 occasionally and it gets very frustrating to go in and download again

If you want to download free MP3 songs, go to http://www.limewire .com and download the software 100% free. I'm sure you will be happy with the results.

My creative zen sleek won't play mp3's downloaded from spiralfrog.com

Apple and Microsoft have not given them permission to use the files on their device yet. Most music services use DRM-encryption now, but not all DRM-encryption methods are equal. Spiralfrog is allowed to operate because they seek the explicit permission of music companies, mp3 player providers, etc.

Downloaded Songs

read licenses carefully before you pay for any downloads

FROM SPIRALFROG FAQ's:

Please remember that our music files only play if you continue to renew your monthly membership at SpiralFrog. If you renew every 30 days, all the music you download from SpiralFrog is good to go – however, you need to sync your portable devices every month as well in order to update the licenses on the songs you’ve transferred so they’ll play as well.
