• Sansa e260 not recognized by Windows Media Player in MSC mode

  Hello

  I have a problem. When I connect my Sansa e260 in my PC, Windows Media Player 12 will not recognize it. I can still see it in the computer, including the Micro SD card. When it's in MTP mode I can see it in WMP, but I don't see that micro SD. thing is I want to download some new songs on the Micro SD card that I can't see. I don't know if I can download songs on the player itself, because I don't have any space left there and I dare not remove anything where I won't be able to download stuff on him. I'm running on Windows 7. This problem occurred during the night. I change not all components, nor that I have installed all new programs. I also tried different USB ports, firmware reinstallation, trying even Rockbox.

  That's about all. Any idea is appreciated.

  Thank you.

  Set mode MSC, where the map stands as a separate disk. (MTP mode is for control via WMPlayer or Media Monkey).

  Hardware devices not detected or not working - Mr. Fixit
  http://support.Microsoft.com/GP/hardware_device_problems

  Make sure that Windows is updated appropriately that there have been several USB updates.

  1 check that the driver letters for them, for a player, if the drive of the default drive letter is changed, what is happening.
  Mine was h: I added a device that took H: and the player stopped. So I put it back to H: and the other
  device to J: and everything worked again. If necessary start - type in the area of research-> disk management find top
  -Right-click on it - RUN AS ADMIN

  Don't forget to remember the MP3 must be set to the PSG to sync with WMP, and meteorological service of Canada to copy and delete files
  and update the firmware.

  If no joy follow these steps:

  You may need a powered hub. (all the USB ports on your computer are not powered, often only 2)

  Try these:

  Make a Restore Point

  Control Panel - Device Manager - click in the empty area - VIEW - show hidden devices

  Here, your devices are the MP3 player.

  Now look everywhere EXCEPT the USB controllers for your devices (cannot be found) and if you find
  It RIGHT CLICK and UNINSTALL all.

  now go to the USB and UNINSTALL ALL controllers in the category, but the category itself.

  APPLY/OK

  RESET

  This refresh battery USB and hopefully it will allow the unit to install. (You may need a powered hub)

  Here is the similar procedure under XP, Vista is the same, except that we need clear specific devices, as appropriate.
  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/310575

  This is a utility to help you, but do 1 above.

  USBDeview is a small utility that lists all USB devices currently connected to your computer, as well as all USB devices that you previously used. Run Options and check the 1st three choices to see if one is there.

  http://www.NirSoft.NET/utils/usb_devices_view.html

  You must remove all instances of the devices and restart.

  -------------------------------------------------------------------

  If the above does not work (and it should be considered the preparatory work).

  This works for any MP3 player when the USB stack is not corrupted:

  1 player to delete and restart computer - switch to MTP mode on your MP3 player

  Regardless of what brand of MP3 you have

  1. check this Just In Case

• SD not recognized by Windows Media Player, but there are songs there!

  Hi there, this may be related to my previous post about the unknown artist (for which I didn't get any answer!) ).  Anyway, there is a new bug now.  I reconnected it to WMP, and it reads that I have an external SD (which I do), but says that he has no songs on it (which exists).  Earlier, in WMP, it registered the songs when I clicked on the SD card.  It the bed as having only 1 mb of space on the card, which would be fair.

  I can play some songs on the device that are on the card external sd (but those entitled 'unknown').  I'm so confused and it's quite frustrating and counterintuitive.  I'm going on a long trip in 2 days (of course!), and this is my first product Sansa.  I have NO IDEA what to do.  Help, please

  WMP is a curse! I find his oprtions synch counterintuitive and downright dangerous for the contents of your library or on the drive.

  That says Windows Explorer is located on the map? You can use it to drag & drop of the stuff to/from the player - for me, it works better than WMP for content management.

  Depending on whether your rocket is set to MTP or MSC in settings-> system-> USB Mode settings, the map will be either see the place as a directory under \My Computer\Sansa Fuze xGB or as a removable drive in its own right with its own drive letter.

  Note also that the files that put you on the memory internal rocket in MTP mode are not visible to the computer when it is connected in MSC mode & vice versa. You can see things on the card or mode, but the directory structure is slightly different in MTP mode.

  Do not use WAV format - there are problems with the "rocket" understand them. MP3 works fine & uses less space. If you want really audio not compressed, use FLAC.

• Coventing VOB to avi not playable on windows media player

  I have a HOME VIDEO (i.e. There is no license no questions here) I have a program that allows to convert VOB files to avi so that I can store the video on my computer, and then play using windows media player, etc...

  However, I can't get windows media player to read the file if I convert VOB to AVI using mpeg2.  This isn't a good option, but it works.   Other options for the avi settings include:
  INTEL IYUV codec
  Microsoft Video Codec I
  XviD codec MPEG-4

  With all this, when I try to run windows media player avi files which result gives me the following error:
  Windows Media Player cannot play the file. The player might not support the file type or does not support the codec used to compress the file.

  How can I get a high quality VOB to AVI conversion that will play in windows media player?  I need to find somewhere new codec?  If yes where?

  Brian Smith

  Welcome to the Microsoft Answers forum.

  Windows Media Player and. Read VOB

  Windows Media Player (and) Windows Media Center should be able to natively playback unencrypted. VOB files. As long as the whole structure is there you can point Windows Media Center in the folder root containing records audio and video TS. To display a local copy of your movie in Windows Media Center everything you need to do is Add the folder to the watch list. You can select and then ideally in your library or you can do the following to access the files using Windows Media Player.

  Opening. VOB in Windows Media Player:

  1 or you can right click the upper Video_TS. VOB and select Open.

  2. click Select a program from a list of installed programs, and then tap OK.

  3 uncheck always use the program selected for this file type.

  4. click on Windows Media Player, and the family film should start playing.

  If you still prefer to compress the files rather than using Windows Media Player or Media Center, you can see this technical document. This document describes the types of files supported in Windows Media Player.
