Can put almost any new music on

I have a Sansa e280, and I have the latest firmware on it. I even used the update firmware, and all he found was the Sansa Media Converter, I already had. I got about 500 - something songs on it and no matter how much or what kind of songs I've tried to, as only 10 more would go. I put on 253 more, and she had that 51 more songs that had it before. I even opened the MUSIC folder and it showed more than 800 songs. I had still more than 3 GB left, so this isn't a memory problem. I could only put songs in MSC mode, because I can't connect it to the MTP more. When I connect it, my laptop gives low 3 short beeps and does nothing else for the laptop or drive.  He just said 'Connected' on the drive and doesn't show anything on my laptop. Its really annoying, because I pay for the songs, and I can only listen to them when at home with my laptop. I took all the songs out of the MUSIC folder and put them all back on my laptop, then I formatted the drive. I was going to try to sync them back on with Windows Media Player tomorrow. But I doubt that it will work, because I tried it before and nothing happened. Any help anyone? I've tried everything I can think of and it starts to really piss me off.

The trick with any problem must be methodical, lest he miss the cause of a problem.

If there are files on the Sansa that DO NOT display in the navigation menus, there is a problem with their ID3 tags.  If the files are MP3 or WMA, the Sansa will look on them, but may not be able to index properly.

Where the files were extracted from?  If they were stolen in a CD, and the Internet connection was not active during the extraction process (transcript), the tags will be empty, and cannot index the Sansa.  There the files listed as 'unknown' in the menus?

Download MP3Tagor use Windows Media Player advanced tag editor to edit the tag information.  Set tags to write to ID3v2.3 ISO 8859-1 format, as the Sansa like it the best.

With Windows Media Player open, right-click on the album or track, and the advanced Edtitor Tag will be available:

I found a cool description of the tag of Advanced WiMP editor here at About.com.

It is best to remove the troublesome files to the Sansa and retransfer repair PC files.

If you download MP3Tag via the link above, you will find that this application is more powerful than the editor of chicken, because it allows more control over the embedded album art and ID3 tags.  I use both methods, because for a quick change, the editor of WiMP is just a click.

Sometimes, the music database file can get damaged.  If this is the case, you can force the Sansa to build a new database from scratch by connecting in MSC mode and delete the mtable.sys file in the directory root, in the case of a device of v2, or the DATA folder in the SYSTEM folder v1 devices.  In both cases, the Sansa will rebuild required files to disconnect from the USB port.

Oh and to quote Columbo (Peter Falk, for those who have not grown up with the LP record), "Oh and another thing...". »

There is mention separate from the issue of the transfer of the PSG.  If the files have been transferred in MTP mode, and you look now at the Sansa msc, these files transferred to the PSG will be not visible.  This is how Microsoft has designed, with a virtual "wall" between the modes.  The Sansa can see files in both modes, but on the side of the PC of the equation is different.

If the Sansa does not appear in MTP mode, it has to be fixed at the end of the PC.
