Deleting songs on a Sansa

I have a Sansa Clip and when my friend was addint songs to her she never turned on, just plugged, transferred songs and then it disconnected. When I turned it on all my 353 songs were gone. Anyone know if I can recover them somehow or why this happened?

She was probably used Windows Media Player with "Automatically sync" turned on. It is one of the results of this setting.

    You have to ask Apple why the design has changed. You should still be able to delete songs by changing your selection of synchronization and synchronize.

    Or you can delete songs directly on your iPad and other iOS devices, directly in the music app or via settings > general > storage & use iCloud > storage management > music

  • Can't delete songs from the iPhone from iTunes 6

    iPhone iOS 6 9.3.2

    iTunes 12.4.1.6

    OSX 10.11.4 El Capitan

    I have manually manage music on my iPhone with iTunes.  I used to be able to select an album in iTunes and then drag it to the iPhone to add it to the iPhone.  The only way I can get the albums on my iPhone is now, right-click and select Add to the device.  Also, I used to be able to DELETE the songs off iPhone from iTunes.  Now when I select and right-click on several songs of the devices > iPhone > music section of iTunes, the only option I get is to add to the Playist...  I can't delete songs from my iPhone from iTunes.  Any ideas.  There must be a better way than the manual removal of the iPhone.

    When your iPhone is connected to iTunes, check the settings > music section to find something like this:

    You can check "Selected playlists, artists, albums, and genres" here instead of 'Library of music together' as I did.

    On the iPhone summary page, you can also check a box that says something like "only sync checked items" - or words to that effect.

  • Delete songs in smart playlists in itunes 12.4?

    In the previous version of Itunes, there is a delete option in the drop-down menu when I wanted to delete songs directly from my smart playlists. I know that there is a shortcut in the mac version, I was wondering if, instead of the menu option, there is a shortcut on Windows or a way to remove them? It's a huge pain to click around to delete.

    I use this on Windows 10.

    There are three ways to remove pieces of smart playlist:

    • change the criteria for membership for the playlist
    • change the metadata of the songs so that they are is more selected reading list
    • remove songs from your library

    This has not changed in 12.4.

  • How to delete songs in Windows Media Player 11 duplicate?

    How to delete songs in Windows Media Player 11 duplicate

    Hello

    Method 1:
    I would recommend you to rebuild the database of Windows Media Player and see if the problem is resolved.

    Here's how:
    To resolve this problem, delete the Windows Media Player database. To do this, follow these steps:
    1. exit Windows Media Player.
    2. click on start, run, type %LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\Media Player, and then click OK.
    3. Select all the files in the folder and then click on Delete on the file menu.
    Note: You don't have to remove the folders that are in this folder.
    4. restart Windows Media Player.
    Note: Windows Media Player automatically rebuilds the database.
    Method 2:
    If this does not resolve the problem, disable the Windows Media Player database cache files.

    To do this, follow these steps:
    1. exit Windows Media Player.
    2. click on start, run, type % LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft, and then click OK.
    3. Select the Media Player folder, and then click on Delete on the file menu.
    4. restart Windows Media Player.
    Method 3:
    When you move digital media files on your computer, the file name and file path information remain unchanged in your library. Then when you select a file to play to its new location, a new entry is created in your library if you select the option automatically added to your library when played. As a result, your library can quickly contain a large number of entries, duplicate or invalid.
    To prevent it be automatically added to your library of music files

    1. in Windows Media Player, on the Tools menu, click Options.

    2. on the Player tab, clear the files of music to add to the library when played check box.

    Now, when you play music on your computer or the Internet, the file will not be added automatically to your library.

    Method 4:
    In the case where the duplicates are not removed:
    There are also third-party applications to do the job. You can search your favorite search engine and download third-party software to remove the tracks in Windows Media Player 12 duplicate.
     
    DISCLAIMER

    Using third-party software, including hardware drivers can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the use of third-party software can be solved. Software using third party is at your own risk.

  • Please help me with how to delete songs

    I tried to read through messages and can't seem to find a way to do it. I'm not big on it like before I just used an ipod. I just got an e260 v1.  I have read and found out that I had to change my itunes in mp3 format I did.  Then, I downloaded Media Player 11 and got my songs on it.  Now I can't understand how to delete songs that I don't want the reader because I know that you can't do with v1. I tried to delete them in WMP and then synchronize, but they are still there.  Why is it so difficult! Any help with this simple (I hope) issue is greatly appreciated.

    Yes!  I did it.  I am so happy.  Thanks a lot for all the helpful tips in this forum.

  • How to delete songs that came on my Sansa Fuze?

    My Sansa Fuze came with 19 songs on what I want to delete but I don't know how.  When I plug in my Sansa Fuze in my computer the songs do not appear on my computer but they are on the device when I use it.  They are not in the 'Music' folder or any folder when I manage the device to my computer.  Can someone tell me how to remove these unwanted songs?

    If you don't have any other music/photos/videos etc.  on the "rocket", or you have copies that you are ready to transfer again, the best way to get rid of these songs is to format the "rocket" that erases all content (but does not change its integrated software). Settings from settings/system/Format.

    Or if you have a friend with a new Windows computer, you can see the songs and delete them yourself.

    Why can't you see these songs? It's a long story, but a bit simple.

    The "rocket" has two modes USB, MSC and MTP (Settings/System Settings/USB Mode). They have two different lines in the "rocket" and your computer can only read one at a time. (The "rocket" sees it bit any mode).

    The songs of the sample were transferred in MTP mode. But your computer connects via MSC - my favorite - mode so it cannot see them.

    MSC treats the "rocket" as a generic flash drive. You can drag and drop manually, or if you want you can use Winamp or Media Monkey to sync things.

    MTP allows the "rocket" be controlled - sync, etc. - by Windows Media Player 10 or higher. It allows also WMP transmit codes DRM (Digital Rights Muck) hidden-in-the-user for things like the songs protected against copying and audiobooks that expire. Probably not, you use those.

    The idea was to have the equivalent of iTunes/iPod of coordination for the majority of users - but also for the greater freedom and control of Maritime safety, if a user wants to change. No Windows, on Mac or Linux users, find yourself on MSC as well.  The only real requirement for MTP mode is for DRM files.

    On a computer that has Windows Meda Player 10 or higher, Auto Detect mode the "rocket of" (the third choice in Settings/System Settings/USB Mode) - which is what the "rocket" uses unless you changed it - connects in MTP mode and these songs will be visible and removable. That's why it would be simpler to use PC a friend Windows - Vista, Windows 7, etc.

    The original Windows XP comes with Windows Media Player 9 - a too old version for PSG. If you are running XP you could update WMP (via support.microsoft.com) to empty these songs. Then, you must return to the MSC (not Auto Detect) and do all what you did previously to transfer your music., you'll have all your visible songs by you.

  • Delete songs from e280

    Can someone help remove the songs from the device (as opposed to connect to the computer)?  I can't find an option 'Remove' on my player.

    You should have posted this in the map of the e200 series. The Commission Questions frequently asked and suggested Stickies is NOT the place for all messages from 1st time! We want to keep things ON-TOPIC as much as we can.

    Agreed, moved this thread to the FAQ and the Forum Stickies.  -µsansa

    Now to your problem... The REMOVE feature is available models of v2, v1 not. Here is a link to a post to explain the differences.

    Even if you do not have a v2, using embedded DELETION is OK to get rid of 1 or 2 songs, but if you want to delete an entire album (or several) for example, you're better to connect to your computer and delete them via Windows Explorer.

    If you have a v1 unit, connecting & using this method is your only option.
