E260 v1 or v2?

Had a worm e260 2 for several years with no problems.  I want to take another but cannot find players of version 1.  Advantages and disadvantages please.

Thank you

Joe

The biggest difference is that the v2 are supported SDHC memory card format, which means that you can use to the maximum size of 32GB. The v1 support only SD, which is only up to 2 GB, unless you use 3rd - party Rockbox firmware.

Some say that sounds a little better v2 also, but it could be questionable. I would say that you would be lucky enough to find one of them these days, as they have ceased to exist for a few years now. Certainly, it will be virtually impossible to find a new one; most likely what you will find are re-furbs.

  • Autonomy of the E260 v1

    A new Member here. I bought

    I bought an e260 several years ago and almost never used. He had been sitting in stock for at least 6 years and maybe more. I came across it yesterday while searching for something else and decided to see if it still worked. To my surprise, he had some battery charge. I loaded, an update of the firmware and played the tuner for the last 4 hours at max volume almost full-size headphones AKG sitting on my desk just to see how long last battery... The battery meter is barely passed. I am very surprised by this because I've never owned anything where a battery was as good as what is in this sansa.

    With regular use, nobody knows what battery's longevity and can it be replaced when it goes wrong?

    Use "Regular" is too subjective a term, but yes, the player has a battery replaceable by the user. Problem is finding one for this old of a player.

  • I have a Sansa e260 - but which version?

    How can I find out what version of Sansa e260 I?  I need to crack the case?

    In the lower right corner of the back, it says "model: e260 ' without reference to any version - so is this R1?

    Thank you for watching this...

    Go to settings > Info. If the top line (firmware version) starts with V01. XX. XX you have a v1 model. If it starts with V03. XX. XX you have a v2.

  • Computer does not recognize my Sansa e260

    I run Windows 7 Home Premium. My MP3 player is a Sandisk Sansa e260.

    Normally, to charge the Sansa, I've just plug it into a USB port on the computer. It is immediately recognized and loading begins.

    Today, while I was out walking the dog, the Sansa ran out of juice. So when I got home I plugged the computer in the usual way. The computer does not know that it existed. It didn't start to load, it does not appear as a drive in Windows Explorer.

    I rebooted the computer with the trendy Sansa. No improvement. I ran "Find the hardware changes" on the USB entry in Device Manager. No change.

    I tried the Sansa in computer from Vista to my wife (who also accused there from time to time). Same result - the computer does not recognize the Sansa.

    Any ideas, please?

    Try performing a reset before you plug it into your computer to charge. There may be just enough juice left for this. You can usually squeeze a few more drops of a flat (any type) battery by heating slightly he. Maybe put it in your Pocket next to your body under a sweater for a while, or take it to bed with you. Your body heat to warm up gently.

    Now that old hat so to speak, press and hold the market/menu button while you count to 20. You can do it silently so the people around you do not think you have freaked out. OK, now, release the button and after a few seconds, press again to see if it boots up on its own. If so, place the cable of life support (Sansa) to quick before he dies again.

  • E260 Firmware update problems

    I have a Sansa E260 with a possible screen failure. But before I'm six deep, I want to try and reinstall the firmware. Two questions. The first is what version should I? I thought that it was a version of R, but gives the version.txt and version.sdk both show

    01.02.24A, so I guess it isn't a version a: second issue is how to get the unit in mode msc, without any orientation of the screen. I'm guessing that I'm not in msc mode. When I look in the windows directory, there is a subdirectory labeled PPI NAND. If I try to drag the .mi4 file or the ROM file to the root, I get a message that the file is not supported. And then a second pop up message indicates he's trying to copy in the subdirectory rather than the root (the copy does not place).

    Any help would be appreciated.

    Found the solution to force the msc mode. See http://kb.sandisk.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/197. The root files accepted and appeared the updated firmware (ie the files were no longer in the root with an eye after completion.) Unfortunately, the screen still has random pixels so the failure seems to be material.

  • clock E260 problem

    quick question for you people in the forum wonderful sandisk.

    I have an old e260 who sat unused for about 4 1/2 years.  The thing still works like a champ, but the clock is super fast. I set the clock and hours later, it is about 20 to 30 minutes fast. What is the problem here? Can it be fixed?  I would like some info.

    Thank you

    I have one that is the same way. No, it can't be fixed or adjusted.

  • Sana e260 will not appear.

    Hello

    Like many here I formatted my Sansa e260 and quite accidentally in NTFS. When I am home, I tried to put music, after safely removing the device the player gave me 'not enough space for music DB. "Please free 6 mb ' message. I know that I have to format it in FAT - 32 again and I'll have to put the firmware in there, but when I connected to my computer once again, he refused to appear.

    I've set it to both of the MTP and MSC and tried both ways, when PSG is on the "player is to not install correctly" and MSC does not give me a boo anything. In short it will not be displayed at all ever now under 'my computer', while if I check in Manager and find the device, it is connected. but a 0 space at all on this subject. as if it isn't actually a to all removable storage device.

    I wonder how I'll reformat and bring the thing back to life. Is this possible or am I just wasting my time and now have to buy a new player?

    I don't know which, where information would be found on the drive? The 'version' on the news of the player (because it works a little longer) bed "Version 01.02.18A" the player was bought in 2008, according to me, if that's any help.

    This confirms that you have a model/version v1.

    See this post on the use of the Mode of recovery and create the file "sansa.fmt". I hope it will work for you.

  • E260 problem

    Hello guys!

    SRY when I didn't want a similar position. I'm starting a new

    My sansa e260 had a lot of problems the last few months. those with the firemware I could fix myself. But now I'm confused.

    Thank you for helping me allthough

  • Sansa e260 MSC mode does not show my files

    I never have problems with my player sansa until today. I just updated the firmware and now MSC mode does not work correctly. None of my files on the Sansa e260 player appear, do just the default values. However, everything is there when I go through my sansa player, but he does not appear in the player. No clue as to how I can solve this problem, so that the files that I have in my sansa player appear in the disc again? Any help is appreciated, thanks!

    The music on the e200 series folder is "hidden". Maybe that is. Change the settings in Windows to "show the hidden files and folders" and see if that helps.

  • Sansa e260 deleted my music files

    I deleted my file containing all my music. The music is always on the piece. I can play and there is no problem with my drive, but I can't see the music files, once I have plug into my PC. I just drag-and - déposer edit my songs. can it be fixed?

    Is the 4G 2 = e260

    Well, if you have deleted the music folder, why you expect to see the files?

    Try changing the USB Mode in the settings. There are 3 modes, PSG, MSC and Auto. Do not use Auto. Manually select the MTP or MSC. Search for your files. So always invisible, switch to the other mode, they should be visible now. Your computer can only see the files when you are connected in the same mode in which they were transferred in, not the other.

    Another little thing... on the e200, the music folder series (and others) are "hidden". You must set Windows to "Show the hidden files and folders" to see them.

  • E260 keeps restarting, firmware update does not help

    Hey everybody

    So I'm trying to fix my Sansa e260 friends and I'll get in trouble. When you turn it on, it just continuously restarts itself, I've included a video of what he does. http://Tinypic.com/r/2wq78jp/6

    I have already searched through this forum and tried the firmware update, after the update exactly the same thing just keep to themselves. I don't know where to go from here, any help would be appreciated. Thank you!

    Formatting the device using the Recovery Mode.  This erases all the materials for the device, but it's locked up in any case.

    For this procedure, first of all we have this word from our sponsor:

    In Recovery Mode, do not USE NOT THE COMMAND FORMAT WINDOWS ON THE PARTITION RESERVED.  Use the trick of ONLY sansa.fmt folder!

    Well, here are the steps (features of version 1 only):

    • Start with your OFF e200.
    • Slide the HOLD switch to the right (orange list).
    • Open a Windows Explorer on your PC.  Use my computer or [Windows key] + E.
    • Press and hold the REC button on your e200 while plugging in the USB cable.
    • The Sansa will specify "Welcome to Recovery Mode, type MSD."
    • On the PC, you will see a new device labeled 16 MB FORMAT.
    • Double-click this icon to open the reserved partition.  Yet once, DO NOT format using the available Windows command!
    • Right-click in this partition and select new folder.
    • Rename it sansa.fmt folder and you're ready!
    • With the help of remove it safely function (icon at the bottom of your screen in the taskbar), eject the Sansa.
    • Slide the HOLD switch to the left.
    • Try turning your restored e200 once she gets in shape automatically.

    Let us know how it goes!

  • E260 v2 won't start - necessary recovery mode

    My e260 v2 won't start.  After the logo screen, it says not "enough space for music DB.  Please free 90 MB' and stops quickly.  When I connect it to the computer, the computer recognizes it, but it does not appear in the Explorer.  Indeed, the Explorer crashes if the Sansa is connected.  Windows Media Player does not recognize it no more.

    After reading this forum and other sources online, I thought that the solution to my problem was to go into recovery mode and reformatting.  However, it will not be in recovery mode.  After reading a bit more, I learned that models v2 is not recovery mode, but I have not found anyone mention what to do instead.  So, how can I reset my Sansa to the factory settings?

    The "not enough space" error is most often related to a file corruption.  You will need to manually connect in MSC mode.  Step 1 of the solution includes details on that for you.

    Voila!  It's pretty simple.

  • 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).

    Albums of drag - move around the map.

  • M3u playlists appearing is not on e260

    Hi people,

    I know this question has probably been answered, but I tried searching and have not been able to find an answer.

    I have a Sansa e260 4 GB.

    I sync music on the drive using Winamp in the MUSIC folder and the play list m3u resulting in the folder selections. Through windows Explorer, I can see the playlists on the disc.

    However, when I disconnect the player and the player goes through the process of updating database, all I see is the playlist default 'Go '. My new playlists do not appear on the drive at all! The music is there in the music folder.

    I tried saving them as a playlist PLS, I tried to M3U playlists in the music folder, I tried to change playlists so that it does not contain the bar oblique leader etc, but nothing works, just playlists refuse is displayed in the player.

    It took me a long time to get the music synchronized using Winamp (I tried itunes agent, motorola media link, etc.), but this company playlist completely beat me.

    Someone please help!

    Thanks, I'll try it.

    In the meantime, I found this post http://www.anythingbutipod.com/forum/showthread.php?t=17045 and used the PLAme program mentioned in it and has been able to create playlists of pla of the music that was on the Sansa.

    So, for someone else who happen to come across this post, here's what I did:

    Portable function 1) used Winamp to sync music on the microSD 4 GB drive, and 2 GB. Winamp has been used only for its synchronization function. Import you music and playlists from iTunes. I placed the music F:\Music and G:\Music, where F = 4 and G = 2 GB disks on my computer.

    (2) once the synchronization has been made, I used the program of PLAme to create playlists PLA and placed them in F:\Playlists.

  • Sansa e260 abruptly stopped, recognized by the computer

    Hello

    I was humming happily with my e260 sansa for over a year.  Suddenly the device is no longer recognized by my computer.  It cannot find the driver.  I've read many, much-related posts here by people with the same problem, and it is unclear what is the solution.  I tried to update the firmware, and it says that it has no recognizable feature.  I tried to look on the problem of the PSG, but I can't find the USB settings (Windows Vista is sometimes so little intuitive).  I checked my WMP version, and I don't think that can be the problem because I have a latest version.  I tried to read a few pages of FAQS posted, but all links were broken.

    Can someone help me?  I just bought one for my mp3 player speaker system, so I'm looking forward to having to buy a new one.

    My boyfriend hit the cord and magically the appliance starts to work again.  After two months.  I say I learned something from that power.  Thank you for your help.
