E280 and Fuze

• E280 and Micro SD cards

  I use first of all the MS Media Player to extract the music from the music CD I want to listen to my MP3 player, which is be an E280 and so far it's all gone on the internal memory.  Until now, until this point, I didn't what the acceptable size was for my player to card format Micro SD and I have now come to realize that it makes a difference on the firmware you have, well.  Now, I would like to know how, step by step to start to put the music files on cards Micro SD as opposed to memory internal please?  Thank you.

  Not knowing which version of the player, you have (v1 or v2), I'll tell you a procedure that works for both.

  Put your player in MSC mode (settings > USB Mode). Connect your player. Windows Explorer (sometimes called the workstation) should open (or at least ask to) a glazing to aid memory of your card in it. If you want to create a folder of MUSIC here, as on the internal memory, it's OK.

  Now open another Explorer with your MY MUSIC folder (on your computer) that it contains. Navigate to the folder of the artist, that you want to transfer; Click on & drag the other part with the MUSIC folder on your card and drop it right (release the mouse button) on the top of this file. Fact.

  Do foam, rinse & repeat.

  This (make drag & drop mode MSC) is the only way to add music to a card in a reader from v1, but you can 'sync' (if you must) to PSG and Windows Media Player with a v2 model. I find drag & drop just as easy (or easier) and no problem with WMP control.

• New: Audiobooks and ID3 and Fuze

  Hello

  I want to use the "rocket" listen to audio books. I heard Sansa players are very good for this aproach. Now I have tagged all my audio books with ID3 tags, but the player don't always play them in the right order.

  The directory structure is

  "NameOfAuthor_NameOfBook/CD_x/NameOfTitle.

  and the ID3 tags are now containing:

  Author: NameOfAuthor

  Album: NameOfBook

  Title: "NameOfTitle".

  Nr: #/ #s on this disc (!)

  CD: x

  I don't know how the "rocket" uses this information to get them in the order. On some audio books, it works perfectly fine, on others he plays CD 1 - track 1, track 2 CD - track 1, 3 CD - 1, CD 1 - beach 2...

  How to solve this problem? I don't really want a new label on each other - if there is no other chance to operate. And there must be - or why some books work?

  Thank you for your patience :-)

  Ciao, Matthias

  Yes the new firmware resolves this problem.  The only drawback is your player must be in MSC mode or the content must be on the external card.

  DPW does not support the Discnumber, so the internal volume in the MTP does not recognize this tag.

  Content of external card labels are fully analyzed the update of the database so we can extract discnumber info in this case, even in MTP mode.

• E280 accessories for Fuze?

  Anyone know if I can use my Sansa e280 accessories for a Sansa Fuze?

  I have a radio that allows just to plug the e280 and it load and play through it?

  
  

• Help - just sync Sansa Fuze 4 GB and not selected folder names

  I just sync Sansa Fuze 4 my wife Go with Windows Media Player and folder names are not preserved. It's the folder view using the artist name and it is not how the songs were - they were on the PC as "Classic country" etc. That's happened? I have one without Fuze 2 GB that displays correctly when I sync the files... How can I fix it?  I'll try to redo with her in another mode to USB using windows Explorer to load the files and see if that makes a difference, but why the difference between the 4 GB Fuze and Fuze 2?

  
  

• E280/radio-alarm clock/dock problem FIXED!

  (Not that anyone else in the world probably will never have that problem... ;->)

  But in case someone ever does it, here is the solution.

  Reminder of the problem:

  Sansa and Timex clock radio play together well

  OK, I officially * had * it! (e280, clock radio and now dock)

  http://forums.SanDisk.com/Sansa/board/message?board.ID=E200&message.ID=30169#M30169

  ******************

  After communication with Sandisk (they * will keep talking about you, I'll give you em that...!), received suggestiion put in MTP mode and rename the folder 'Rhapsody' folder 'Services', if such were present.  Computer would only remove, so I again asked if the deletion was OK and if having a folder 'Rhapsody', it turns the e280 thought I had or used to have a Rhapsody subscription.  Positive on these two points, so I deleted the folder.  Problem solved.  Fix five minutes, including waiting for the computer to start...

  Follows my email to Sandisk.  (It's * my * e-mail, so I figure that I can copy it anywhere I want and he said what I have to say about the problem... ;->))

  *****************

  'Rhapsody' folder deleted. Unit works now fine with Sansa docking station and radio alarm clock.

  Wish that someone had told me about this simple correction much earlier. (Like $500 earlier!) My husband and I love all the e280s and the docks and wake-scattered, in fact, and I guess we'll get our money out of them before die us, but what I originally wanted was to get the first e280 to work with radio-alarm clock, as it did before the problem started.

  I * could * have waited until the initial problem has been fixed (possibly) instead of going on a buying frenzy, but I was afraid that if one) I waited and b) the problem has never been resolved, I would not be able to get another e280/clock radio, since the e200 series had been replaced by a new range of products.

  Suggestions for Sandisk:

  Format should mean FORMAT! I don't know if I find more amazing than the left repeated formats this Rhapsody folder in place or that it took so much communication with you all luck to someone who knew that. It's not as if I did not mention Rhapsody first - due to my chance to see only fleeting message when the problem started, it was the * first * possibility I mentioned, I think.

  It's also a problem the Amazon, DRM-free tracks somehow did it think that I had an expired subscription to Rhapsody, when I've never been and won't be anywhere * near * Rhapsody! (Especially after this experience!)

  It would be nice if everything was at least * visible * in MSC mode - I didn't on this issue because it does not appear in the mode I use! If I * saw * it in MSC mode, I tried the suggested fix original (rename) on mine!

  It would also be nice if your future mp3 players were more like the e200 series. I'm not terribly unhappy to have a bunch of e280s (well good, except for the money...), because I think they make your current line look sick.

  IMHO, FWIW... ;->

  And thanks to at least talk to me until the issue is resolved (if any) - I'll say that for Sandisk!

  You answer to me so that I can mark this FIXED!

• User-mode Driver Framework Host Process has encountered a problem and needs to close...

  I have an e280 and have been using Napster to Go for a few years. Computer running XP. All of a sudden, we get this message when you plug the Sansa in MTP mode:

  Windows Driver Foundation - User-mode Driver Framework Host Process has encountered a problem and needs to close.  We are sorry for the inconvenience. 

  the error signature:

  szAppName: WudfHost.exe szAppVer: 6.0.5716.32 szModName: WudfHost.exeszModVer: 6.0.5716.32 offset: 000130f5

  technical information about the error report:

  C:\DOCUME~1\EARLDA~1\Locals~1\Temp\WERb6aa.dir00\appcompat.txt

  Sansa works very well in MSC mode, but then I can't synchronize with Napster. WMP 11 has updates. I tried many tips from Device Manager that have been mentioned, but it will not be installed successfully.

  Any thoughts?

  Thank you!

  You can try to go back to WMP 10, remove the driver framework user-mode (on the Panel-> Add/Remove Programs) and then update back to WMP 11.  It might even work with WMP 10, so try before upgrade to WMP 11.

• Charger for Sansa Fuze

  My wife has a Sansa E260 and a wall charger and car Griffin Technologies. The connector that plugs into the E260 is identical to that on my rocket. Can I use these Chargers with my rocket? Thank you.

  In my opinion, they are the same.  I use the same USB cable for my E280 and the rocket without any problem.

• E280 V1 using RockBox sees the chip of the 4 GB SDHC but don't play MP3 on the chip

  Greetings:

  I have read many postings in this community and have a problem with my V1 e280 that I saw an ad for, although there are a lot of comments, so I apologize if I'm rehashing old stuff:

  I have pair of Sansa e280 V1 units which work very well with the original Sansa (v.18a) and also the RockBox OS (v. 14975 - 071004).  I recently bought a pair of Sandisk 4 gig chips Micro SDHC, which I am aware only work with RockBox.  Since I can connect to my computer Windows XP SP2 only my e280 using RockBox and since any bigger piece that 2 gig will not be recognized by the operating system of origin of the Sansa, there is no way both connect to my computer and also to see the concert 4 chip at the same time , so I downloaded the MP3 files in the 4 GB chip by plugging it directly into my computer.

  By the advice of this community, I connected my e280 to my computer and then deleted the folder System / Data.  Then I plugged in my 4 GB chip on the e280 and started Rockbox.   Then I went settings/General Settings/database/Initialize now and initialized and restarted the e280.

  The e280 sees 4 GB (System/RockBox Info) including how chip it is occupied by the .mp3 files, but when the new database is formed, he sees not all in 4 GB chip .mp3 files, only the .mp3 files internal to the e280.

  If I try to update the database (settings/general settings/Database/Update Now), then I get the standard "update in the background", and if I then go on RockBox/database and look at recently "added," I get «from the search...» 0 found ()", and shortly after, ALL database entries disappear!   I can get them by Initializing and restarted again, but still without the content of the 4 GB chip.   What happens here?

  I bet that I'm missing a few simple steps - can help you?

  Thanks, Airpilot

  Howdy Bob and mark:

  First of all, thanks to you both for your help.  It turns out that the two of you helped in the solution.  Bob said to check the id3 tags.  Mark asked that records on the 4 GB chip have been seen, or the files were also well seen.  Those answers gave me a break and pushed me to do the following:

  1. all files (5 of them, each 450-500 MB, streaming audio) were loaded on the root of the chip 4 GB as .mp3 files and not in a folder under the root.  I pulled the chip and created a folder in which the five files were placed.  BTW, I use a chip capable of Kingston FCR-HS219/1 SDHC drive to access my 4 GB chips.  When I reloaded and reset my e280, I could see the folder and files.  In the FILES, they are listed in the folder.  In the DATABASE, they are listed as .  This led to the realization that:

  2. my flies streaming had no id3 tags!  I agree that this has not done a difference when searching for these files in the FILE list, the fact that they had to read labels meant that I missed them, since they were lost in the list of the other files not marked in the internal memory e280.  Assigning these files id3 tags, transferring to the e280 and then the initialization of the database show them correctly in the list database.

  BTW, my 4 GB chips are formatted using FAT32.

  THANKS to each of you for your suggestions.   This problem is solved.

• E280 dropped... now it does not work - HELP!

  I dropped my e280 and now it does not start.  Here's the thing... I can always connect to my PC and can still transfer music, playlists and so on.  I have a car charger, and when it is connected, I can listen to the music and see the songs, etc..  The problem is if it is not connected to anything it does not illuminate.  I had plugged to the PC for 4 hours and looks like it is still loading the battery.  So... any advice on what I should do to get this thing working again?  I was going to communicate directly with SanDisk, but thought I would try here firsrt.  Thank you!!

  Maybe you hit the loose battery when you dropped it. Open the back (four small screws), remove the battery and put it again firmly.

• E280: Files in folders - they should be here?

  I have the E280 and I organized my music into the hierarchy (ARTIST, ALBUM, and FILES).  When I went in the Menu Tools,... Folder Options then view tab and unchecked the "Hide protected files (recommended) operating system", the files like: face {#} _Large.jpg Album, Album face {#} _Small.jpg, AlbumArtSmall.jpg, desktop.ini and Folder.jpg stood under the ARTIST folder.

  If those who that all be here, and that is what might take place on the drive?  And what is desktop.ini and Folder.jpg?  In addition, moreover, under the ALBUM folder, I always my Album Art.jpgs.

  Thanks for the help.

  Among the images JPEG is there to be the image w / music. The desktop.ini file and folder.jpg files are there for when you open windows that it displays the file preview, as well as pictures of each file before clicking on them. They are normal for Windows, but you need on the Sansa.

  They are probably NOT that large, but you could do an advanced search (w / Windows) for all files and remove...

• What Sansa is better for Audio books?

  Hi - I'm new on the forum 'Hello' to everyone and I hope you can help me!

  Not only am I back on the forum I'm new in the world of MP3 players - I never thought I want one, but I decided that I do - not particularly for music but for audio books.

  After having narrowed down my choice of a Sandisk player, I'd be happy to have some tips about what is the best of a Clip + and Fuze + for audio books?

  TIA

  Just my opinion. If I were you, however, I would travel even if the jury Fuze + and perhaps use the search box on the two cards to "audiobooks" and see what happens; I know there have been lots of discussions. This way you can get valuable insights into others and an idea of what to expect from these two players.

• Problem with sound files - appear as "unknown".

  Hello world

  I just bought a 8 GB Clip + to replace an old Creative Zen. I don't sync most of my music to the player last night no problem at all, but the audio seems to be another issue...

  I updated the drive with the latest firmware and tried to copy the files to the Clip + mode MTP and MSC, as well as with the latest version of Windows Media Player - the problem is that .aa files do not appear at all in the folder of audiobooks on the drive or appear as "unknown". The Clip refuses to read the file 'unknown' and shows a duration of 0.00.00 - oddly enough, if you check the news of track for the file, he referred to corrrectly an audible file with the title and the time everything is OK.

  Extremely frustrating as one of the main selling points for me the Clip + was alleged compatibility with files sound then I would be really grateful if anyone can someone offer advice as to the cause of the problem - I know someone else had a similar problem when you use a Mac (see this thread)

  http://forums.SanDisk.com/Sansa/board/message?board.ID=ClipPlus&message.ID=823&query.ID=50730#M823

  but I'm on Windows 7 at home and had no better luck using my PC to work that is running Windows XP.

  Thanks in advance for any advice!

  With the latest versions of firmware, the Clip + and Fuze will work with the files in the Audible Format 4 or Enhanced (.aa or .aax) format.  Check your client Audible (Audible Manager) to the selected format.  If the files are of size 3 or less, this could be your problem.

  Do you use the Audible Manager or Windows Media Player to transfer the files to the Clip +?  The Manager works best.  Do not forget that the Clip + has been authorized using the Manager.

• Question I just bought a rocket 'old '?

  Hello-

  I finally bought a 8 GB Fuze today!  My first mp3 player... so excited... except that I realized (and maybe it seems ridiculous) but the packaging is not one that is currently using Sansa and the date on the back says 2008.  There was a rocket of update since then?  Or am I just to buy the same product sold now except in the old packaging.  In addition, is the port of owners (I mean, this right of hope) is standard on all of them or who put both in a mini-USB?  I am new to all this so I hope that makes sense!

  Thank you very much.

  Newer is not necessarily better.

  Are you lucky you have a v1 - if you have. Look under Settings/System Settings/Info to determine if your firmware starts with 1 or 2.

  If you browse this forum, you will find the v2 seems slightly buggy v1 - so much so that SanDisk has had to walk back on his latest firmware (look at the Firmware update thread).

  If you do not have the v2, the firmware of the use of the 2.02.26, installed manually, rather than the version.28. And don't worry not - the "rocket" is still a clever player in either version. It's a good idea to update, regardless of which version you got. Updates add things like .ogg and. Capacity FLAC and navigation of files and folders (as in Windows Explorer).

  Manual installation couldn't be easier, and you don't need the Sansa Updater for firmware as long as you check here every three months or more. You download the .zip file, unzip the and drop fuzea.bin on the Sansa Fuze player.

  It takes the update to get the latest Sansa Media Converter to put pictures and videos on the device, which can be downloaded with the connected device.  Run the update once, get the converter and uninstall the update. Or don't bother: Video4Fuze works better than Sansa Media Converter anyway.

  The owner is the same in all rockets and the E200 Series as well. You can easily find a cord of generic alternatives for less than $5 on Amazon, which is nice to have around if you use the "rocket", for example, home or office. Just make sure that it is for Sansa E200 and Fuze. The card resembles an iPod Jack, but the power iPod connection will destroy the Sansas.

• E 280 Firmware * beep *-to the top!

  I have an E280 and recently heard talk about firmware updates and thought - what a great idea!

  In my ignorance, and I went along to the site and downloaded the UpdaterInstaller, ran what I thought was the update of firmware for my drive, and in the process seems to have paralyzed it! (

  disappeared from many files, and those who remain are empty or oddly named and apparently corrupt)...

  -This is, is there anywhere I can get the original firmware for the E280 8 GB file?

  Thanks for any help!

  -Desperate Bill.

  WOW-Thanks for the quick reply SkullAbyss!

  After this announcement, I found an old thread on "recovery mode" which had a link to a couple of files from the firmware by Netron Bob...

  -J' gave those a go with his instructions and it's all together now!

  Thaks - for help I'm so glad I found this forum!
