Music mystery on new 4 GB clip

Hi all

This is my first post, I hope that I get this straight!

I just got my new 4 Clip of GB and a group of music on it using Winamp. Strangely, there is music on there that I have not download (!). Is this normal? I assume it's something Sandisk put there as a promo or something, but I can't find the audio files anywhere on the Clip. Talents are "Alias & Ehren", "The Jones Gang", "The Red Thread", & "The Shanghai Restoration Project".

I manually deleted them, but am interested to know if this is something other people have found.

Thank you

Toby.

These songs are pre-loaded on every Sansa. Older Sansas has even more (18 or almost).

Oh, and the reason why you couldn't find them, is they were in hidden folders.

  • I bought hundreds of dollars of music from iTunes over the past years.  My old computer died.  I have a new computer.  I don't know how to do neither iTunes nor any of the musice on my new computer.  I'm old (70) and cannot

    Don't tell me that I don't know how to ask a question.  I don't really have.  My question is, is there someone or something out there that can make me my music on my new computer?  I had everything buy once in the past.  I'm not inclined to do it again.

    Here are the steps:

    • You say that you have a new computer.  I guess that's literally true, and so it has the latest operating system.
    • Open iTunes if you have it on your computer.  If you don't have iTunes, download it from http://www.apple.com/itunes/download
    • Use the iTunes menu to navigate to account > Sign In and sign in with your Apple ID.
    • Go to the iTunes under the "Music" setting store
    • Click on the link 'Buy' on the right side.
    • Go to the "not in my library" tab.
    • From there, you will be able to download all the music you have previously bought in iTunes.
  • iTunes deletes music synchronized to new computer...

    I have to be honest, it is less of an issue and more just me desperately need help.  I tried to sync my iPod (4th generation) to my new laptop with a USB cable, and after that, I had downloaded music has been removed from my iPod.  105 to 72 songs, 6 hours of audio songs to 4.  It was a mixture of songs that I had bought from iTunes and the music that I downloaded on the computer.  I didn't know this would happen, the search of the forums told me it deletes nothing had not provided iTunes, let alone real purchase iTunes songs.  So I tried to go and restore the backup of the iPod, buuut of course he says that there is not enough storage on the iPod to save.  What is the restore point, if it doesn't even go to work, I mean it's not like I'm adding more to what I had originally, right?  Anyway, if you can't tell, I'm a little upset.  I would be grateful if anyone has assistance or advice that could be useful in this situation.  I guess I have two questions:

    If I remove, say, all my music or something to open a storage capacity of the iPod and then try to restore the backup, it would be re - download what I had deleted or who would eventually lose as well?

    Alternatively, if I get the original computer to run, where I had downloaded music in the first place, I would be able to use a flash drive to transfer the data to the new computer and then transfer to the iPod, all this without loss of data in the process?

    I would be grateful the help, thanks.

    I don't know how you came to this conclusion. Synchronization in general an Apple device with a new library replaced the content on the device with what is in the library. There is a warning asking you to confirm that you want to erase and sync the device. The deletion of the word should be clear.

    I hope you can get the old computer shot long enough to collect the library. Otherwise you may have to run his external hard drive to recover data.


    Migrate a library iTunes from one computer to another

    These are two approaches that work normally to move an existing library to a new computer.

    Method 1

    1. Save the library with this trick of the user.
    2. Remove the old computer if you no longer wish to access content protected on it.
    3. Restore the backup to your new computer by using the same tool used to back it up.
    4. Keep your current backup in the future.

    Method 2

    Connect the two computers on the same network. Share your old computer < user music > folder and copy the folder of library full iTunes in the < user music > on the new folder. Yet once, remove the old computer so is no longer necessary.

    These two methods should give the new computer, a clone of the library work which was on the former. What about iTunes is it is still the 'home' for your devices library you should not have problems with iTunes will erase and reload.

    I recommend method 1 because it establishes a current backup for your library.

    Note If you have iOS devices and that you have not reached your contacts and calendar all in all items, then you need to create a dummy entry in your new profile and iTunes expected to merge existing data from the device.

    If your media folder has been separated in the main folder of iTunes, you may need to do some preparatory work to make it easier to move. See make a library of portable split.

    If you are in the unfortunate position where you're able to access your original library or a backup and then see recover your iTunes from your iPod or an iOS device to get tips on how to configure your devices with a new library with the maximum preservation of data.

  • New firmware Sansa Clip (1 GB) = no music file?

    I just upgraded my Sansa Clip (1 GB) with the new Firmware, and when I plug it in, it does not my music files, how to bring them back? The music is still playing and everything, just at the moment where I Plug and click on the folder, it is not show them.

    Firmware updates usually restore the unit to the default USB, Auto Vice mode. It will connect to the PSG most of the time. If the files have been transferred in MSC mode, you do not see them unless in this mode. Go to settings > system settings > USB mode and switch to the MSC. Then re - connect and see if these files now appear.

  • How can I prevent iTunes from bad put new music in a new folder?

    I have a new Windows computer and moved all my music stored in iTunes, which went well.  I had to re-rip CDs (missing songs from a long - ago migration) and I noticed that instead of putting the songs in c:\users\username\music\itunes\itunesmedia, it is now declining these newly ripped songs in a subfolder in iTunes Media appointed, in addition, 'Music' (c:\users\username\music\itunes\itunesmedia\music).  I discovered this when I right click
    Display in Windows Explorer and sees all the music from a CD in a folder.  Records are organized just like in iTunes Media, by artist name and that the mere fact that I know, they are not in one place, they play well.  Still, I would an album to be all in one folder, however.

    Here are my settings/preferences:

    location of iTunes Media is: c:\users\username\music\itunes\itunesmedia

    Maintain organized the iTunes Media folder is not checked

    Copy the files in the iTunes folder when adding to Library Media is verified.

    "I assumed that once when adding new songs, the: copy files to iTunes Media folder" would be my songs on behalf of the artist suitable in iTunes Media, but rather he loses music newly added in a new folder confusingly also named 'music' in iTunes Media.

    Looking for suggestions on setting changes (a computer expert suggested I not check keep iTunes folder Media to keep the best control of my collection, but I wonder if this would solve everything.) In addition, it is a new computer and Windows music player ever has been implemented, so I don't think that there is a problem with both programs clashing.)

    Thx for helping me, Roberta

    I think it's the way iTunes he did for awhile now.

  • How to download purchased new music on the new laptop when first download unsuccessful on the old machine?

    I downloaded a few songs on my very old laptop that doesn't work: using the new laptop, iTunes tells me that I already bought the but I don't see any way of the re - download: maybe because I'm in France? What can I do to get the music I paid? Thanks in advance!

    Are purchases on the iTunes store in France? You must be in a country to use his shop (including redownloading), which is part of the plan of the store, so while you are in France, you can only use the Bank of France (and potentially to re-download your purchases Bank of France). You can redownload will show in the purchase link under quick links on the right side of the home page of the iTunes music store (assuming you have not hidden their cloud, and if they are still in the store).

  • 90 days block Apple ID on music downloads on new iPhone

    When my new iPhone 6s more has been set up, he took my login to iCloud and used Apple for the App Store and iTunes also. Now that I've changed the App Store and iTunes Apple ID for DIFFERENT correct a he has blocked me from my iTunes music downloads for 90 days.

    Because it was associated with the ID of the first, it will not now let me use the second ID for 90 days, I tried both ways. Implemented as new and set up my previous phone support in iTunes. There is no problems with Apps like them OK synchronization from the iTunes App on my Mac.

    I don't remember this problem before, but it's not good to be cut from my 1, in thousands of dollars of music

    When you use iTunes game, iCloud Match, automatic downloads or redownload past an account purchases you are likely to start an association of 90 days to this account (I think it's an attempt to try to stop people by logging into their account on other computers/devices and their contents of download/share): display and delete associated devices in iTunes - Apple Support

    If you can not wait 90 days ended you can try to contact iTunes Support and see if they can / will remove this association: https://www.apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html

  • Music on my new MacBook GONE

  • Need some help please... when I download new songs, other clip disappear...

    Someone at - it advice?  I don't have this problem on my old computer with Windows XP and older Windows support.  Now, I am running Vista with latest media player (which I have not always figured out).  Don't know if that has nothing to do with my problem or not.  Thanks for any help...

    Yep, good suggestion, just use Windows Explorer to copy songs on your Clip and see what happens.  My guess is that WMP is configured to delete songs on the Clip that you are not currently sync to it.  Most music managers have the ability to do.

    If you really want to use a music management program, you can move to something like MediaMonkey.  I tried to use WMP in the past, it's horrible.

  • New user of Clip - new on the marking of files...

    Hey, I just got a 1 GB Clip for Christmas and I love it, just try to get used to the way the music is displayed. I have a few thousand mp3s on my computer all sort by artist - Filename.mp3 (Billy Joel - Piano Man.mp3 for example), all this without tags. When I insert a few songs in the player, it reads thus:

    Unknown

    Billy Joel - Piano Man/unknown

    I was wondering if there was a way to let him read:

    Billy Joel

    Piano Man

    I don't know if I should be uploading one of these AutoM3u programs and let it create tags on my entire repertoire, or what to do. I understand not all of the 'files' debate, I'm just a guy who always removed the tags of the mp3s because I kept sort them alphabetically on my computer. If someone could give me a help, I would appreciate it. Thank you!

    Hi, you use Mp3tag only (www.mp3tag.de) (Hey admins! why there is no FAQ on this subject? 9 messages of 10 talk about marking )

    in your particular case, your mp3 in the program directory, select all the files, convert-> "filename - tag" and insert this format string: artist % - %title%
