Sansa e280: problem bad track/formatting (screenshots included)
Hello, I have had my Sansa e280 for a little less than a year now, and have not had any problems. recently, however, I met a block that prevented me from using my Sansa.
first of all, I turned off my Sansa one afternoon while listening to a certain title. minutes later I turn it back on to finish listening to it, and it gives me a message "Bad Track" and refuses to play. This message appears for more than half of the music that was on my Sansa (no one who has ever had this problem). I tried a few things common sense, as the withdrawal and replacement of the music. that did not help, the message was the same on the same tracks. so I removed all my Sansa music and went to the internet to find the problem.
most of the people with this problem are being told to format the Sansa. I followed the same steps several times to deal with the "this device cannot complete the format" or some nonsense. so currently, I had the original problem can only be fixed with something I can't do. In addition, my Sansa is on my desk in two pieces (I took the case off voltage and battery, nothing major).
In addition, I can't delete the video files that I have on my Sansa when I tried to manually empty my Sansa, it gives me an error in the sense of "the device cannot complete the task because it has stopped responding / is not connected.
Finally, I tried to do the other way of formatting, by starting it upward in the recovery and as a result a FAQ that I found on this site, but when I enter the removable disk in my computer, there is nothing there but a text of the document which essentially lists the details of the product.
to drag more far, here some screenshots are accompanied by more questions.

in the first note above, there are three songs, two from Rancid and one named ' AV74B8 ~ 1.MP3 '. I have no idea what is the last of them, or why he says that there is music on there - especially when I can restart it and go into the music folder and it says
circled in red are a ton of the same file, that too, I don't know what they are or how they did it. Blue Square at the top, the "MUSIC" folder When I walk into this folder, it brings me to the next image http://i91.Photobucket.com/albums/K298/Armageddon_04/sansaproblem2.jpg who is concerned, the same as the record in the first photo, just to show that images and not in the details. If I get the 'MUSIC' folder into this folder, it keeps looping to several records 'MUSIC '. is this a problem? I just thought it was weird and here is a picture of my Sansa connected in recovery, there is no hidden files, I checked. http://i91.Photobucket.com/albums/K298/Armageddon_04/sansaproblem3.jpg I hope this is enough information to get a response, because that's all that I can provide - please help, all entries is appreciate You have corrupted files. You must run the command Chkdsk before attempting to format. The instructions are under #9 in the FAQsection. Also read # 12 everything in you'e it. ChkDsk will look for corrupted files and repair them (with a bit of luck). As much as you seem to have, you will need to format it after. The reason why you were not able to format up to now is 1.) your files are too corrupt. They need to be repaired to the point where they can be deleted by formatting and 2.) It seems that if your player is in MTP mode. You must switch to MSC mode to format.
Don't worry, it's not as bad as it sounds. It's just that you'll have to re - load it all after formatting. If you have recently added a few songs just before this problem started, look in the ID3tags of songs with a program like MP3TAG before you put them on your player. If you have any strange characters or foreigners in here, especially in the COMMENTS section, delete them. The correct version of tag you want is ID3v2.3 ISO-8859-1. There are other versions, but this is one (the only) who will work on the Sansas. If you have corrupted ID3tags and not corrected before re - load these files on your drive, you're going to do this whole procedure all over again. Just take it step by step and you will be OK. Tags: SanDisk Sansa Hey. When iv downloaded the music from my laptop to my sansa e280 I cant find the music on the mp3 player, but when it is connected to my laptop, its top show here... And it seems freez sometime. Anyone has an idea on what could be the problem? Thanks for giving my a recovery as soon as possible. Is one of the music show up in the "Unknown" category in the lists (artists, Albums, Genres) on your drive? Could bad or full-in information (or even total lack of) the ID3 tags of music files. This situation is also known to cause occasional freezes, too. If the Sansa can't read the ID3 tag (corrupt characters or foreign or wrong format) to fill lists during the updating of the database, he doesn't know what to do so he just stops or crashes. Remember, like any computer they are not too bright. Sansa e280: multiple paths to the devices during the synchronization and no MUSIC file Feature: Sandisk Sansa e280 8G version: 01.02.24A I had a problem with my e280. A month ago, I started getting an error message during playback of my music files. The error says "Syncronize to continue music subscription" I have synced to my computer, nothing helps. Soon ALL my music files were giving me this error message. I went on the Sansa website, where I was directed to download and run the device Sansa Recovery Console. I did as instructed, and now when I join my e280, I get TWO paths of devices (E: / and F: /). I am only able to access one of them (E: /). F: / is noted as removable drive and not going anywhere. When I enter in E: / I can not find my music files. When I remove my camera, he did a restart of automatic system, as soon as the restart was successful, it updates the database for about 10 minutes. I synced the device and my computer prompted me to format the device. I formatted and I still no MUSIC file. The device has been wiped and I thought it would be best to seek professional help until I made the situation worse. If there is any other information needed to tell me what it is and, in the worst case scenario, how to find and I'll post it as soon as POSSIBLE. I know it's a lot of problems for a single device, but any help at all would be greatly appreciated! Thank you for your time, Dibbz Unless you are dealing with the Rhapsody subscription service, the error message "sync" is probably due to problems, DRM , Windows Media Player created without your knowledge. It is turned on by default in WMP, & unless you know about it from the start, you can do it yourself untold headaches. If you are ripping from CD to the .wma format, uncheck the option 'Copy protect' in the rip settings tab. It's the guy causing the problem. If you do not rip your own CD and downloading these songs instead, they have a DRM encryption. Try a different and/or source format. MP3 files don't have any crippling DRM. You must delete the files on the drive and start over with new, best non - DRM. If RIP you to .mp3 format, it won't be a problem, more there are other benefits on the Microsoft/WMP .wma format. When connected in MSC mode, your computer will detect your drive as just another flash storage device; actually 2 separate devices. 1 will be your drive (internal memory). In your case, E:. F: received the external memory card slot, if there is a card in it or not. If you have no card in the slot, that's why he 'not going anywhere '. Perfectly natural and nothing bad here. The MUSIC folder (and others) are hidden by default. You have to display . Formatting will erase all content, so this is only necessary performed as a last resort. It's a PITA to re - load it all so that you do not want to unless it is absolutely necessary. But now that yours is formatted, you can start over w/o of the DRM BS and your problems should go away. Sansa e280 is not usb mode in the menu settings and is not recognized by pc My sansa e280 is recognized by my pc where it was originally regestered, but is not recognized by another identical pc. It also has no usb mode in the settings menu, so I couldn't use the suggested by forum solution. Thank you very much! I understand it on my own through the main page of Sansa.com. Now, after the last firmware download it has 3 settings/USB modes: detect the DPW, msc and auto. Still no problem on my PC. The another, unfortunately, is 5000 miles away. Hope, it will work here, too. Thanks again. audio cd transfer to sansa e280 How can I transfer audio cd to sansa e280? Yep, drag and drop them on the "rocket". The subject line accidentally used a technical term. Audio CD is used to designate the .wav files are commercially released CD. An album on CD's often (like Audio CD) .cda files who run your computer for real songs .wav files. "Rip" means convert (most often in .mp3). You already have mp3s. Someone has already pulled them. When Windows Media Player asks you an Audio CD, this means a CD like those you buy in a store. When WMP asks you if you want to make an Audio CD, this means a CD of .wav files that will play on a portable CD player or home. Remember those? Current which will probably also play MP3s, but original CD players do not have. My sansa e280 v2 does not recognize my 4 GB sdhc card My sansa e280 v2 does not recognize my card sdhc and i ' v ever read other posts, but it does not work. i ' v used in msc mode, but the music does not appear.

Sansa e280 - unknown files - mp3tag.m3u is not supported Hello I bought a sansa e280. First, almost all the files were unknown - I read the other reviews - downloaded mp3tag v2.42.a, modified to ID3v2.3 ISO-8859-1 as the replaced tags witl Ctrl + s. I copy, resulting in 'mptag.m3u is not supported. what I did wrong? Another thing is unclear: How can I remove database? Thank you Peter Just highlight all the tags and save them (as ID3v2.3 ISO-8859-1). You will see ID3v2.3 in parentheses. .m3u is a playlist file, then maybe make a playlist with CTRL +. If that's what you want to do, you must save the playlist in the folder with MP3. The data base in a v1 is the DATA folder in the SYSTEM folder. You must UN-hide the folders hidden in the Options of folders in Windows. The database in a v2 is mtable.sys. Strange problem with the formatting of the text Hello I had a strange problem with the formatting of the text. I created a document in Polish language and the strange thing happens when it divides the word to the next line. For example here on this part of the page, I have a word "umieszczamy", which should be divided "' u - CEF - szcza - my", but my Indesign divides in umi-eszczamy (as shown on the picture). " How can I fix it so it divides the word correctly? Concerning What language is awarded when you select the text? Hyphenation, but also the spelling, is controlled by the dictionary that is assigned to the text. If the language is correct, you might have to change the hyphenation in the user dictionary. Problem with the format of the values in the command prompt (when you use multiple values) I think the YEAR Data Type could be defined DOUBLE RPD. Use the CAST function in the formula (fx) and the output from test. CAST (INT YEAR) Hope, it will help you. Sansa E280 unable to Format disk. Need HELP! Hey ho Sansa users,. So! Here's my dilemma. I got my Sansa for 2 1/2 years. So far, no problem. Recently even though I was starting to have some funky things happening, the noise turning randomly on its own or the song randomly jumping, not much, only occurred once in a blue moon. Now that about a couple of weeks, for some reason strange, downloaded other titles on my drive, as usual and after playing a few times very well, they began to get damaged. Aka. The sound would be cut in the headphones, and then slowly back through static, or the song would stop playing altogether and there would be a mermaid acute start sounding in my helmet. I had some problems with my Sansa before and the guy I spoke to said to format the hard drive. So, I tried to format the hard drive, but it says unable to complete the format. In addition, for some reason that disk space is showing the player as being empty, but when I look in the hard drive (in browser windows) there is always as 50 active files that I deleted (or tried to remove) like 7 times and each time that they keep reappearing. I updated my firmware, but it still doesn't seem to work or I want to erase the disc. Thoughts? Any help is greatly appreciated! Mojo Looks like you have some seriously damaged files. Make sure that (under settings/USB Mode) you are to the CSM. Try chkdsk If this does not work, then try again shaping and keep an eye on every step. When you get the message "cannot format"? Problem reading music Sansa E280 v1 When I play some songs on full volume they pause for a second, that they do not have it on my 4 GB clip It could be a problem with some of your id3 tags, eventually. Download and install mp3tag and use it to set your tags in the format iso-8859-1 id3v2.3. Use tag copy and label stick to ensure that other versions of tag crushed. Empty comment fields. Sometimes strange non-printable characters in the comment field can cause the Sansa to do weird things. Try the formatting and reloading of your music player. Try to update your firmware manually. Try to install rockbox to see if the files play well with this alternative firmware. Sansa Clip + problems, correct the records but unknown marking and scrambled the tracks. Help! Hi guys,. There can someone please offer some advice for me and my husband before we became completely crazy? We bought for our daughter the Sansa Clip +, but we are having the same problem occur over and over again. During his music and audio books have first been loaded above all was fine. Added items displayed in the files and the right places but, now, for some reason when we add anything, the record of the album can be seen, but it also creates an additional folder that displayed as "Unknown". When you go and try to play inside this folder it does not work... "We always ensure that there is proper use of marking we MP" tag, so I know that the questions are not because of it. We have tried everything we can think of. Tried to update but I think we already have the latest version installed in any case - V01.02.18P, performed a factory reset, put in shape and I have tried using different modes, but it makes no sense. Why everything fine was a couple of days and not now... We use a 16 GB Kingston SDHC Card inside the Clip +. Please any ideas would be welcome because it becomes a nightmare. Thanks Claire x I should add that I am starting to think that I can have bought a card SD of FAKE writing is rubbing on the front of the card... IS this likely and if so could cause of the issues I am currently experiencing? XX Problems with Sansa e280 (8Gb) - lots and lots of problems! Hi everyone, I tried looking for answers to this problem in forums and technical support, but since he seems to have worsened, I thought I'd see if anyone can help me. My Sansa was bugged for a while, but finally stopped work and say "unable to load image" (as many others have known). I tried to download the update for Sansa, who was installed, but could not then find updates, even if my device is connected. So I tried the manual way and downloaded the firmware myself. At this point, I could always go into recovery mode. I transferred files and unplugged the unit. He seemed full of hope, he was installing but the screen went black and the blue ring stays on. For a time looong. Now the only thing that he meets is the power button, which when pressed, gives the ring to go blue and the screen do nothing. Recovery mode will not work. Is there something to what I can do? In another post, someone suggested that the battery might help - thoughts? Thanks a lot for any help Right... After using this site as a guide, I can confirm that my Sansa is well and truly fixed. Back from the dead! Now I understand why people like Linux Best of all, he glided FM Radio over there - that wasn't there to begin with! Thanks for your help Jamieson Problem loading sansa e280 after hard drive reformat Load should not require a driver. Are plug you the cord directly into the computer (not a hub) and you have tried all the USB ports on the computer? Some, usually at the back, offer more power than others. Another thing, you could try is simply the opening on the back of the Sansa with a small screwdriver - don't waste the itty-bitty screw - and take the battery out and put it in comfortably. Simply, it can detach. Even if it is somehow a driver problem, the drivers for the Sansa are both in Windows itself: the driver USB Windows base and that of the PSG in Windows Media Player 10 or 11 (not 9, one supplied with Windows XP). Try putting the Sansa MSC mode (under Settings/USB mode), which works on the USB driver. And try to update Windows Media Player (download it from www.microsoft.com) to 10 or 11, if you use MTP mode. When connecting the Sansa, look in Device Manager (XP location is probably different - tab Settings/Control Panel/System/Hardware/Device Manager in Vista) and see if there is a yellow triangle with an exclamation point. If you see that, uninstall this device and restart. Windows should reinstall a working driver.
