• 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.

• 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 . Also note that they have a 0:00:00 duration.

  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

  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.

  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.

• 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,

  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.

  No idea. See how to backup your iTunes for Windows with SyncToy library and make sure that you don't waste any more.

• 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. It happens on the computer, but of course I need extra space.

  some posts say always use rockbox anyway, but I do not understand what to do.

  Help, please!

  RB firmware does not replace the, but rather sits next to him. You can start either at will. The Rocbox utility should install everything for you.

• Sansa e280

  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 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.

• 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.

• The song disappear from iTunes on my MacBook.

  I have a song that shows as being in my library on my MacBook, but it is not. Some time ago I downloaded and then deleted. It disappeared from all my other devices but still present in iTunes on my MacBook. When I try to delete nothing happens, when I try to play nothing happens. When I opened the box of info song that States that it is always stored in iCloud, but it does not appear on any of my other peripheral iCloud library or is available from me to re-download cloud icon there.

  I tried to restart my MacBook & iTunes and also tried to turn my library iCloud off & back on, even running that a repair on my drive does not resolve the issue.

  Anyone got any ideas on how to solve this problem?

  Hi rangers29,

  Thank you for using communities of Apple Support. Based on what you said, it seems that there is a song that is just listed in iTunes and does not react to reading or deleting.

  One thing that can cause this is wrong with the iTunes library file. We can try to restore the file and see if the library updates and removes the song in the list because it is not downloaded.
  If you do not see your entire library after you update iTunes on your Mac or PC - Apple Support

  See you soon

• All songs disappeared like!

  It will probably seem strange (and I'm sure I'm familiar enough with El Capitan and iTunes not deleted 'accidentally' songs, but yesterday when I opened iTunes I noticed that all the songs in my library that had the kind set to Blues, was MISSING! What was even more strange, is that files on my external hard drive had also been removed. (Luckily I had just made a backup of my external hard drive the day before and was able to copy the files from there.)

  I read - that we all - "problems" with iCloud music library and Apple's music, but I don't know if some "glitch" in the system of the cause or not. (And Yes, songs of Blues that had been synchronized via the download of library service iCloud music were also removed from my iPhone iPad Mini 2 and 6).

  Any suggestions? Anyone see this before? I know I've seen cases where the songs or albums will play all of a sudden not through Apple music, but never had this happen before.

  Hello

  I had a similar problem earlier when I was remove some tracks for one of the artists but discovered later that I have selected all tracks and have been deleted by mistake. I was able to retrieve from the Recycle Bin. It happened to me once more. I am now very cautious when I delete tracks.

  An additional problem is that when you delete music Apple or iTunes titles match, they often disappear without be moved to the trash.

  I can't offer one solution other than be careful when you remove the titles AND make sure to keep good back ups that you have obtained.

• Another weird problem Playlist, songs DISAPPEAR!

  I use Winamp to create a m3u file and save it in the music on my SansaClip. No problem.

  But I tried to save 5 albums in a list. total of 43 songs. I click on the m3u file and Winamp plays the 43 songs.

  Yet my SansaClip wants only play 40 songs! 3 songs just are not RECOGNIZED by him. How weird is that? !!

  3 songs from the album by Tame Impala Innerspeaker just have somehow on the playlist. Ironically, one of the songs called "disappears" ' it's not means To Be.

  Maybe I should pursue this and just give up. But it is so boring! Anyone had similar problems, or know of a fix?

  OK, so I've deleted the album from the clamp, made a copy of it with the apostrophe taken out, to put it on the Clip, these 11 songs in a playlist and... they're all here!

  Problem solved! But why my SansaClip apparently allergic to the APOSTROPHES? !!

  Weird!

• 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!

  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"?

• 4 GB sansa clip + songs

  have 4 GB sansa clip + it only has 330 songs and says its almost complete, what did I do wrong charge off the coast of the ps3. is there something I got wrong im new to this 1st mp3 player part any help would be thank you very much once again. He plays all of the songs on it now

  You didn't say what format the songs were in, or how fast they were. If you load format FLAC or WAV (as opposed to the format mp3 for example), then I could see where your memory may be full.

• SanDisk sansa e280 V1 keeps looping (stucks) on the spalsh screen

  Hello

  I had a serious problem with my Sandisk e280... The other day I was listening to just when all of a sudden my mp3 restarted without any warning... now it's keeps looping on the home screen (black screen and "Sandisk" in white letters). Normally after the splash screen, you will see the main screen (menu), but my screen goes white then leaves (splash screen).

  Someone at - it suggestions?

  Thankss!

  Try:

  1 - holding the power button for 20 seconds to "reset". (and then turn it on)

  2 - take the battery for 30-60 seconds, then put the file in

  3 - switch to recovery mode, create a folder called "Sansa.fmt" and drop it onto the Sansa. It reformats itself when you turn it off. (DO NOT NEVER FORMAT the disc "16 MB format"!)

  4-if those who do not work, sometimes the 'Chip RAM' wiggles loose. Please dissamble it, push it in firmly and try again. Photos and instructions are HERE.
