Sansa Express 1 GB is not using MTP

A few years back my Sansa Express 1 GB worked as a MTP device.  Then, last year, my PC died and I replaced it.  Then, this year I had to reinstall my Windows XP Pro SP3 and my Sansa Express 1 GB now appears as a USB key instead.

I can't the Sansa of new MTP device?

I found the solution to my problem!  To get any MP3 player to work as a device MTP of Windows XP, you MUST install Windows Media Player 10 before the update for Windows Media Player 11.  If you do not, MTP Protocol will not install and the MTP Protocol is not available as a separate download.

  • MicroSD - "Drive is not formatted" after taking on sansa express

    Here's my problem.

    I have a kingston 1gig microSD card.

    I use a card reader and add songs to the card.

    I insert the card into the sansa express. Sansa reads the card very well, the songs are there.

    But when I remove the microSD card and plug my card to the reader to add more songs it says that "the drive is not formatted" and I need to format it in until I can use it!

    http://img213.imageshack.us/img213/1629/formez4.jpg

    This means that I have to erase everything that card and readd all the songs.

    The sansa express did something to the microSD card. It makes it unreadable when I connect it to my pc?

    Any fix for that?

    I found the problem.

    It was the * beep * kingston brand.

    Looks like sansa dislikes the kingstons.

    I bought a transcend 4 GB sdhc micro, and the problem disappeared.

    In fact, when I insert the chip in the sansa and plug the sansa I also get a drive for the micro sd card (it didn't happen with the kingston), in other words this thing doubles as a sdhc reader.

    But I had to format the chip with my other player sdhc first.

  • Sansa Clip Zip battery does not charge, goes directly to the screen of the song

    It's my third Sansa MP3 players.  The first was a Sansa Fuze with the round button.  Like that one but my husband needed more that I did it I gave it to him.  He is old, but the player is still so today.

    The second was a Sansa Fuze + with the touchpad.  The touchpad has been way too sensitive but I need to play only two songs for sleep therapy while I was fine with it until the battery suddenly stopped charging a few months ago, I posted my problems in the Sansa Fuze + forum.  After trying a few suggestions, I finally accepted that he was a Goner.

    I bought this Sansa Clip Zip 4 G, thinking that should last at least for a while because I use every day.  In fact, I needed only when I had disorders of sleep during the night;  I probably used it once every two weeks or more.  I used my cell phone to the device, had no problems until now.

    The last time that I loaded it was 2 weeks, to 98% full - the thing never indicated 100% while it was a little weird.  In any case, I had problems sleeping two nights ago so I took out the Clip Zip and noticed that the battery still had plenty of juice left.  This morning I checked the battery, he had 68%, but I thought I needed could again tonight so better it load up, just in case where.

    I connected it to my computer, but it did not show "connected" screen  Instead, he went straight to the last song I listened to.  I thought it was weird so I turned off the player then tried again.  Of course, he went directly to the screen of the song.  I noticed that the battery icon was showing 'filler '.  I thought that if I left it connected to the pc long enough IT would eventually deducted.  Two hours later, I checked the computer and it says that the drive battery was dangerously low.  I disconnected and then reconnected and this time he said 98% charged.  I loaded a bit more just in case so I used the player for about 15 minutes and the player turns off.  Plugged into the pc and now it says battery is extremely low, while the last hours do not charge the battery, but it drains pretty!

    My last attempt was to plug into a wall charger and guess what?  He went directly to the screen of the song once again.  Contrary to connect to the computer, I could actually turn off the player but this way does not charge the battery, or.   It's exactly the same problem as my second player, the Sansa Fuze +.

    I bought the last two players from Sansa, simply because I really liked the first which of course had been abandoned a long time ago.  I don't know if I have bad luck or it is just an issue joint Sansa players but one way or the other I don't buy any Sansa more in the future.  He is a big name that comes with the big disappointment!

    You can also try a reset by pressing and hold the power button for 20-30 seconds. Release it and then turn it on normally and see how it behaves.

    By your description of the message "dangerously low" you get then plug it into your computer, which tells me that you use MTP mode on the player (or default automatic default, MTP). MTP mode can be pretty weird; better to use MSC mode unless you have need to PSG for "protected" content or DRM files such as Rhapsody or audio in your library or Audible books. The small "crirically" message is a bug in Windows 7 (using MTP mode) that Microsoft did not consider important enough to fix.

  • Sansa Updater for Sansa Express - can we trust?

    Last October, I found myself "bricking" my Sansa Express while trying to update its firmware.  Fortunately I got it back working, but it took several hours of poring over forums and trying different things.  Today, while a few new songs to the Sync feature, a window appears telling me that there is an update available.  Can I trust him and how do I know what are the potential benefits of the update?

    If I have the same problem of upgrade in October for no real benefit, I stick wth the current versison.

    It is very possible that you already have the latest version, see how the latest updated for this model is 4 years old now. If you are less than a year ago, you have already installed this version. Check f/w on your Player version to confirm.

  • delete not used or unnecessary programs

    Hello

    I want to eliminate programs that are not used. The programs that I had in mind are as follows

    Another question I have is, I want to update my microprocessor. But the software that I use are mathematics programs which are additions to the student. This requires (for most suppliers) is that they be registered and activated directly online. In my opinion, they said is that they identify a number of host. My question if I am not mistaken, is the number of host associated with microprocessor or maybe a chip rom or operating system. Anyway, if I update the microprocessor is there a risk that the programs launch

    1 Control Panel, add/remove programs.

    2 depends entirely of their method, so you'll need to ask them instead.

  • Sansa express 2GB just died

    I recently bought 2 GB Sansa Express. After transferring files MP3 player today stopped working.

    When on just get SanDisk on screen then turns off almost immediately.

    Tried hard reset, did not work. Connecting to the pc, the player now shows as storage device.

    Following further discussions, I guess it's in MSC mode, but I can't do anything to change it.

    When you run Sansa updater, the message appears "no updateable sansa product has been recognized.

    Don't know what to do next?

    After many attempts now works OK

  • I'm a fool - recovery mode. Tried the sansa.fmt folder, but does not work... Help, please!

    My buddy gave me his sansa used for a Christmas gift.  I loved.  They when I delete his old songs that I deleted the other folders on it as well (pictures, records, etc.)  basically everything except the music files.  Now, when I turn it on, it says "cannot load the main image.  switch to recovery mode.  I browsed the forums and tried to make the sansa.fmt folder (it formatted) but still does not work.  I can't find the stuff I deleted from the Recycle Bin.

    Thank you in advance and happy holidays.

    It's Christmas time.  Santa has something cool in his bag, I'm sure.  We will first check the device to version 1.

    When he started upward, you saw just the SanDisk logo with sunburst on the splash screen?  I just want to be sure that your e200 is not a Rhapsody Sansa, because this version has different firmware.  R has a Rhapsody splash screen after the initial one.

    You've seen how to connect in Recovery Mode, Yes?  Start with the e200 decommissioned.  Slide the HOLD switch to the right (orange showing) and hold the button depressed all REC by plugging into the USB port.  It is the easiest method of recovery mode.

    Alternatively, you can start the Recovery Mode if the REC button is held, and the power-menu button is tapped too. In both cases, welcome to the Recovery Mode is displayed.  Either incidentally, the MSD acronym on the screen refers to the "Mass Storage Device", as in MSC mode.

    A few words of caution before going any further.  Recovery mode opens the reserved partitionof the device.  Critical data are stored here.  Do NOT use the Windows format command when this partition is opened, or you will erase these critical data! Only use the sansa.fmt folder trick to tell the e200 himself format automatically.

    Download and Unzip the TWO files of firmware for your Sansa e200v1 here.  It is the 01.02.24, the final version.  Just click on the version you want for your region.  The Sansa Updater link isn't what you need.

    The two files, after him have unzipped, are pp5022.mi4 and BL_SD... ROM (mental block on the name at the moment).

    When you connect the e200 and open a window of Windows Explorer (my computer / computer), you will see a new icon, 16 MB FORMAT.  Double-click this to open reserved partition.  Do not touch the file version.txt in there and don't TRY to use the Windows Format command that appears with a right-click, bad juju.

    Let's go Happy window. Drag the first window to a convenient size, and the other with your firmware files can be placed on the desktop.  Now for the magic!  Simply drag and drop these two firmware files on in the open window that represents the reserved partition.  Cool huh?  Easier to make the ratio of rum and eggnog just right.

    Now, if there are a bunch of gibberish stored on the device, and you want to start with a clean slate, you can tell the e200 to format the primary partition (where music, videos and photos are) automatically.  Click right while in the 16MB FORMAT box and select new folder.  RENAME it sansa.fmtfolder and the Sansa will follow this command after installing the firmware.

    Go to the task bar at the bottom of the screen and click the command remove device or eject the disc.  Again, WIndows like formatting of devices, it of eject you want, do not fit!

    Unplug, and restore your e200!  Slide the HOLD switch to the left.

    Let me know how it goes, since the Bobster has other tricks in the bag.  This one should do the trick.

    Oh, I forgot.  You're not a fool.

  • No sound from radio Sansa Express

    I was in the middle of listening to the radio on a Sansa Express 1 GB player and when I tried to change to another game before all of a sudden there was no noise coming from the drive.  I went to the music and who played well.

    Has anyone else encountered this problem before?  How can I fix this without having to send it back to the company?

    Another thing: the big square button does not respond well to the presses when the player is in radio mode.  Not sure if this is related to the problem of radio itself.

    I tried the up button, but that didn't work.  However, your comment prompted me to press some other buttons and eventually I realized that the play button doesn't actually control toggle functionality.  Thank you, keberloo.
