• Sansa Clip CODEC used in original Firmware

  I want to know if sansa firmware using the mp3 decoder under license from Fraunhofer IIS, such as listed in the manual booklet.

  is this true?

  even with the iPod which using the same decoder...

  No, this is not correct.  The choice of the decoder is not quality.  They all produce essentially the same result, without taking into account some rounding errors.  If you have a difference between the two firmwares, its probably not the codec.  Have you tried running RMAA to measure?

  Lame is typically used as an encoder, not a decoder.  It encodes more effectively files into MP3s, but that has nothing to do with actually reading a file.

  My guess is that they will not update firmware Clip + still once.  But if the battery indicator is not linear that probably means that your battery is a little weird, and a software update is unlikely to fix it.

• Sansa Fuze Rockbox. Version question.

  Hey guys and girls, I need help desiphering if it is possible to install Rockbox on my Sansa Fuze special. My version is listed in my info like: V01.02.28a

  It's an old Sansa, but I've updated fairly regularly. Countless FAQ told me that the Sansa fuze V2 is incompatible with Rockbox. and if I would try to apply it on the wrong version, I want to brick my machine. But as says the version, version 01.Intro, so I ask someone here who has more experience with this sort of thing to help me.

  Thank you.

• Sansa Fuze 4 G v.2.02.28a wrong with gel, formatted and reinstalled the firmware

  My sansa fuze has been freezing since update firmware a couple of months.  Sometimes he would set himself, when I rebooted, but it gets progressively worse.

  Today it froze to the homescreen as usual, but I could not turn on after I restarted several times, after many trials, I could connect to my pc without the "rocket" freezing at the login screen. I decided to format it through my pc and I also reformatted it on the player as well. I have not reformatted it since adapting if I was trying to avoid having my deleted files. Meanwhile, I looked in the forums to apply solutions that have worked for others in the same situation.

  Here are some of my problems I think to make this kind of odd. Windows tells me is no longer a memory, internal and external, it reads the interns as F: drive and the external slot as drive G:

  Also, I have a napster to Go account that I use for a year now synchronized with this player and he wrote the unit (the "rocket") is not compatible, and I tried the update of napster to see if that was the problem, but napster has been giving me trouble since the new update with the firmware of the rocket. However, now I am not able to re - download my music files without paying the full price for one without a subscription.

  I think that the problem comes from the "rocket" as opposed to my napster account. Any information on this would be great.

  Thanks in advance.

  Have you tried switching USB (Settings/System Settings/USB Mode) mode to PSG?

  If not, why not roll back manually. Just unzip the firmware.26 and drop the .bin file in the drive of the rocket.

• Sansa Fuze Firmware Download(doesn't synchronize)

  Hi, new here, just got a sansa fuze 8 GB, but when I download SansaUpdater and install it, it gives me an error saying it couldn't find direction or path for the ¨SansaUpdaterInstal / tmp.htm¨...

  someone with the same problem or knows about it... help please!

  thnx!

  You are going to spend more time install and try to get the Sansa Updater works properly, then if just manually update you the firmware by yourself. Instructions are still in the release notes for the firmware.

• When my sansa fuze can have games?

  I need now when my sansa fuze can have games and in what version of firmware, if you can?

  large in size, type Comic without side, you bought an mp3 player, not a game device. It is designed to play music, video and photos.

  There is a program called "rockbox" that offers a selection of game plugins, but it is not available for the "rocket" yet because the firmware doesn't support, or something like that.

• How can I customize my desktop wallpaper? [For a Sansa Fuze]

  I just got my Sansa [Fuze] last Sunday and I really like it, but I was not able to customize my desktop wallpaper.  You can download wallpapers various yourself, or do you go to a special Web site?

  [I only have one color and the Blue]

  Have you updated to the latest firmware (01.01.15) published a few weeks ago? You should have 6 different colors. They are under SETTINGS > SYSTEM SETTINGS > WALLPAPER (top of registration page). They were all solid colors; not very interesting. Unfortunately, there is no way to customize yourself until the moment where the Rockbox people break the code. SanDisk can do something in a future update, but I doubt it.

• Does not recognize Sansa Fuze 8 GB SanDisk 4 GB or 8 GB of MicroSD cards

  I tried 2 MicroSD cards sizes in my Sansa Fuze player. I tried the MTP and MSC Usb mode and none indicate the existence of additional flash memory in the Explorer. The firmware version is V01.01.22A. I saw the second listed MicroSD card once in Explorer, but he showed no memory (0 bytes). It is formatted in FAT32. I'm looking for suggestions. Thank you!

  I'm not the least insulted. If this field doesn't make you humble, nothing will...

  Well, I finally fixed it! I must admit that it was the network of error type are often people. We always say our studnets to remember the PHYSICAL LAYER of the network. You know "is the network card plugged? No, really, unplug it and plug it back in then! "Well, I'm not going to eat crow on this one, it'll be a RAVENset! I should have more carefully listen to your advice. I slipped originally partially microSD card in the unit and it remained in place (I had to tap it to remove it from the device). Today, I played with her and you press the harder SD micro card UNTIL THE OUTSIDE EDGE WAS RINSE WITH THE SURFACE OF THE SANSA FUZE! That solved the problem. I didn't know that it had to be squeezed so forcefully! Antother lesson learned...

  Tanks for all your comments!

• Sansa fuze + ignores mp3 tags

  Hi guys I just got my sansa fuze + (8 GB) and apply the 01.27.02 firmware update. Later, I download a file from my collection, but the sansa doesn't recognize all the tags of tracks. I don't know if it's a name of file or any other problem. For example, I have in my coldplay album

  drwxrwxrwx 2 tuxtor 4096 tuxtor 2010-09-27 00:41 (2002) A Rush of Blood To The Head
  drwxrwxrwx 2 tuxtor 4096 tuxtor 2010-09-27 00:49 castles
  drwxrwxrwx 2 tuxtor 4096 tuxtor 2010-01-06 01:30 Parachutes [2000]
  drwxrwxrwx 2 tuxtor 4096 tuxtor 2010-09-27 00:41 Viva La Vida or death and all his friends

  I'm sure that all the files have the good tags (I can see it in amarok, banshee, etc.), but in the sansa I can watch Parachutes and Viva vida La or dead... the other albums appear with the album unknown and artist unknown.

  I'd be willing to bet that they don't.

  ID3v2.3 ISO-8859-1 is the format of the desired ID3 tags. If you use Linux, I suppose that whatever program you are using is not written this tag format. There was more here before with the same scenario.

• Freezing Sansa Fuze problem

  I have a 4 GB Sansa Fuze with the latest firmware and after about 6 months, he started to have this problem of gel. I don't know what happened exactly, but I unplugged it from my PC once, and when he went to 'Media refreshing' just of freezes and does not load. And now, when I plug it into my PC, it freezes on the screen that says 'Written' and hangs whenever I log on my user account. I believe that this is due to a damaged file from when I had a virus problem, however, because when it connects to my PC, it won't let me format.

  Thanks for the suggestions guys, but I could get my rocket using my Xbox 360 work. That's what I did:

  (1) I have connected to the USB cable from the "rocket" and then connected it to the USB for 360.

  (2) I went to my Xbox, the Control Panel, memory

  (3) I clicked the USB storage device and you click on configure to 360 (to 256 MB)

  The Xbox managed to erase all data, including files that never seemed to corrupt, and got, it works again. You may want to format again when you use your PC, or install a new firmware, because the device has been configured for Windows use after you configure it the 360

• How to delete songs that came on my Sansa Fuze?

  My Sansa Fuze came with 19 songs on what I want to delete but I don't know how.  When I plug in my Sansa Fuze in my computer the songs do not appear on my computer but they are on the device when I use it.  They are not in the 'Music' folder or any folder when I manage the device to my computer.  Can someone tell me how to remove these unwanted songs?

  If you don't have any other music/photos/videos etc.  on the "rocket", or you have copies that you are ready to transfer again, the best way to get rid of these songs is to format the "rocket" that erases all content (but does not change its integrated software). Settings from settings/system/Format.

  Or if you have a friend with a new Windows computer, you can see the songs and delete them yourself.

  Why can't you see these songs? It's a long story, but a bit simple.

  The "rocket" has two modes USB, MSC and MTP (Settings/System Settings/USB Mode). They have two different lines in the "rocket" and your computer can only read one at a time. (The "rocket" sees it bit any mode).

  The songs of the sample were transferred in MTP mode. But your computer connects via MSC - my favorite - mode so it cannot see them.

  MSC treats the "rocket" as a generic flash drive. You can drag and drop manually, or if you want you can use Winamp or Media Monkey to sync things.

  MTP allows the "rocket" be controlled - sync, etc. - by Windows Media Player 10 or higher. It allows also WMP transmit codes DRM (Digital Rights Muck) hidden-in-the-user for things like the songs protected against copying and audiobooks that expire. Probably not, you use those.

  The idea was to have the equivalent of iTunes/iPod of coordination for the majority of users - but also for the greater freedom and control of Maritime safety, if a user wants to change. No Windows, on Mac or Linux users, find yourself on MSC as well.  The only real requirement for MTP mode is for DRM files.

  On a computer that has Windows Meda Player 10 or higher, Auto Detect mode the "rocket of" (the third choice in Settings/System Settings/USB Mode) - which is what the "rocket" uses unless you changed it - connects in MTP mode and these songs will be visible and removable. That's why it would be simpler to use PC a friend Windows - Vista, Windows 7, etc.

  The original Windows XP comes with Windows Media Player 9 - a too old version for PSG. If you are running XP you could update WMP (via support.microsoft.com) to empty these songs. Then, you must return to the MSC (not Auto Detect) and do all what you did previously to transfer your music., you'll have all your visible songs by you.

• Can the Sandisk Sansa Fuze 4 GB MP3 read podcasts one after the other

  For health reasons, I need to take a long walk after each meal.  For many years during my walks that I listened to podcasts on my wonderful old Sandisk sansa, who plays a podcast after the other without action from me until I have stop.  It's perfect here in the North when I walk in 30 below zero weather. I mean that I don't want to open my parka and out the player to move to the next podcast.  If I had to do, they would find me lying in the snow, Frost, like all the rest of those poor Devils who bought the wrong MP3 player.  Anyway, after years of using the plug-in on my old Sansa fuze is pretty much exhausted and the player must be replaced.  I buy a sansa clip, but had to return when I discovered that he has not played podcasts one after the other, automatically. (And it's also too small for my needs).  Before you buy a new 4 GB sansa fuse, so I need to know if this greatest player will play my podcasts consecutively and one after the other.  Your advice would be much appreciated.

  I currently use the Sansa e250 2 GB MP3 Fuze player Walkman.

  There is an e250 (2 GB) and a rocket. They are 2 totally different players. The "rocket" (original) replaced the e200 series model.

  But if your podcasts are placed in the Podcast folder (or even record Audio books) and then ranked in the same "Album" folder, they must play consecutively without stopping, regardless of the model of reader.

• Impossible to copy files to the Sansa Fuze using Windows 7 (drag and drop, or Windows Media Player)

  Hello

  Yesterday, I bought the Sansa Fuze and I have problems copying files to the device using either Windows Media Player (Sync) or Drag and Drop (Explorer).

  The symptoms are:

  (1) the device is recognized and available in Windows 7 (Series USB MSC - sorry don't have it with me right now)

  (2) took me to upgrade to the latest firmware, which has worked flawlessly

  (3) when I try to drag and drop a file on the device (I use Windows 7, 64-bit), it starts, but doesn't seem to calculate the size of the files or waiting time to download correctly.  It is followed by a slow progressive, until the computer crashes, resulting in a constant 100% of the CPU.  The only solution is a hard reboot

  (4) when you use Windows WM, the device is recognized, okay and the synchronization starts, but it then stops without reason.  Once again, the processor springs and requires a reboot

  (5) using the results 3 and 4 in 1-5 files being copied across, but not more.

  (6) I tried several albums and one album at a time, but cannot determine if that makes a difference.

  Help, please!

  See you soon,.

  Richard

  It may be a bug in Windows 7. But one thing to try is to go to the Device Manager (assuming that Windows 7 still has), uninstall the "rocket" (under USB controllers), and then run add hardware to find and reinstall the driver.

  Use the MTP with Windows Media Player mode, MSC mode without.

• Sansa Fuze not set option

  I spent my sansa fuze and realized that the setting on the homescreen option wasn't there. I tried to reset by holding down the power button for 15 seconds and it always comes out the same, I don't think it's resseting anything. Is there any solution for this?

  I think stores have a "demo Mode" which prevents clients from mess up the settings. Try to reload the firmware manually, the regions all the link to the thread to the top of the page.
