I was able to transfer about 60 MP3's to my SanDisk Zip but the volume is so low that I can barely hear it. Is this how they all are?

I don't think so. The volume on the one I bought (and subsequently returned) was good, but the music cut out quite a lot with even the slightest movement.

I added a 32 G card and have over 4,000 songs with plenty of space left. If you download a lot of your music you will notice a difference in volume from song to song. But I have not had a problem with volume on mine but try difference headphones as sometimes that will make a difference. My only fault is boot up time is sometimes very long, like several minutes if the unit has been off for a while.

The volume on my SanDisk gets pretty loud even when I don't have it turned up all the way. It's possible that the original MP3 files are of low quality if they were ripped a long time ago. I know that a lot of MP3s that I ripped from CDs a decade or more ago and have transferred from old computers to new computers have either progressively degraded in quality (copying isn't always perfect) or were never good to begin with due to ancient ripping technology. Try adjusting the volume on the SanDisk. If that doesn't help, then try listening to the files on your computer to see if the problem is with the file. If the files are fine, then delete them from the SanDisk and put them back on using Windows Media Player rather than dragging and dropping them into the folder that opens when you plug it in.

I have never had any problem with volume on my SanDisk Clip player. But then, I mainly use it to listen to podcasts and audiobooks. Still, I can turn the sound up louder than comfortable.

hmmm thanks for all the points y'all. this will help a lot of people too. By the way. speaking of FLAC I'm now looking into it. (I'm on the Mac.)How do you get your FLAC files? Do you rip them from CDs? also... I assume that it makes no sense to buy mp3s (lets say on iTunes) and then convert to FLAC as the mp3 is of lesser quality. Therefore to have FLAC files you would have to buy all your music on CD am I correct?if I can only buy iTunes music then hopefully the 256kbps files they sell will do these cans justice.Please enlighten me because having higher quality audio will definitely help my HD595s deliver their best.

I AM SHOCKED! No one has mentioned WMA format.The player's limit is 320kpbs with any format, and 64kbps on WMA is around the same quality as 320k on MP3, especially using earphones. I have converted 320k mp3 files into 64k wma files without noticing a difference. It's a shame if you put MP3s into this player.

I am having problems getting songs to load from Windows Media to this card. Is there some sort of conversion needed to have this work in my Sansa Fuze?

I have tried both a Sandisk 32GB and then a 64GB card and the player has recognized it. However, I do see a little bit of a slow down accessing the larger disk. I think this has more to do with the player needing to list the larger number of files and also load thumbnails if it is a picture directory. This may just be overloading the poor little player's processing abilities!

I can't answer the question as I've never recorded any tracks onto a SD card so don't know if the volume is an issue on mine or not.

All USB-A thumb drives have worked. Make sure they are formatted as FAT (mine are FAT32). Put one MP3 file on the drive, plug the drive into the box, switch the box input to USB and it should start playing automatically after it reads the contents of the drive. If you have a lot of songs/directories on the thumb drive, it can take a long time to read it.

Please check what format your music is in. If it's mp3 than you are okay, check if your sd card or sd card reader is functional

Check out what Sandisk sent me this solved my problem! Sign up for their "Ebox" and you'll get an email like this:Go to their website and download their "Firmware Updater" Then once you have that installed, switch your "USB MODE" to whichever you're not using to transfer music. Then plug it in to the computer, go to "My Computer" and right-click on "Sansa" and click "Format" THIS WILL CLEAN THE WHOLE MP3 PLAYER. Then you run the "Firmware updater" that you downloaded and it should update to the newest settings. Then just switch your "USB MODE" back and transfer music/vids/whatever.Hope this helps Check out what Sandisk sent me this solved my problem!

i know you can paste it into media player, which i would think would transfer to your mp3. i have burned a disc, so it should go to mp3.

Hey thank you very much for your info. Is there any better MP3 players? Like which ones?Thank you once again!

Try downloading a converter program. Convert your mp3s to .wav format then import.

Unless there has been an update, it will only recognize up to 32gb. If you are not using extremely large files there is no need for it. The player will only "see" up to 8000 files. It Has a cap of 4000 mp3 or audio files and 4000 other files. I have heard of people "hacking" the device to remove the file limits, but I'm not that good with computers and such and didn't want to risk damaging mine. I have a little over 2000 mp3s on mine and it has taken up about 16gb. I have heard of some people having luck with larger sd cards but some do not, it's hit and miss depending on what software version it has I guess. I have a 32gb for mine but have never used it.

(It's about a year since this was posted, but I thought someone might find this useful.)I have a SanDisk Sansa m240 1gb. I really like the player because of the easy-to-usecontrols and the replaceable single AAA battery (I use a rechargeable NiMh battery).BUT the voice recorder has a flaw. About every 10 seconds it skips about 1/8 of a second.For an every-day memo this isn't much of a problem. But I've recorded lectures and listeningto it afterwards gets to be very annoying.

I couldn't find a way to do so. I needed to remove the music from folders in order to play them. You could use separate memory cards I suppose.

You can connect it to almost all the mp3. Does you mean put the mp3 in it? No, it just connects mp3 outside. And the quality of this is not so good, at least for me.

I also have a 8 GB SD and well I have it set up on folders and it plays every track on it pretty well just make sure you seek the menu button if its on a different folder just put them together to get the rest of the tracks hope this helps tho
