I was getting REALLY frustrated by trying to get the Fuze to work with Rhapsody. I finally found "Settings" on the Fuze, went "System Settings" -> "USB Mode" -> "MTP" (for music transfer protocol) and things started working fine after that.

I too had no luck with Rhapsody to go on the Sansa Fuze, after doing everything i could think of, firmware updates, installed windows updates, reinstalled Rhapsody, formatted my device. After too much frustration, i switched to Napster to go and it works perfectly. I like Rhapsody Unlimited but i need to be able to load my mp3 player up and i could never get Rhapsody to work at all with my mp3 Fuze. Rhapsody is best for those who want to listen online only, but Napster is best if you have an mp3 player you want to load up.

I have no problems with Rhapsody-2-Go with the Fuze (other than my general dislike of the Rhapsody software's tendency to crash). It supports channels and downloaded tracks with no problems.

Is the Rhapsody-to-Go w/ Sansa Fuze just like the $9.99/mo Rhapsody service w/ PC? Or is it more like iTunes in that if you want to take it with you then you would need to buy it per track/album?

we have had two sansa fuzes with no problems whatsoever with rhapsody to go either song, full cds or playlist, channels etc. just plug it in to the computer and it will show up on rhapsody and drag and drop

Hey David, thanks for that...after giving it another try, got rhapsody to go working using the method you described...pathetic though that the rhapsody software doesn't work the way it should without problems the way the napster software does.

Thank you, I called and spoke with someone at Rhapsody as well. I asked about the available service for the use of ipods. It was said to me that the older version ipods are not serviceable by Rhapsody. It was said to me only the newer ipods were accepted for service. I know this doesn't have to do with the Phillips but I figured any available information is helpful when in search of a gadget such as the mp3 player for the particular use on Rhapsody. Thank you for the info on the Phillips mp3. I am sure it will be very helpful to many people.

When I went to the go2Live website to download what was needed to use the game my computer stopped the download saying that some of the elements on the site could be fatal to my computer. I discontinued the download at that time and have been too afraid to continue. I've noticed the price of these items has gone down drastically and that makes me think they aren't a good product. I can't seem to find a review on them anywhere on the internet. I can't find anyone who has tried one either.

i had the 4gb zen and i loved it so much, i sold it to get a bigger capcity. this is a very cool player and for the price, you cant go wrong. as far as the sd card goes, it is kept seperate from the internal library, which is good and bad. i personally like them to be intergrated, but sounds like you want to keep them separate, which is good for you. its like having two separate libraries! for example, i put over 800 songs on the Zen and i had a 2gb sd card ( only $15 on amazon) which i was able to put almost 200 songs and around 8 tv shows. so if i wanted to watch an episode of say, House, i select sd card on the menu and voila! now all the content i stored on my sd card appears. but if your playing music from the internal library and select "sd card" the music will stop and now your in the sd card library. pretty easy and straight foward player. i havent used the Unbox service, i just used Slysoft software called Clone Dvd Mobile to convert my own dvds to generic avi? i forget, but you have to select 320x240 res. or it wont work. that is the max resolution the zen can take. but its very sharp and clear and everything worked fine for me on the zen. but i can imagine if you press too many buttons at once, it could result in the player freezing up and i have done it before. not on this Zen, but on my old ZVM and ZV. so i learned to just be patient when dealing with any pmp or dap. hope this answers your question. ps: you might want to contact Amazon about the Unbox service and the ZEN. i read it was compatible.

The Gigabeat supports divx 100% every sapec sheet produced by toshiba, and by every major review magazine back this up. So for 100% FACT it does support divx. As far as windows media player goes, if you're using version 11, which is a beta! Beta being an untested peice of software, then of course you are going to have issues some times! Go ahead and use version 10, which works with no problems whatso every. It also comes with it's own software, so you can choose which one you want to use. If you have any other questions feel free to reply to this post, I'll be keeping an eye on it. I hate it when non-technical people try to give definitive answes without going to the manufacturer, or other magazines. So take it from a tech, it works great, just as good if not better than our over advertised counterpart the ipod!

I use mine only to listen to books while swimming. My hour of laps go so fast!! I would think downloading music would be the same as downloading music. I use Overdrive Media Console - free app - download the book a want on my computer then plug the mp3 and click on the appropriate buttons. The first time I had to go to the library for help. Now it is a breeze.

That sux! I need my Rhapsody to go. And I know you say it works, but I wouldnt want to go through the crap if it doesnt for some reason. I also had a Zen for about a year and had to hit the reset button about 100 times. This one sounds cool, but not worth the risk.

I actually purchased the wall adapter charger for the USB cable today. Its by COBY as well (though you can use it for any MP3 just about I am sure). I purchased it because I dont want to have to turn my computer on whenever this MP3 PLAYER needs to be charged. It is actually only $8 dollars (was $12.00) must be on sale or something, so Its not even as EXPENSIVE as some of the more expensive MP3 PLAYER WALL CHARGERS. I hear its great. i am hoping it charges faster than the computer.

Based on the information provided they both seem to do exactly the same thing. The 2 go looks better to me. I find the play button on mine a little difficult to depress. One thing they both say they do, "...safekeeping of precious audio in a future-proof, portable .MP3 format," mine does not make MP3 files. It creates .wav files that have to be converted to .mp3 format using iTunes or some other converter.

this unit is costing more, however, you only get what you pay for. I love this unit cause this provides my puter with a great back up to my playing music. Never go out on the job w/o BACK UP!!! Now I have 2 units, one 8 GB and the other 16 GB. I can program an evenings music on either and not have to worry about losing any part of my commitment. I say, "go for it".

amazon mp3 dowload center works, just make sure you have the zune software looking for music in the folder amazon downloads to. The napster homepage lists zune as a compatable device, so it should also work, though iI have not tried it. I strongly suggest trying out the zune pass from zune marketplace. 15 bucks a month gets you 99% of the music in the entire marketplace. Truly remarkable if you are buying 2 albums per month anywhere else (including amazon). I only use amazon if zune marketplace doesn't offer the album. Hope this helps, happy holidays!

I have had my fuze for about 6 months and it is working well for me. I use it mostly for audiobooks. When I turn my fuze off and back on the audiobook I was listening to it asks me if I want to resume playback and it goes to the place where I was. The only time it doesn't ask is if I take the memory card out and reinstall it. This is my third sansa mp3 player and I have given them to others. I have only had one bad one.I had a e240,e280 and now the fuze. I love it.I like the fuze narrower profile.Check and make sure you have the most current updates

My player quit playing . Would not start playing CD;s or would skip tracks. (It is 6 months old) I took it in to authorized TEAC dealer who told me it would be $151.00 to fix unless I could show proof of purchase receipt. I purchased it in May 2015, however when we checked the plate on the back of the unit, it showed it was manufactured in 2013 !!!!!!!!!!! Been sitting on a shelf for two years ???? . Now I have to find a proof of purchase to cover warranty or pay for repair out of pocket. Looks like it is cheaper to buy new one !I have a model RW-890 player/recorder and NEVER have a problem with it ! My player quit playing . Would not start playing CD;s or would skip tracks.

Yes you do. And it can get expensive. Beware. They will give you a deal for 6 months and you sign to automatic 1 year renewals unless you cancel BEFORE it takes effect. Frankly their programming stinks also. I usually don't even listen to it now when they have a free week. I bought a soundfly from Amazon and just used mp3 files from my CD collection and have a better choice of music anyway. I LOVE the soundfly. I HATE XM after Sirius destroyed it.

Gregory: I think the free trial is a great idea on Pandora's part- I know that it is worth it to me to continue. Iespecially like how you can create your own stations so easily. Or you can find others that have been seeded for you-Blue Note records has seeded several jazz stations that are fantastic.How will I know when the time is up- will the Pandora simply stop working?Chuck

I had trouble syncing the Sansa with rhapsody and my computer. My computer would not recognize the sansa. Rapport would download but I could never get all of my music to play.
