Anyone else have trouble with the USB MP3 database? If I build a database, and hit yes to save it, every time I restart the car the database is gone.

Yeah what's up with that? I'm having the same issue. iPod recently stolen and have been using a USB stick. Guess I'm gonna have to write Pioneer unless I find a solution online. Let me know if you do and I will do the same.

Make sure the cable is fully inserted in the MMI, that's what happened to me. Also make sure your thumb drive doesnt have any type of security and that it contains valid mp3 files. Other than that you could have gotten a faulty cable. The cable works great on my 2013 Audi Q5 which I suspect should be de same audio system (not completely sure).

It will not randomly play, However when you load your flash drive there is a way I mixed most of my music up so that's its fairly random.I believe it can handle as big a flash drive as you want.I seldom happens but on two or three occasions( over a six month period) it has locked up my radio where I will have to disconnect the battery and let the Honda radio reset.Hope that helps.

It does not show up in my file explorer as a drive. It shows up as exactly what it is, Sansa View, with an icon that resembles a generic mp3 player with headphones. There is no (*:\) anything tagged on at all.Looking into the system settings I see nothing that allows me to change any USB options. In fact, there are absolutely no options for changing the way the device interfaces with a computer.Hope this helps.~BS~

The readme file isn't clear (at least to me) that this is about building on the fly playlists with just the mp3 player. The way I read it this is about building playlists without using WMP on your computer and then transferring them to the player...am I missing something?

I never tried to connect to the car, but it has a headphone jack. So it should connect the same as any other MP3.

Sounds like Sam W J found yet another problem with this MP3 player. Both of mine failed and the USB was not disconnected. Also there was no way to tell if there was a 0 byte file on the player because the computer couldn't see the player.In the meantime I'm using my Creative Zen Nano Plus -- transfering old cassette tapes, Recording FM radio programs, as well as using it for all the features of the Sansa. It's menu is quite different but all in all it's a better player.

The system folder was corrupted on my 1-day-old e280. It would not run, and said it needed 6MB for the database. Running chkdsk with the fix option fixed the problem, and left all music files intact.

Menu functions don't work for me either. I get volume, start-stop, and track jump forward & back. I'm using an original Mini, with 32 GB Compact Flash drive, and an older 60 GB classic style, from before they called it the 'Classic'. Perhaps it works with the newer models.

My computer (WIN 7) couldn't see this thing either. I don't think this MP3 player has any internal memory, which is why it doesn't show up under external drives. I uploaded music to a microSD, then inserted it into the MP3 player, and it worked fine. However, my overall feeling is that this MP3 player is a complete POS

Same problem here. When backing up my music and photos I kept getting this error message, now I'm thinking the hard drive might be dead. Hope I can recover my backed up files.

I am still having difficulties with the USB Cassette working. I thought it was me, but a friend that is really savy in recording said that the USB Cassette is stopping during play back. Now I will need to find how to get a replacement. Waited a long time for this one to arrive only to find out it is partially inoperative.

same problam. no solution. even no replay from sandiskLook like that is a fatal bug in Sansa. If file transfer disturb in the middle (USB cable disconnect, etc..) that create corrupted files in the memory and player could not recognize those files. (very common thing with any USB device). But this player instead of skipping the file, keep on loop over same function.This product must recall.

Every time you start the engine, the video starts on new session or file. If you continue driving for say one hour, it will create new file every few minutes. Depend on size of the USB thumb drive, e.g. if yours is 20GB, then it will accumulate many files for many hours, and I think when all 20GB is filled then it will start writing over the oldest file automatically. My 20GB thumb drive is not full yet because I often remove my dashboard camera to avoid exposing to southern CA sun light and heat and forgot to mount it back. Other customers maybe able to confirm this. Kenny

I am not sure at all, outside my expertise. I loaded my own music (Jimmy Buffett) on a USB stick, it has been running for months non-stop.

Hi Download songs from your PC/laptop etc.or where ever you can to your usbstick/pen drive. Its not vital but the most important thing is the USB stick or Pen drive must be a 2GB one, not more than that. Otherwise it won't work on this system.Thanks.Ajay
