Sandaisk Sansa MP3 Player: Anybody know how I can counteract this?

Judith, I have several Sansa Sandisk players. I usually listen to all types of music, soft instrumental to hard rock. Sometimes I sync whole CDs to my players and at times I just put several hundred songs/tracks on them for variety. There is the possibility that you have your player set with the "Shuffle" option on. To cancel this, turn it on, select "Play Music", scroll to "Settings", select "Playback", make sure "Shuffle" is OFF. This may or may not solve your problem. I hope it helps. Jason

This MP3 player sucks. I use it for working out and I still hate it. Get a Sansa if you're looking for a cheap MP3 player that will play audiobooks.

To update this, there's a possibility that it's just inappropriately hard to push the plug in all the way the first time. I'm checking out the Sandisk forums and it is an occasional question there: http://forums.sandisk.com/sansa/board/message?board.id=clip&message.id=19340&query.id=178666#M19340 I am going to try to force it in further tonight - beyond all reasonable expectations of how hard one should have to push a headphone jack in - don't really care if it breaks because if it doesn't work I'm going to send it back anyway. So I've nothing to lose.

This player looks great, but if the battery life is short and not replacable, then it become very disappointing. Questions:What is the life expectancy of the battery (within the two year coverage)?You can't send it to Sansa and get it replaced?

Heres a link to the web site that Sandisk recomends to buy products for your player. In fact--it is important to use one of the listed sites that Sandisk has partnered with for accessories. Had to do this myself this week :) http://www.sandisk.com/Products/Catalog(1200)-Made_for_Sansa_Accessories.aspx

Is there anyone who can answer alpinecow's question? Also, I heard that the Sandisk Sansa will not play chapters in proper order. Is this still the case?

Despite SANSA advertising differently and apparently also in contrast to earlier versions the newest version with Firmware 3.01.11A does not play audio books in an acceptable manner. You may be able to put them on your player but there is no bookmarking capability so they do not restart where you left off and the fast forward function cannot/will not skip forward more than about 5 minutes and resume play. Whats worse is the player says in its digital readout it is starting where you left off but just goes back to the beginning anyway. I contacted Sansa support about this and their response was the e280 and other players in this series weren't meant to do books but I could buy a Sansa View and it would work correctly. In my opinion, they disabled what was a functioning player with the new firmware because they brought out the new and more expensive Sansa View. If you really want this for books it isn't the right player. I am sending mine back because I bought it for the same reason.

I don't own this product (yet...), but I know to fast forward with an iPod you press the middle button and then move your finger clockwise on the touch-pad. Maybe it's the same with the Sansa? Try it out and let me know. :)

I had it 3.5 hours before it froze on me. Wouldn't ever get past the SANSA logo screen after that. I would not recommend you get another of any of the M200 series at all. The discussions on them are the same as here. The M240 is filled with more like this. It's a bug in the production process or something. I wonder how many have had the same problem but not posted or given a review?

Christopher, There was no snide, since I am not the seller, but a buyer! I´m using a 32gb mini sdcard that I loaded music to before placing it into the Sansa device that I purchased online from Amazon. I don´t on a Radio slot card, and I´m sorry for your confusion. Peace!

I Just got a sansa e260 from Amazon.com Thurday... It keeps losing one channel or the other,over and over again . You don't have to touch a thing and it drops off on about a quarterof the songs.. It looks like I got a defective player. If I do I'll get a refund . Seem like all Sandisk products are defective in some way...

I don't know if it is different but pay $10 more and get sansa mp3 player. This thing will die in a few days ... You will waste your money :(

I've used my Sansa for years, charging it only when the battery is completely drained and it still holds a charge for days of playing. You might try connecting it to a PC and checking the settings. Sometimes the memory can get overloaded which will freeze up the Clip causing it to shut down. Possibly try a full reset by pressing and holding the Power/Menu button for approximately 20 seconds, then release. Count to five then press the power button to turn it back on.

As long as those speakers have a standard headphone plug (3.5 mm) at the end, you should be all set. Just plug it in the headphone jack on the Sansa, and you're all done. You may want to turn up the volume all the way on the Sansa, but control the volume on the portable speakers. This assures maximum sound quality.

Is this still the case? The Device Center at Audible suggests that the Sansa e200v2 series is compatible. I'm looking at buying a player that will run Audible files and prefer this one if it is compatible. Thanks!

don't format! the radio probably isn't broken; you probably just "paused" it. you can tell if there's a square shaped icon under the station ... would be a lot less confusing if they used the standard "||" pause symbol ... hit "|| >" and you should play fine. ALSO, there's a sansa forum out there ... now we know

You would have to stop/start your Mp3 player. The SainSonic doesn't control it.
