I've worked mine out.
When I put the songs on my MP3 I used Vista, I then changed to an XP install and this is when I couldn't see the songs on my MP3 player.
When I went back to my Vista install I could see and edit the songs.
Now I have cleaerd it I can go back to my XP install and use it as normal again.
Basically you need to use the same version of windows you put the songs on with to edit them.

hey u keep pressing the on/off button for a while then again insert ur sansa in usb port of ur comp ... it started working for me after that !!!

go to my computer. click on your mp3 player. right click. select format.this will remove everything except your opperating files.

Cards > 2GB are MicroSDHC cards. Your player and reader will have to be compatible with HC cards to use it.

Make sure it is unplugged and press the power button (menu) and hold for 2 seconds, it will say good bye.

I just purchased this model for my boyfriend, had a hell of a time trying to figure it out, but after doing numerous google searches, I figured out that you have to place the lock/unlock or "hold" on some models into the lock position, then hold down the rewind button DON'T LET GO UNTIL THE PC RECOGNIZES IT!! It should work. I downloaded all the firmware and stuff I could (not even sure what firmware is... lol... just did it cuz that's what I read to do). Once I did this, it picked it up within 60 secnods and now my PC recognizes it everytime I plug it in. I was up unitl 1am this morning trying to get the darn thing to be recognized... I hope this saves you some sleep! LOL

Your battery most likely isn't good any more. They're not designed to sit around for very long periods unused. The cheapest way to remedy this is probably to either get one from ebay with a broken screen and salvage the battery from it (the back cover just slides right off and you can pop the battery out) or right now buy.com has c240's for 12.99 w/free shipping (they're refurb units) and you can use the battery in either player and you'll also have a backup player.

Make sure that Windows Explorer is configured to display hidden and system files. Open the "My Computer" icon on the desktop; select menu "Tools: Folder Options..."; select the "view" tab; select the "Show hidden files and folders".

If that doesn't work, try formating the Sansa C240. Press the "Menu" button, scroll down and select "System Info", scroll down and select "Format".
It should erase the flash memory and create the required folders.

Turn on the mp3
go to settings
go to system settings
then go to USB MODE
try first setting "AUTO DETETECT"
IF THAT DOES NOT WORK TRY MTP
AND THEN MSC

ONE OF THOSE SETTINGS WILL WORK..
WHAT WINDOS OPERATING SYS ARE YOU USING?

If you have windows 98, you probably have older than windows media player 10. You need windows media player 10 or newer, as it says on the package in the fine print. I had windows media layer 9, and I had to use my sister's computer to work with my player. I know its frustrating!!!

well you just have to setting and language is the fifth opcion get in the languages and just set it to english hope it helps =)

Uhhh...I THINK you can grab all ur songs off ur mp3 player on th webstie and put it in ur library then sync it without any songs on it...I am not sure if that will work...but it might...i do not even have a mp3 player...i just have an ipod...lol

you can use any of those media programs to sync music on but when you want to put videos on pictures on you have to use the sandisk sansa converter software.

try to locate the settings of your mp3 player and reset it to its factory settings and thats it.

you using media player 10 or above ? or you could just change mode on player to mtp and drag and drop !
