I had some music and videos on my mp3player but then one time after trying to add music to it i noticed that all of the music i had had been deleted. The weird thing is that I'm am still able to access my videos and recordings on my mp3player. I tried to put music back onto it but my music folder was gone. I made a new music folder and put music in that but the music didn't show up on my mp3player when i tried to listen to it. Also, I get a message every time I turn it on: "Not enough space for music DB. Please free 6mb" even though i deleted almost everything off of my mp3player so I am pretty sure that memory space is not a problem. The only things that I did to my mp3player to cause any problems was that i reseted it using the reset all button and i think i disconnected it from my computer improperly.
The same with me it just did that and now it can't do anthing exsept listen to the radio! The same with me it just did that and now it can't do anthing exsept listen to the radio!

These are the most common methods for recovering Sandisk's Sansa Mp3 Players. I have been almost universally successful in recovering Sansa players using one or a combination of these methods. These methods do not work if you are having synchronization or music format issues - they are for recovering a player that will not power up, freezes, flashes, is not recognized by the computer, and a host of other issues.
Reset the Sansa Player first. On most models, restart is done by holding the power button in for 15 seconds or longer. Check your specific manual to be sure. The manuals are available from the Sansa website if they have been misplaced. Download the Sansa Recovery Tool from the Sansa website. Format - Erases Everything: Connect your Sansa player to the computer and open Windows Media Player. Click on the Sync tab. Pull down the drop down menu underneath the Sync tab by moving your cursor over the Sync tab and left clicking on the little black arrow underneath the Sync tab. Highlight "Sansa 1GB" (wording may vary slightly), and then select "Format." - this should erase everything. Firmware Upgrade- Erases Everything: Get the latest firmware upgrade from Sansa - it updates the firmware and erases every song in the player all at once. Note: this method doesn't work if already have the latest firmware. Go to this website and click "Firmware Updater" to find out: http://www.sandisk.com/DriverDownload/driverList.asp If these fail, then: Try this: disconnect the player from the computer, turn it off, hold in the volume + button, and reconnect the player to the computer while holding the volume + button in. Keep holding the volume + button for an additional 5-50 seconds. Windows should eventually go into recovery mode and revive the player- it will pop up a window that says Found New Hardware Wizard. If you get the problem where MTP Device keeps popping up continuously, uninstall the “MTP Device” by going to Start à Control Panel àSystem à Hardware à Device Manager (you computer may vary slightly, depending on Windows Version). You may have to restart your computer after each of these methods to get them to work properly. Disconnect your Sansa player BEFORE shutting down your computer. -Tha Mp3 Doctor

It's pretty simple once you know how. I'm assuming you have general knowledge of a computer, basically connect the mp3 to the computer either directly or using the USB cable. Go to My Computer and that should show you your MP3 player, but it may be recognized as a Removable disc (doesn't matter if it does). Then if you have music already stored on the computer simply copy and paste or drag and drop onto the MP3/Removable disc.
The same with me it just did that and now it can't do anthing exsept listen to the radio!
