Not working 1gb sansa clip

Remove the microSD card, then connect the Sansa to your computer. Delete one or more files (music, photos, videos) until you free up the required amount of memory.

It happened to me after I formatted my Sansa into a NTFS file system. This is how I solved it:
1) Connect your Sansa to the PC (if the player won't turn on try hold the middle-button while you're connecting it).
2) On My computer right-click the player and choose Format (make sure it's set to FAT32).
3) Now you can turn on your player normally - when you're inside the player menu choose Settings->Format. This will re-create all the player sub folders (music, audiobooks etc).

That's it...
Hope that work for you too... ^_^'

the music db is corrupted...try formatting the player...if tht doesnt help,try upgrading the firmware

try freeing up some space on it. if that doesn't work try only putting mp3 files on it.

my sansa clip will turn on but then it says not enough space for musicdb please free 30mb how do i do that and when i hook it up to my systeam to look at the music files it show nothing please help

Wait For The Battery To Die Down Then Plug It Into The Computer And Format It

Had this same problem. You need to lock turn off the player. put it into the locked mode and hold down the middle button before plugging it in. Then back up and reformat.

Detailed instructions I found were here:
Frozen sansa clip

You should format the device using windows media player or the device itself..that should fix the problem you are having..remember formatting will delete all the date you have on the device..
I hope that helps
Please rate accordingly
Thank you

The Sansa m250 requires a separate folder to load your songs to in order to achieve the full 2 GB. Set your USB to MSC. Plug it into your computer. Create a folder TUNES. Then drag and drop your mp3 or wma files to this new folder.
