I'm new at mp3 players and don't know what I'm doing. I got an mp3 player (SanDisk m230) from my daughter and its full of music files already, and I want to transfer them from the player to my computer for use by Windows Media Player. I'm not even sure if I can do this as the computer seems to not be able to see the files that I know are there. Does anyone have an explanation of what's going on and if there is a remedy?
If the files are not on the PC, Windows Media Player will not see them. You can manually manage the music from My Computer. Double-click on the device name Sansa m230 and you can see the files and folder. You can just drag and drop these onto your computer to save them. You might also want to format the device to remove everything and give you a clean slate. Right Click on Sansa m230 and select format. Best of Luck.

My computer still doesn't see the files. Do you have any other suggestions?
It took me a little while to figure out exactly what you were talking about, but now I've found it, changed the setting, and the music files came up. I've now been able to back up the files and re-format the player. Thank you very much for the solution and God bless you!!
