MircroSD vs. MircroSDHC

I own an Sansa E260 (4gb) I want to purchase a memory card for it. Will the higher MicroSDHC cards work on the e260or will I have to settle for just a 2gb MicroSD card? (I really want to buy 6 - 8 gb) The only 4gb I have seen are also SDHC

I have a Sansa e260 4 gb player. I bought a 4 gb SD card. The player will not recognize the card. I have formated the card but ths has not helped.

Also I reformated the Sansa and was getting refresh database everytime I turned on the player but since I loaded the card it is not doing that any more, any suggestions???

I too have been having trouble with my 4 GB SD HC card not being read or even recognized by my Sansa e260. I read another complaint/concern dealing with the card not being compatible with the Sansa e260, which is fine but the why the FREAKING HECK did multiple sales people point out this card and tell me it was compatible, not to mention it said so on the packaging too!

So the comment posted "sorry for your luck buddy these cards are not garuanteed" holds as much water as a bucket without a bottom.

Thanks for the info tho. I guess my real complaint is with the company who makes the mp3 player and the company (aka- Staples) who sold me the chip.

I have a Sansa e250 and I just bought a 8GB microSD card. Ideally, I would be able to add 10GB worth of music and playlists, however I can't get the Sansa player to read the music from the microSD...

The Sansa e250 works with microSD cards. Your 8GB card is actually a microSDHC card (the HC stands for High Capacity). While microSDHC cards fit into the slot, they are electronically incompatible and will not work in the e250.

microSD cards max out at 2GB in size, but you can put your music on several of them and swap them in and out. It's not as convenient as having them all on one card, but that's the best you can do with the e250.

Some later models such as the Fuze will accept microSDHC cards.

I just put in a brand new 4gb MicroSDHC card into my Sansa SanDisk Plus & plugged it into my computer. Now its stuck on "Refreshing your media" & I can't even shut it off. Help?

Remove the microSDHC card. Disconnect the Sansa from the computer. Press and hold the power button for fifteen seconds to reset the Sansa.

Be aware that the e200 series of Sansa media players do not work with microSDHC cards, only with microSD cards.

What kind of a sd card do I need to purchase inorder to expand the memory of my sansa c250

Hello,

It depends on the firmware version of the player,
to determine the capacity and type SD card you can use.
note
player's firmware version can not be interchanged

Look in Settings > System Info for your version:
For 01.xx.xx firmware (c200 version 1) - up to 2GB microSD cards
For 03.xx.xx firmware (c200 version 2) - up to 4GB microSDHC cards

Can an 8GB microSDHC card be used in my Sansa Fuze 4GB mp3 player

Actually, it sounds as if the card is working. The more you have on the card, the more free internal memory you'll need so it can build its media database. Remove the card, then delete some files from the internal memory to free up space. Then reinsert the card.

External memory read

Verify that you are using a microSD card (max 2GB), not a microSDHC (4GB or larger) card.
You can use a microSDHC if you install RockBox on your Sansa C240, but it will be read-only. You will have to use an external card reader to copy media to it.

I bought a 4gb Sanadisk microSDHC card for my Sansa c250 and Media player is not reading the card?

You must find the Sansa c250 menu that allows you to format the microSDHC card for use with media player. Most microSDHC cards are shipped unformatted. It is a new technology and there is no standard format for microSDHC cards as they are used to store many types of data. My cell phone uses one to store music, video,and photos, so the phone's manufacturer included a format command choice in the appropriate "phone memory" menu. Look for the microSDHC card in a "memory" menu. Follow the prompts to format the card. This only works on a NEW card. If you format a used card, ALL data will be lost. Formatting a card or a hard disk effectively prepares the memory to be written on, erasing any data previously written on it.

Sansa e260

The e260 works with microSD cards. Your 4GB card is actually a microSDHC card and won't work in the Sansa.
With a microSD card, simply put music tracks into a folder called "MUSIC". When the card is installed, the Sansa will see the additional tracks.
