When I plug my Sansa Clip 2gb into my computer, and I go to look at the files on it, nothing shows up in the music folder. My player has 247 songs on it, and they show up when it's not pluged in, but the computer does not recognize that the device is filled.

You have 2 ways to transfer your songs from your computer to your sansa clip:
1. Plug sansa clip to computer, double click on "Sansa Clip ...GB", double click on "Internal Memory", you will see the file "Music", copy your songs and paste them into Music file of the device.
2. Using Windows Media Player: open windows media player, plug sansa clip into computer, click on Sync tab, select songs that you want to sync, drag and drop song selected into "Sync list" on the right side of the windows media player (you should update wmp11), then click on button Start Sync.
Its not usles, you can delete the files while on the computer. After having in plugged in you can access it like a flash drive. Then you can open the music folder and delete as you will. Depending on what kind of files you have on it, its possible that i wont recognize the format of the file. I think though from what you've said that it did work, and then stopped playing songs that worked before. So I don't know what to do about that. I don't use the normal way of loading songs onto my Sansa clip MP# player though. I just dump all of my songs via direct transfer into the music folder in the player itself
try using windows media player to transfer the music...here's how
1.Update WMP to version 10 or 11
2.goto sync tab and yoyc player must be detected.
3.create a playlist of songs you want to transfer
4.click on start sync to transfer music to your player.
1 put on hold and hold record button while u turn on (your sansa is now in recovery mode) 2 connect your sansa to your comp via usb cable a box should show up saying the firmware version 3 close the window and disconnect your sansa (it will restart)
if that doesnt fix your problem try this...
1 connect your sansa to comp via usb cable 2 right click start on windows desktop go to explore 3 scroll down to your sansa's drive rifght click it go to properties 4 go to tools tab and click "check now" under error checking will take awhile and will erase your memory on the sansa but it will work again
With my Sansa Clip I just have to make sure it is set to MSC, then I can always see the files in the Clip from my computer.
I transfer a lot of mp3 files to the Sansa Clip from a SmartCard with a Memorex TravelSync connected to both the Clip and a SmartCard reader.
Initially, I couldn't figure out how I could play them on the Clip but not see them when connected to a computer.
But when I set the USB Mode to MSC, I could see all the files.
When you plug it in and windows identifies it, you have to try to get to the file they are stored on, I believe it's a DVR file, if it's empty, try dragging and dropping an mp3 into it.
