Sansa c250 and rhapsody

Lately I have been having trouble transfering music from my Rhapsody library to my Sansa c250. For example,when I transfer a 13 track cd, some tracks will transfer and some will not. An error message pops up saying "this track is not compatible with your portible device". From the same CD!? A couple of weeks ago this was not a problem. After 2 hours on the phone with Rhapsody tech supt,and trying every solution they suggested the problem remains. The tracks that can't be transfered play fine on my computer. Could the problem be with my MP3 player?

I first suggest that you use Windows Media Player on transferring songs to the player. Rhapsody is a p**n in the a** when i use it to transfer songs to the player. Well back to the topic, make sure the device that you have is set to MTP when you are transferring songs to the player using rhapsody.. If it will not transfer format the player using Settings and then FORMAT if it did not work format the player in MSC mode. To do this, go to settings then to USB MODE then change it to MSC and then connect the player to the computer. After connecting the player to the computer ti will be detected as a removable disk drive. Right click on it then choose FORMAT make sure the file system is FAT32. THen after the format is done. Chnage the mode back to MTP then transfer a song using rhapsody. If all else fails using the windows mediaplayer program. Here are the instructions on using the windows media player program.

Can't transfer tracks to my device from Rhapsody

Use the Sansa Recovery Tool to wipe the existing songs off your player, and then reload your Rhapsody songs onto there.

CHARGING A 1 DAY USED SANDISK SANSA MP3 4G

Run the Sansa Recovery Tool from Sandisks' website and start over from scratch. Usually this problem is caused by trying to transfer too many songs at once, but any number of Rhapsody errors could have caused this.

You can use any music service - not just Rhapsody. Some others are Napster To Go, and Yahoo Music service. You can also transfer songs ripped from Cd's to this player.

Sansa e250

That means you will need to transfer one track to your device from rhapsody..the songs you have from rhapsody has a license in them...the licenses get renew every month..that means if you discontinue your service, you are not going to be able to play those songs...just try to transfer one track from rhapsody to your device and that will solve your problems...

Sansa 250 - Having problems downloading music?

You could try opening the folder(s) with your saved music and highlight all the ones you want to transfer to your mp3 player and then right click on one of the highlighted files, left click on Copy, then go to My Computer > Sansa e250 mp3 player should be listed in there, double click on it, then right click in a open white area and left click Paste. It should copy the music right to your player. You could also try using Rhapsody and import your music into it. I use Rhapsody for transferring music to my e250 Sansa mp3 player.

Sansa turns on but does NOT do anything!!! :0!!

Sounds like you have a few different problems, thankfully its easy to resolve. Run the recovery tool from the SanDisk website, select FORMAT when prompted. http://sandisk.com/assets/file/downloads/firmware/e200fw01.00.12.exe Best of Luck. (this only works with non Rhapsody devices, annotated by an 'R' or the word Rhapsody on back)
