hi my device shows mtb db mismatch format? and Not enough memory free 8mb space..

your mp3 should have come with a software cd. I had a sense mp3 and had to load program to my pc to add music.

Chrome book and Linux do not generally support MTP mode used by MP3 players. You need to switch to MSC mode using the m240 settings menu, See: http://mp3support.sandisk.com/downloads/um/sansa-m200-um.pdf on page 30.

To play back a voice recording, you will need to do the following steps after turning on the player. Press Power/Menu briefly to get the software menu. Press the Repeat/A-B/Down button to highlight the line Play Music and press Select to enter the play back sub-menu. Press the Down button again to go to the line Recordings and press Select again. Use the Down button to highlight a particular voice recording and press Select to start playing the recording. The manual for the Sansa M200 MP3 player is available as a PDF from the manufacturer here: http://kb.sandisk.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/241 . The details for playing back a Voice Recording are on page 23-24 (24-25 of the PDF). You will need Adobe Reader or a similar program to read the manual. I hope this helps. Cindy Wells

although your mp3 player may not officially be imac compatible, it should still plug in and be recognized by your imac just fine, you just wont be able to use any software that may or may not come with the mp3 player, however given that its not a zune (microsoft product) and that its not an ipod, it should work perfectly fine, and you should be able to simply drag and drop your music onto the mp3 player when it is recognized by your imac. just be sure to copy the files over to it while its plugged in by using the file browser of your mac.

When you connect the MP3 player to your computer with the supplied USB cable then computer detects the player as an external storage device or a Removable disk, you can then view the folder on your MP3 player. Open the music folder and create a new folder on the player exactly the same way you create a folder on your computer's hard drive. To organise your music, make a folder name with the name of the music album and place the album's MP3 files in this folder, then copy the mp3 files from the computer into this folder. You will then be able to select the music you want to play by the music album folder. To delete a file from your MP3 player, connect the supplied USB cable to your player and then plug it into the USB port of your computer. The computer will detect your player then click on this device to view the files, you can then click on the music file to highlight the file and then press the Del key to delete the file off your MP3 player. Check the specification of your MP3 player to determine the type of video file format it uses. Most common video files that MP3 players use are, AVI and WMV, there may be others such as FLV, MOV and DivX. If your player cannot play a video then it is an incompatible video file format, then you need to convert that video file to a format that your MP3 player uses. After video conversion then copy the video files to your MP3 player using the USB cable from your computer.

Hi lfeichtner...
Downloading Music to your MP3 Player

1...You must download and install Windows Media Player 11 on your computer.

4...Install all your music into Media Player that you want to install on your MP3 player.

6...Media player should recognize the MP3 player and sync with it.
7...After it is sync'ed with the computer,you can add the music you have installed into Windows Media Player to your MP3 Player.
Please take time to rate me thumbs up.

La compania Sansa tiene respuestas a varios problemas en espanol en este link: http://kb-es.sandisk.com/app/answers/list/search/1/kw/sansa%20m240%20manual , Quizas se encuentra alli una respuesta.
Paara pensar en soluciones a su problema hace falta mas informacion: el tipo de pc que esta utilizando (mac o windows, si windows, cual systema - windows xp, vista o windows 7?). El aparato m240 se enciende y reproduce la musica que ya tiene?
Hay dos modos de conectarse el m240 a un pc: MTP (Media Transfer Protocol) para sincronizarse a traves de un servicio como i-tunes, y MSC (Mass Storage Class), que actua como un usb Flash Drive en la compu. Posiblemente su m240 esta en modo MTP y si lo cambia a MSC se reconoce por el pc (vea http://kb.sandisk.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/207/kw/m240 en ingles).
Quizas si pregunta de nuevo en ingles recibira mas respuestas que le ayuden: My Sandisk m240 is not recognized by my pc, or does not appear in My Computer when connected to my pc.

You need to use the supplied Sansa Media Converter program to convert pictures and videos to a format the Sansa can handle. If you don't have the SMC, you can download the Windows version from http://www.megaupload.com/?d=3IPZO6Q0

Connect the sansa to the PC and check the files, scan for virus or corrupt files. Remove, copy all files to a marked folder and format the memory. Also reset the player totally before safe files can be loaded back to the player.

I thank you have a virus in your mp3 player. Try to run virus scan, otherwise you can use recovery software to recover any missing file.
