first hook up your unit to your computer and go to the Music file on the unit. delete the music folder. Then delete the "tmp" folder on both the MSC mode and the MTP mode. This should delete the playlists as well as the songs.

Turn on your player and go to the settings and change your usb mode. Then find your player(my computer) and second click and press format. Dont forget to switch your usb mode back before you try to transfer music.I hope this helps.For more info go to the ANYTHINGBUTIPOD FORUMS

I figured out how to remove the pre-loaded songs. Connect your player to the computer and through Windows Media Player, under sync, it will list the songs you have currently in there. Click on the ones you don't want and delete! Voila. It really was racking my brain as well.

The "Shuffle" option plays the exact same playlist each time the Soundfly is powered on. Mine begins with 1638, 1759, 1829, 0603, 0528, 1537, 1534, etc. Is there any way to change this order? It's sad to have over 2000 songs on a 16GB SD card and hear the same songs over and over (and over, and over).I can't believe a product that is excellent in so many ways could be lacking a way to randomize songs. I wouldn't like this with audio books, but for music I would think it's preferred. Thanks!

I personally stay as far away from WMP's music management even since I got my ZVM. It has a habit of wanting to take too much control over my music and how I have everything set, even with the options disallow it to do anything and I don't like that, I had spend several days fixing my ID3 infomation that WMP got either wrong or just plain screwed up and deleting pointless album art files (album art info can be saved to the MP3's ID3 tags) and after using WMP for something that had nothing to do with music it started to go through and screw some of them up, luckly I noticed quickly before it "fixed" it all. I personally use Media Monkey Gold and it has worked very well for me. You can also use Winamp which is still a rather good music playing program.

Connect the Sansa Clip Zip with a USB cable to the computer. Click Start, Computer to bring up Windows Explorer. When Clip Zip show up, select the drive and click right on "Music" and it will show all the songs that are stored in that folder. Highlight the songs and press Delete, a window will ask to confirm the Delete, choose Yes.

Connect it to a computer via the USB cable, open up explorer (in Windows) to the SanDisk Sansa drive and just delete the files that you don't want. When it's connected to you computer via USB it acts just like a flash drive to which you can copy or delete files.

Actually there is a limit. From page 63 of the user's manual "This unit can recognize a total of 9999 (a maximum of 999 files per folder)." Although my entire mp3 collection tops out at around 7500 folders & around 375gb. Appreciate the response though. I'm upset they couldn't have done something about the file limit on last year's models, as it was the same for 3 model years.

I don't know if there is any specific option for this. But usually I make my playlist by copying all the files I want in a folder and then in Sansa I browse by folder (at the bottom of the menu list) instead of browsing by Artist/Album etc... hope it helps

I store all my music on an external hard drive.....so when my computer went up.....I still had all the music there....reloaded iTunes on the new computer (although I did lose playlists, etc....but not any of the actual songs, videos or photos) and I was back up and running with not too much time spent......

I did end up with one problem and had to call the company. I was deleting songs off the player, but the space available was getting smaller. It turned out that I needed to empty the trash... simple enough. As I said, I just got a mac (macbook) so I don't know if this type of thing happens often with a mac. But, make sure you empty the trash if you are deleting songs or the player will get filled!!

How do you exactly copy the playlist over? I have WMP11. Tried using Sync, songs got transfered but not playlist. Then I tried copying the playlist file .wpl manually on to the device, and it still doesn't recognize the playlist. Not sure what I am doing wrong?------------Never mind. I figured it out - I was in MSC mode. Switched to MTP mode and everything works.

I just sent my player back to sandisk because I also got a corrupted file on the player and my computer won't recognize my player. also the player kept rebooting it's as if the operating sytem is gone. Before this happened I had to reformat my player because of corrupt files. Do you or does anyone know a way of preventing this from happening again? This is my 3rd e260. I really don't want to have to wait another 7-10 days from receipt of my player for a new one! I am suffering withdrawal right now without it. I' also quite annoyed with all the problems. I'm glad it wasn't just me because I was starting to think I was doing something wrong!

First of all you need to backup your files in your SD card and format it with FAT32 file system. Secondly please create a folder and name is Soundfly. And move all your files and folders into this Soundfly folder. When you enable shuffle using remote control or press and hold MENU/SHUFFLE button 2 seconds until you see SHUFFLE on the screen.

The files are organized by Album, Song, Artist, Favorites. You can create your own playlists in separate folders. File management is drag and drop. Organize your files as you like them when connected to a computer.

This has happened to me. I fixed my problem by resetting my iPod. Please download the manual from Apple's website. Unfortunately Amazon won't let me post the direct link.Go to Chapter 6 (page 55) of the current manual to troubleshoot. If you use Windows version of iPod and you manually update your playlists, your problem may have been triggered by improper disconnection. If that's the case, make sure you always eject your iPod first by using Window's System Tray (much like disconnecting flash drives). Good luck!
