do actual songs come pre loaded or just sound patches. If so, is there a song list of what is loaded on it?

There are not really songs on this machine, just short samples of many types of music that are looped. You can download any song you want to this unit and lay with it. I highly recommend this unit. Best buy I ever had. The sample list is not provided by the manufacturer.

There are no actual songs, only rhythm tracks for you to play against. Various styles are represented from Country to Metal and all stops in between. Lots of fun when there's no one around to join in. I imagine that's why it's called eBAND. It's a band in a box type of thing. You get to throw in the leads.

Boss JS-8 comes with 265 Rhythms and 133 short patterns. There is only 1 demo song. All of them are preloaded and located on the included 1Gb SD card.There is no song list available in some kind of "text" format but it can be created manually. The song and rhythm names are generic ones, eg. "PHRASE0001.xxx" or "DEMOSONG01.xxx". Extensions vary. This is a case when you look at the actual files on the SD card or on your PC. But when viewing it on the JS-8 itself, the song and rhythm names are expanded and very meaninful.Hope that this is of any help to you. Boss JS-8 comes with 265 Rhythms and 133 short patterns.

No commercial songs just rhythms and song loops. They will repeat of course making jamming possible. However it's extremely essy to add your CDs or even songs input analog from any sound source. I like youtube and input those all the time for learning them. You can play along, slow/speed/fine tune pitch, etc. this is a great machine and I still use it regularly. And yes you get a menu, not always the easiest to find but once you get the hang of where and how to find it, it's effective..not perfect but effective.

While I don't own the JS-8 anymore, the unit comes with a number of "song fragments" in various styles. The songs are paired with guitar sounds that work well with the songs (e.g., rock ballad with a heavy distorted tone). As far as I know, there is no song list.

Did you save your playlists of saved frequencies before you updated the library's? Did you reprogram those playlists after you finished? Just trying to think of possibilities

Hi Terry,To be clear then..... can you go to that folder, select the first song to play and it automatically play thru every song in the folder.

Yes it does! That was something that I was concerned about too. It doesn't matter where the songs are stored, the player sees all locations as a single library. You have the option to display artists, albums, genres or songs. Once you start playing a song from any group you can select to play all of the songs in that group randomly. So if you want to randomly play all of the songs that you have on your player randomly you go into Songs. There's a learning curve with the user interface, but after you get the hang of it you'll find it easy to use.

Play it safe and send it back. What is the source of the music? Is it on all tracks by all artists? I don't have any problems with mine.

I looked at settings... it has play in order or shuffle the order about... there is a alphabetical list of all songs loaded ... you can also make a playlist... up to you

Yes, the playlists would appear temporarily, but the next time I turned my SansaView on, the playlists would be empty. I tried all the help advice, talked to someone on the phone (what they suggested worked for a few minutes), and finally decided to do an online chat. Ultimately, she told me that they were aware of the problem and were working on it. I have checked daily for upgrades, but none has appeared as of yet. The only other problem I have noticed is an occasional song that is cut off.

I don't have any lyrics attached to any files, since all mine are from my own CDs. There is no mention of this in the Sansa manual (you should probably download it from the Sandisk site). The closest I could find was the few "tags," they suggest you can add, if they are missing, and lyrics was not one of them. After more than 6 months of nobody fixing or even acknowledging the major bug in the player, and taking more than 2 months to get one with a decent battery, I wasted no time in converting mine to "RockBox." There is a plugin called lrcplayer that works with it. You should download the PDF to read up on it... it's called "rockbox-sansaclipzip.pdf", and you can get it from the RockBox site. However, final note, with the size of the screen (in pixels), it is questionable as to how useful displaying lyrics on it would be.

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.

Thanks.For some reason it took about two weeks to work after doing the exact same steps.The same thing sometimes happens with music. I will rip some music and add it to my library, but will have to sync it several times before it sees it. Doesn't always happen, but I have noticed it.

Protip: No player (as far as I am aware of) requires proprietary software.Proof? I have an iPod nano sitting on my bed, now, that has music loaded onto it, none of which was loaded using iTunes. I used MediaMonkey. If your proprietary software forces you to buy new versions of songs you already have, then scrap the software, because chances are, it's not actually proprietary.

The readme file isn't clear (at least to me) that this is about building on the fly playlists with just the mp3 player. The way I read it this is about building playlists without using WMP on your computer and then transferring them to the player...am I missing something?

Yes, Title, artist and sometimes album. i sometimes rename a song( for various reasons) and sometimes that edited name is displayed and sometimes the original name comes up. I also never know what order they'll be played in, after they are loaded, which is okay Bill

Not very well, so far. It has failed to include my playlists which hold several hundred tunes each. It would take days to manually rebuild them on the Squeezecenter software. if anyone knows how to remedy this i would be gartefull for the info.

Yes, you can load your own sounds from an SD card (I don't own the device, but they demonstrate it in this review: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GF38DrK5Rl8)

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!

When you order on their website it will give you the song listings .....As far as listening to product i have some samples on sound cloud app under my account ( Fernie salinas)
