How do I delete the preloaded music this thing comes with? I figured out how to delete stuff I add but it doesn't list the songs that the thing comes with(which suck!). |
Do you mean going into 'my computer' and opening up the "Sansa View" file? That is what I tried and it lists all the songs I put on there but it doesn't list the ones it comes with. |
Ah, didn't see that there. Works the same on these too. edit: what do you mean, reformat? How and why should I do that? I have a lot of music on there already but it is still saved in my library on the pc so it would be easy to add it again. |

I vaguely remember having to do this on mine in order to get the full alloted space for my music. I think I may have had to format it... But I am not entirely sure. Wait for more replies before you try it.

Allright, I went into "My Computer". I Scrolled down to the Sansa and went into it. Inside, there was a drive named "TCNAND0" with the amount of space listed underneath it. I right clicked on this thing and selected "Format". The standard warning about losing everything popped up... I clicked "Okay". It erased all information withing the drive. I just copied and pasted a podcast in there to ensure everything works just fine... And it does. This is an earlier 512MB model, BTW... "Model M230". *Note: The content of this post is for informational purposes only. If you break your Sansa, the poster does not want to replace it*  Edit: To be on the safe side; if you do choose to attempt this, You'll probably want to copy the entire contents of the Sansa... Just in case. Mine had a "Record" folder, and some other thing besides the music. |
What model do you have? I would assume they would work the same, if not similar. After formatting, The record folder that was in there magically reappeared. |
The 8gb Sansa View. |

I'm on google right now looking... This place looks like it will have some answers. |

I'd like to confirm this with another source or two; but it appears that the format is the way to go: forums.sandisk.com/sansa/board/message?board.id=view&thread.id=1154 |

Page 12 of this .pdf file outlines the proper formatting procedures for your Sansa. It appears that your view is formatted through the player itself rather than Windows Explorer: www.sandisk.com/sansa/assets/English/products/View/View_userguide_en.pdf That should do it. Good luck! |

Ah, thanks for the links. Tons of info there. I just formatted mine. Dumped all my music back into it at once. Only took 4 minutes to add 300 songs(20.5hrs of play time). edit: can someone suggest me a good movie editing software? I'd like to add some scenes from SpinalTap and 300 but I don't want the entire movie on there. |

Now it won't charge. It charged fine the first time but then, after having a full charge today I just turned it on and it was suddenly at low. When I plug it in to my USB port it connects but doesn't charge. The USB port does have a high enough charge because both my sister's and friend's Sansa View 8gb players charge on my computer. |
