Flat File (MSC) Mode support: Will the Sansa Express have this feature, or will we be locked into Windows Media Player for a management tool?

I think it will be locked into WMP due to pressure from Microsoft, not because of Sandisk engineering. There is a more in depth thread in the anythingbutipod forum... google it.

I had the same problem of not having USB as a menu selection and Wal-Mart WMA's not syncing to the sansa c250. I ran the updater from the Sansa Website, did the hold/left arrow reboot as shown in another post here, and here's the kicker, I had to reformat the c250, thus losing my stored items. It was easy enough, though time consuming to reload everything and I was able to sync the Wal-Mart WMA's. It took me a long time to find this out after a lot of internet surfing and I hope it helps everyone who is not seeing USB on their menu.

I know sansa supports audio books, not sure which format though. If you install rockbox, I believe it supports many formats. Will make your battery last considerably longer. It is noticable

Thanks to all of you on this thread! Like Karen B. and the others, I've been going nuts trying to get my Sansa C250 to show up on my home PC. No problem on the one at work. (You wouldn't believe how 'creative' I had to get to download an audiobook at home.) I downloaded the Firmware Updater and followed the instructions and I can FINALLY 'drag and drop' at home.

press and hold the round center button on the right side of the device. However, this player is junk, it will break quickly. I recommend looking at the Sansa Clip, I've upgraded to that and am much happier with the Sans.

Is supports MP3, WMA (NO DRM), AAC, Ogg Vorbis, WAV, FLAC, and Audible (DRM only)

Hi Barry, thank you for your question! According to Samsung, the official answer is no. However one of the ways they suggested to get around the issue was to rename the .SEC file to .AVI then use FXSplitter, a codec pack, in order to play it in windows media player. I hope this helps!

I don't use proprietary software. Under win7 and win 8.1 it is automatically USB recognised and I simply drag and drop MP3 songs and audiobooks. Best solution I have found for simple audiobooks when walking. Tried phone/ipod/iriver and others.... sansa wins hands down. Cheers. P.S. This is my 3rd in 5 years.

Glad I could help you and that you're now able to stream your MKVs! I didn't even bother with the CIFS Login/Password thing because the WMP12 server worked right away for me once I 'allowed' it in my Homegroup settings. If you ever figure out the CIFS thing, feel free to give us an update here and let us know what you did. I'm not really worried about it since the WMP12 feature works fine, but I'd still like to know just in case.

Thanks again, Buddy. Do you recommend any other brand of player for Overdrive WMA books other than Sansa? I am quite happy with Sansa but my favorite model is becoming scarce and therefore few bargains, especially since I need several. Thanks, again!

Good Evening,I am using Audioshell 1.3.5 that I downloaded from www.softpointer.comI picked up this site from the either the I phone or G phone forums.I guess those platforms have the same type of issue with Windows Media Player. As I mentioned in my previous post the software, once downloaded works in the background with explorer. By pointing the mouse at the album, you get title, artist, album, year, track number, genre, cover art (yes or no), duration, bit rate, encoder and file size. Then when you right click on properties, you get four tabs, general, audio shell info, audio shell tag editor, and summary.Let me know if you need anymore help.Regards,Danbo Good Evening,I am using Audioshell 1.3.5 that I downloaded from www.softpointer.comI picked up this site from the either the I phone or G phone forums.I guess those platforms have the same type of issue with Windows Media Player.

Yes it does. I download books from Overdrive media and players must meet that requirement to download the wmas. That is why I picked the SanDisk Sansa Clip mp3 player.

Christopher, There was no snide, since I am not the seller, but a buyer! I´m using a 32gb mini sdcard that I loaded music to before placing it into the Sansa device that I purchased online from Amazon. I don´t on a Radio slot card, and I´m sorry for your confusion. Peace!

While I have XP at home, I have 2000 at work. I can confirm that the Sansa definitely works in both locations in MSC mode.

I have had no problem creating a playlist in windows media player 11 and copying it to the Sansa player from Windows Media player. That is the only way I found to get a playlist. You can't create it from the Sansa player
