The Sansa Fuze 8GB mp3 Player has a memory card slot to add a micro s.d. card, so I was wondering whats the bigest size you can add? Or is there a limit?

I called tech support and they said you can plug in a 16 GB microSD/SDHC card and thus have 24 GB total (!)

The Fuze will work with any MicroSDHC card you put in it, but MicroSDHC will max out at 32GB. So 32 gigs is the highest you'll be able to use on it.

The bigger the card you put in it, the longer the "refresh" cycle takes every time you add or delete anything. As a matter of fact, when you put a loaded card in, the first time you turn it on after that it will do a "refresh".

Thru tips learned here, I finally figured out the "secret." Hours of frustrating reading and trial runs later: WMA Audiobooks are not compatible with the Micro SD -- MP3 format only -- transferring from Overdrive is done outside of the Sansa Clip, direct to the Micro card -- insert the Micro (in its carrying sleeve) into the computer slot; when it is recognized by Overdrive, transfer as usual, listen by inserting the Micro into the Sansa Clip. MP3 format is a drag -- takes twice as much space as WMA, but seems to be the only game in town.

That is correct, you will need to use an USB adapter to play an SD/microSD card. I personally use an external USB 1T hard drive (USB 2.0) for maximum storage. I know there is up to 64GB SD Cards but I normally use 8 to 16 GB, I haven´t use SD cards on Micca....just 2GB to 8GB USB jumpers and the external 1T storage and it worked great.

I think the "recommended" max is 16GB (and 8GB for certain kinds of music file formats), but I've seen posts from users who've exceeded the OEM "recommended" size with no problem. I use a 16GB card ... zero problems. However, if you're inclined to try a larger card, I'd stop at 64GB.

standardly, it uses anything up to 32gb but if you install rockbox then you can have any size of micro sd card (as long as that size exists). currently, with rockbox installed on a sandisk player, you can have a 64gb microSDXC card inside of it

Did you read the user guide? I bought mine at least five years ago, but here's what it says: The smaller slot is for Secure Digital, Multimedia Card, Memory Stick, Memory Stick Pro, Memory Stick Duo, Memory Stick Pro Duo, and xD Picture Cards. The larger slot will accept Compact Flash cards. I think the Smartparts is confusing to use, poorly designed. It also won't always accept a USB thumbdrive (Smartparts customer service advised against using one). Sorry I can't offer more assistance, but perhaps you've solved the problem by now.

Neither. This device is pretty bare bones. It's really just an MP3 player. Micro Sd and standard SD card would be for a smart phone or a tablet (and a Nintendo DS handhelds and certain cameras inexplicably). Not quite for a Walkman.

I was a bit confused about the SD versus micro SD thing when I ordered also.Turns out, its both. Apparently an SD card can be used as is, if that's what your gadget takes. But if you want the micro SD you just pop it out of the SD.It is actually INSIDE the SD card!

I have had not problem with my card. It should work with the Sansa assuming that you have not formatted it for some system that locks the card, most notably a windows 7 phone. The question that you need to answer is if the Sansa will recognize all 16 gig of the card.

What are the chances that a version with expandable memory (in the form of an SDHC slot) becomes available? Like the Sansa View or Creative Zen. They obviously don't have the features of the Touch, but 16GB with the option to buy the amount of memory you want later (as SD prices drop) is a great approach and is more economical. The lack of expandable memory is the only thing holding me back from buying a Touch at this point.

Conclusion: The Micro card is only good for music. MP3 books take up way too much space and the selection at the public library is severely limited. If more book memory is needed, easier to buy anotherClip.

David S. is right. Sansa supports up to 32GB with standard exFAT formatting (which is how most are pre-formatted when you buy them). But Sansa will also work just fine with a larger card formatted to FAT32. There are a number of free programs that you can use to reformat a larger memory card to FAT32.

I too had no luck with Rhapsody to go on the Sansa Fuze, after doing everything i could think of, firmware updates, installed windows updates, reinstalled Rhapsody, formatted my device. After too much frustration, i switched to Napster to go and it works perfectly. I like Rhapsody Unlimited but i need to be able to load my mp3 player up and i could never get Rhapsody to work at all with my mp3 Fuze. Rhapsody is best for those who want to listen online only, but Napster is best if you have an mp3 player you want to load up.

The quick answer is yes. I put the micro sd card into the adapter and in the SD slot transferred the content and then Inserted the card into the devise. You can also connect the Sansa Fuse to the computer and transfer it that way. I have done it both ways.

I think the unit you showed has a chip or memory card contained within and it can't be exchanged, but that is what contains the slot radio music. Some of the bit more expensive models have the capacity add a Micro SDHC slot and come with a micro SDHC card that contains the slot radio music and that you can also add music to. I am a bit uninformed about these products and I gave the one you show to my daughter but I do have two of the Sansa Clips with Slot radio music and I take them to the Gym with me all the time. It is very small and easy to carry around.

I have not bought this item yet. However, I have a tablet that advertised a reading of up to a 32 GB microSD card. I tried a 64 GB microSD card and it worked. With this device you should try a 64 GB card and see if it works. What these companies do is they only advertise what they tested their devices at. If the 64 GB ends up not working, then at least you know it will work for the 32 GB that they do advertise.

Heres a link to the web site that Sandisk recomends to buy products for your player. In fact--it is important to use one of the listed sites that Sandisk has partnered with for accessories. Had to do this myself this week :)http://www.sandisk.com/Products/Catalog(1200)-Made_for_Sansa_Accessories.aspx
