Judith, I have several Sansa Sandisk players. I usually listen to all types of music, soft instrumental to hard rock. Sometimes I sync whole CDs to my players and at times I just put several hundred songs/tracks on them for variety. There is the possibility that you have your player set with the "Shuffle" option on. To cancel this, turn it on, select "Play Music", scroll to "Settings", select "Playback", make sure "Shuffle" is OFF. This may or may not solve your problem. I hope it helps. Jason

Speed doesn't matter for MP3 files, they are very low bandwidth. Think about it - memory cards are measured in Megabytes per second, MP3 files are measured in Kilobytes per second. So even a slow 1MB card is more than 3x fast enough for a very high quality 320Kbps MP3 file. That said, I only use the biggest available, which is 64GB - the only card I use is the "SanDisk SDSDQUA-064G-U46A Ultra 64 GB microSDXC Class 10 UHS-1 Memory Card 30MB/s with Adapter" - conveniently made by the same company that makes the player. I don't care about the other features, but I do care about the 64GB size.

Same problem. Had 2 Sansa Clips (1 GB) and no sound when headphone jack fully inserted. Had to be juggled repeatedly, kept falling out when in position to create sound. Sent both back. Got money back from Proton, but AM Sales pretends they never received the product back. Riiight. Ordered Sansa Clip Plus from Sandisk, and it's better than the other two, but still has places where it just doesn't give sound.

I bought one that was a refub and have to downgraded the firmware to get MSC (usb). Here are some links to downgrade the firmware:http://forums.sandisk.com/sansa/board/message?board.id=c200&thread.id;=2028http://forums.sandisk.com/sansa/board/message?board.id=c200&thread.id;=2029http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OXbfXMbXFRk

My experience is you should NOT rely on this memory usb to save your files. I bougth it because the large amount of memory (256 gb) at such a low price. It just NOT true. I suggest not buy it.

Check out what Sandisk sent me this solved my problem! Sign up for their "Ebox" and you'll get an email like this:Go to their website and download their "Firmware Updater" Then once you have that installed, switch your "USB MODE" to whichever you're not using to transfer music. Then plug it in to the computer, go to "My Computer" and right-click on "Sansa" and click "Format" THIS WILL CLEAN THE WHOLE MP3 PLAYER. Then you run the "Firmware updater" that you downloaded and it should update to the newest settings. Then just switch your "USB MODE" back and transfer music/vids/whatever.Hope this helps Check out what Sandisk sent me this solved my problem!

I ordered this one: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B009QZH7BU/ref=oh_details_o07_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 It's a SanDisk Ultra 32 GB MicroSDHC Class 10 UHS-1 Memory Card with Adapter (SDSDQU-032G-AFFP-A). I would suggest that once you put it in, leave it in. Even removing and reinserting it with the power off will cause it to rescan the next time you power on. I picked a high speed device because of the scan time. It takes several minutes of scanning after I've put more music on it. I've got about 5 gig free, so it takes a long time to go through 27 gig of music.

I don't know if it is different but pay $10 more and get sansa mp3 player. This thing will die in a few days ... You will waste your money :(

Hello Alex, Even with slower class 4 SD card still generated fast enough transfer rate (read/write) to play back a HD video. The one I used is SanDisk ultra 64GB class 10 I bought it from amazon, it work just fine. I have noted that way back when I downloaded more than a dozen of free apps from google play store based on rating and testing them to see which one work best and found out that many media (video) player program are in premature development stage, their playback are sluggish and freezing all the time, few others are just ok because they are too simple and lacks of features, but the only one I am interested is the MX player, my search ended and this MX player is the only one I using today on my Samsung s3 cellphone and my new Samsung tab 3 I just bought from amazon. regardless HD or SD the playback is flawlessly with this MX player. I think before you spend more money for faster SD card may be you should download and try this MX player to see if the poor video playback problem solved if not then switch to faster class10 SD memory card. Remember after you download and open the player for the first time, it may prompt to download CODE for the MX player to work properly. Once the player open, select a file you want to play them then go-to setting by select tool/setting/decoder and place check marks on all those check box that uses H/W+ decoder, then you are done and all of your video now should playback smoothly. By the way I had been using this MX player for the past 2 plus years until today. I hope this help and good luck!

I have a different model, but same line. It played from a 500GB usb drive fine. The thing is it has to be formatted to FAT32 or it won't read. I use a 128GB flash drive on two different Pioneer AVH models fine as well. According to the manual there are file and folder limits though (I think 15K file/1500folder, not positive though), so 256gb may be overkill to be honest (I do have 10K+ mp3 on my 128 with room for more). I only tried the 500GB out of curiosity.Also a note on the 160gb iPod working... that's because it runs off the iPod o/s, making the size and format irrelevant. It also runs much slower than using a usb drive as a result. I have a different model, but same line. It played from a 500GB usb drive fine.

I got one for Christmas too (in black, not green tho!), but haven't tried to download any photos yet, so I'll have to get back to you. I have a new MacBook with 10.5, so we'll see... I guess your post has me a little concerned too now!Meanwhile, are you plugging into the USB port directly, or using a card reader (which will be MUCH faster because of USB2 speeds, vs USB1 through the camera's cable)? It might make a difference. Does iPhoto even recognize that a camera is plugged into the iMac, or does nothing at all happen?I'll update here in a day or two after I plug in my own camera to find out what happens... or DOESN'T happen!

What interface do the cameras have? Are they newer with usb3 or are they usb2? I could test with a couple dslrs at once for you. However from my experience transfers directly from the camera are slower than a good usb3 card reader.

This device is a writer, not a reader. If you are intending to read (as in, watch) BluRays, this isn't the device for you. If, however, what you intend to do is backup your data files to BluRay format, you want this. I cannot provide the actual write speed data for this device, but on USB 3, my experience is that it is fairly fast, determined of course by the amount and type of data you are writing.

I just got this item and am I am having the same issue with this and it is a bit frustrating. I bought it because I wanted to use it with USB (I do not have an ipod or anything like that).

I don't think it matters. This is a consumer product with very little write speed requirements - not like a camera, you load the songs once and then mostly read the mp3 files. The songs are loaded from a PC that can be very patient while the files are written to the flash memory card. I would go with the least expensive - and I have done that in the past.

I Just got a sansa e260 from Amazon.com Thurday... It keeps losing one channel or the other,over and over again . You don't have to touch a thing and it drops off on about a quarterof the songs.. It looks like I got a defective player. If I do I'll get a refund . Seem like all Sandisk products are defective in some way...
