I just updated one to the current firmware. It does nit freeze up, but it still has that hopeless navigation that makes this nearly useless. All media files on the machine are listed in a huge, worthless intermingled list. So you can't practically load more than one audiobook at a time, and you can't play an album sequentially.

Ok so if they fix the problem but my Zune won't even get past the load screen without freezing, how will I be able to download the patch they come out with to fix the problem? They way I see it, my zune is now a $200 paper weight.

I too have had this problem. It worked great for two weeks and then one day, it just wouldn't go past the SANSA screen. I have had good customer service from Sandisk and have a free shipping RMA label to send it back. Hopefully the new one they send me will have this fixed....

Sorry. Mine malfunctioned and I returned it. Bought the Sansa and love it. Anything you can download to your laptop or PC you can transfer to the device.

I just uploaded the 2.6 firmware on my BD-P1500 player. I was having issues with the new release of Sherlock Holmes. After the upgrade it is still jumping on the same scenes, after 3 bluray disc exchanges. Does anyone know if the new version will be out soon. Samsung said they usually come out every 3 months with new firmware updates.

Hello: Could you tell me what MAC you have please? I can not get my Sansa e280 8gig device to connect with my G4 emac. The screen of the Sansa says connected but nothing showing on my Mac. It did show as a volume a few times. Why only a few times I don't know. I have the USB mode set to MSC.Thanks for any help.

You probably had the same issue I had. Outdated firmware. I believe that amazon has a batch of these that have old version one software. Call pocketfinder and they will try to push an update out to you. If this fails they may send you a new unit. I purchased the device because I took my 3yo to Disneyland for his bday earlier this month. After getting offf the plane...still didnt work. After discovering my issue via email and phone calls to their support, i recieved constant communications from their support teams. After not being able to update my device over the air. They drove to the Disneyland hotel and hand delivered me a new unit. Work with them as they will do their best to help out!

Lester, I am sorry but I don't know. I updated the firmware couple of months ago and didn't make a notation of either the original firmware version or the latest version downloaded. I have found there is frequently a more recent of firmware than the one loaded at new. Makers sometimes suggest doing a firmware update when making the original setup which I think is a great idea since there maybe something to do with security in the latest version.

I am having problems getting songs to load from Windows Media to this card. Is there some sort of conversion needed to have this work in my Sansa Fuze?

DO NOT UPDATE YOUR I-devices to ios 8.0+ I just updated mine a 2 days ago and it no longer recognized the device or "resolution" as it displays on the TV screen. I checked online and apparently it's Apple's way to force us to use their official products, so don't update or you're out of luck because they removed "down-grading" from now on.

Yes, it worked with mine for quite some time. I had a 8GB Sansa, but this is not what would make or not it to work. I had it at my summer house and unfortunately, due lack of use, it didn't work anymore, but has an excellent sound and did wonders for almost two years. I hope you have good time.

Both are good for audiobooks and have bookmarking.Difference is Fuze headphone jack does not breakoff easily. Clip's jack is on the side instead of bottom. Headphone jacks break off easily. Its a common problem.For that reason alone, I would go with Sansa Fuze.Other reasons to go with Sansa Fuze is the size. Its as small as an IPOD nano or deck of cards. The size difference between Fuze and Clip is not as big as you would think. They both fit in your pocket, and hand.Third, Fuze has a readable screen thats in color. Its much easier on the eyes. Clip is in black and white text. Its very hard to see and annoying. Overall, you'd be crazy to chose a Sansa Clip over a Sansa Fuze.

Marcu, For what it's worth at this point, I finally did figure out how to make Sansa Fuze work well with Rhapsody to Go, through my own experimentation and some help with one of CNET/CBS Interactive's MP3 editors, Ms. Jasmine France. This is how I do it now: Rather than dropping and dragging songs directly from the main Rhapsody screen or the Library to the Sansa, I first create a new playlist in my Rhapsody Mixer from songs saved in my Library. I then drag this playlist from the Mixer section directly into the Fuze and it tranfers it/them fine. If I try to transfer songs directly from the main screen by dropping or dragging, it won't work, but this method, which I prefer to do using specific playlists but could also be done with simple mixes of individual songs, seems to work flawlessly.

I had problems with my Sansa Clip's headphone jack too. After 3 months, I started to only get sound in the left channel of my headphones. My co-worker had a similar problem with his Sansa Fuze. It sounds like Sandisk isn't making their headphone jacks sturdy enough.Anyone know if the Sansa Clip Plus' headphone is any stronger?

I was very disappointed in this version of the Sansa Fuze. In spite of being very familiar with the previous generation of the Fuze (and very pleased with it), this one was virtually unusable. The navigation system was balky and illogical. I hope you haven't purchased it already. If you haven't, don't.

I like it very much. If you have any questions about it, just let me know. The do post firmware upgrades frequently. I had upgraded to the latest, but had to roll back as there was a bug in that update where it quit playing my protected wma files. I put an issue in their bug tracker and they said they'd resolve the issue soon. But I really haven't found the need to upgrade the firmware anyway.
