have you checked to make sure the "hold" button isn't on at the bottom of the player?

I don't know. Is the earphone connection loose? I figured out that the newer ones have strange earphone jacks. YOu have to push the connector in really hard, seems like you might break it, to get it seated correctly. ON the way there, you may get sound out of only one side, or no sound. When you move, the movement of the earphone may be causing the sound to cut out. However, when it is firmly seated in the correct place, it plays correctly out of both earphones. It loosens up over time. Contact Sansa if that doesn't work. they have great customer support.

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...

You need to check the plug type. The charger has a mini usb. My Sansa 4gb has a micro usb. Check first. I can't really use it with my player.

That happened to my player once as well. Not sure why. I've had to replace my player 2 times already. I think it was because it had moisture damage. I'm now on my 3rd player and it's been working well. I would send a note about this to the Finis website. Hope this helps.

Wow, thanks for taking the time to do all the contacting and research on this question, and especially for detailing everything you have discovered here for all of us to read. I, too, have a Sansa Fuze and am looking for a nice speaker that is compatible with it. You have saved me a lot of trouble. Thanks again.

Is this still the case? The Device Center at Audible suggests that the Sansa e200v2 series is compatible. I'm looking at buying a player that will run Audible files and prefer this one if it is compatible. Thanks!

I can't help you there, mine connects just fine, but I hope you didn't format the MP3 player beforehand, I remember seeing something in the instructions booklet about it. I don't have personal experience with your error but I would refer to the manual for any troubleshooting of that sort.

It did work fine with my Sansa and I had no problems so maybe its just faulty

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

Actually it did not work properly from the very beginning. So i returned the item. I would advise that you spend the extra bucks and purchase a brand name mp3 player

I just ordered it for my Sansa Fuse, and I believe that it does work with other players, but now I'm not sure :)I'll reply on here when the speakers arrive... what type of player do you have?

I have a more recent Sansa Clip, and it does work. The box says Macs are supported, but not with their software. They do not play MP4 files, only MP3.

well, it happened to me about 3 months ago. Totally bricked and useless. I looked it up here and all over the net... and it's just a bad unit and everybody's broke. I gave up and got my 20 year old Onyko unit out of the garage. Doesn't do much and there are limitations, but it sounds better. I don't have the $$ to fix it. Such a drag. At least it's not a SONY it might have broken sooner! :-)

Despite SANSA advertising differently and apparently also in contrast to earlier versions the newest version with Firmware 3.01.11A does not play audio books in an acceptable manner. You may be able to put them on your player but there is no bookmarking capability so they do not restart where you left off and the fast forward function cannot/will not skip forward more than about 5 minutes and resume play. Whats worse is the player says in its digital readout it is starting where you left off but just goes back to the beginning anyway. I contacted Sansa support about this and their response was the e280 and other players in this series weren't meant to do books but I could buy a Sansa View and it would work correctly. In my opinion, they disabled what was a functioning player with the new firmware because they brought out the new and more expensive Sansa View. If you really want this for books it isn't the right player. I am sending mine back because I bought it for the same reason.

I also bought a zen v, and literaly, in 3 days it was no longer working. It always froze immediately on startup and then died from not being able to charge. I ordered a sansa e250 and am hoping it will be much better. After my experience, I will never want a Creative zen product again.
