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.

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.

I also have a Sansa media player, and it worked fine, for about one year. Then, the touchpads failed to work and I had to throw it out. I called Altec Lansing and they said there was nothing they would do to reconcile this and I couldn't send it to them to fix. The sound is excellent, though. Good luck!

Works fine for me. Never seen it. For almost an year restarted it only two times to upgrade the firmware.

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, happened to my FIRST E260 that I got, locked up until the batteries died completely then worked like a champ......I still returned it for a new one though (that was after a week of owning it), ever since then, no problems whatsoever until I tried to manipulate the title of a folder already on the Sansa......no no no, don't try to change the titles of folders that are already synched on the little guy......bad juju. I updated my firmware/software 3 days ago, and it was the best thing I've done with this yet: It gave me 3 new options for the Equalizer (all bass, all treble, and Custom). I adjusted the EQ manually and it sounds just as good as any of the Ipods I looked at prior to deciding on this baby. I would buy this anyday over an ipod, my Sopranos videos play on here, if you have the patience to wait for the software to convert a .wmv to an .avi otherwise, this MP3 player rules. Question: Does anyone use this to connect to a dock that is advertised to work with an Ipod? Does it work?

I have only had my Coby for a little over a week and decided that doing the firmware upgrade was probably a good idea. I noticed mine wasn't on the most recent release. I figure that they have probably had a few of these machine instock for a while so the firmware wouldn't be up to date.

There are two different device firmware types: 3.X.X and 4.X.X. If you have a device with 3.X.X firmware it doesnt need updating. This version does not have the freeze issue. The Firmware 4.0.44 and 4.0.45 needs to be updated to 4.1.08 to prevent freeze problems and to fix other bugs.If you use the Sansa updater it will automatically apply the correct firmware for the product you have. You should be using the updater application to install firmware generally.

I don't know about firmware updates, but this is an awesome device. I've had mine nearly a year without any problems whatsoever. The recorder is a great device with crystal clear images. It records everything in the direction it is pointed in. I am very pleased with this purchase.

I got a refurb. It did not. The sansa clip (not zip) 4gig is a good buy at about the same price and it is new. The sansas I purchased new are about 2-3 years old and with one exception, all still work well. (I have 5). The refurbs (2) I bought have sound problems.

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've had this exact same problem with 6 Sansa players. 4 Clips and 2 Fuzes. I returned them all when Sansa customer support could do nothing. I waited five months to see if they had worked out their problems and just got a 4 G clip from amazon. SAME PROBLEM! This truly sucks!

OOPS! It just says SANSA, not SANSA FUSE. I guess my mind just automatically interchanged the two terms, or I mis-read...isn't the Fuse the only one being made still?

I was actually able to reset mine. Had to search around the Sansa website to find out how to do that. (Hold the on/off switch up for several seconds. It will eventually show it resetting.) Once it was reset, I was able to charge it and it has been working ok since. Very frustrating though!

So weird, my product code is also 059C8T6, but I cannot update to Anna! Frustrated. I am hoping that when the Belle update comes out in February 2012 (as rumored) that my device will update to Belle. As it is, S3 is not nearly as useable as Anna. My E7 Anna experience is great. N8 pre-Anna, ick.I just want the new interface and a few other features like Maps upgrades, the highly improved keyboard, etc.

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?

There are no firmware updates that I am aware of. AND I would not expect to see one. These devices are priced to be a nearly disposable item. I would test thoroughly, quickly, and return it it it doesn't measure up.
