SanDisk Sansa e250?

I am putting music on my Sansa in MSC mode. I drag a group of artists and songs to the drive.

All of the artists show that they are on my drive, but when I disconnect my Sansa, only 6 of the many artists are on my Sansa and can be played. Help please.

    You probably are lacking iD3 tags on the songs. The Sansa doesn't care about how you have the files named, it wants valid iD3 tags. If you don't have this information, they will just be filed under "Unknown Artist". You probably have a ton of songs under this "artist" right now.

    remove bad files =

    Corrupt files for sansa -

    Plug your player in, in MSC mode.

    Right-click on it.

    Click "properties"

    Click "tools"

    Click "Error Checking"

    Check both the boxes on the error checking window that pops up, and click start.

    After it finishes, check your player to make sure your player is normal.

    or

    You may have to format.

    Those files are either corrupt, or are of a different format that your mp3 won't support.
