Solve your MP3 Player Connection Problem.
Check out this tip posted here, i think it will help explain whats going on.

You already have firmware installed in the e280. You can download the Sansa Firmware Updater from the manufacturer's web site at http://www.sansa.com , which will tell you whether or not there is a newer version available for download.

Hello,
On Windows 7 a firmware update should be available with Sansa Firmware Updater, see next site and follow up the instructions in METHOD 1:

In METHOD 2 for having a firmware update manually is explained, when going to Sansa Forums.

The connector on the bottom of the Sansa is NOT compatible with the connector on the iPod. Sansa does not provide any hardware or software to make their devices emulate another manufacturer's device.

If your car has the appropriate connector, you can connect the Sansa via the headphone jack so you can hear your music through the car's speakers.

You can download both the manual and the drivers from the manufacturer's web site at http://www.sansa.com

There should be a little hole labeled reset try pressing that with paperclip.

step by step guide to show u add video on your sansa player.

When the Sansa reads "refreshing database," what it is doing is going through all the songs you've loaded on to it, pulling out the "tag" information (Artist, Album, Song Title, Genre) so it can add this information to its own database which it uses to display the songs to you in its menus.

If it gets stuck during this process, usually it's because of a corrupt song file, or a song file in a format it doesn't understand.

Note that the e280 is only able to play MP3 and WMA audio formats. If you've loaded a different type of audio file onto your Sansa, you'll need to remove them.

If the songs you've recently loaded have all been MP3 and/or WMA, you may have loaded a corrupted file onto your Sansa. Try removing the songs you recently added, and see if the problem goes away.
