SanDisk Sansa Clip MP3 Player Questions & Answers
WMP says it cannot access the file,might be in use,proxy settings
Windows Media player has limited options for playing different formats of file. But it can be corrected. Try download the full CODEC pack. You can get it free, but always choose the advanced options from the download site, as it might try and change or add new browsers or other software.
Once installed it should play any file.

I lost it off my pc.can t use it anymore
I have had similar issues. What I found wasansa away until it s that if I put the sansa mp3 player away for several days or long enough to wear down the battery / capacitor it would recharge and work correctly.
You may also need to look into the USB cable a newer driver for the computer, and if all that checks out and you still have problems look for a forum of users that could have more to offer.
How to fix a sandisk fat is corrupted please recover fat
You could try the following:
Start with the Clip turned OFF. Slide the power switch down to the HOLD position. Press and HOLD the center button depressed until it is recognized by the PC- give it a few seconds.
The Clip's display will state "connected" with the device now in MSC mode.
You can now repair the File Allocation Table (FAT) using Windows' chkdsk utility.
Open My Computer and find the Clip a listed under "devices with removable storage" as a flash drive. Let's say it displays as E: SANSA CLIP for example. Our assigned drive letter is E:
From the Run box under Start, enter cmd and press Enter. You will get a DOS window.
Enter chkdsk E: /f and press Enter. The /f toggle tells the utility to fix the errors.
After clicking on the Safely Remove icon in the taskbar, or right clicking on the Clip and selecting Eject, unplug the Clip.
Try powering it up again, and see if all is well.

500 songs, all gone but wont allow other downloads, "too full"
Re: 500 songs, all gone but wont allow other downloads, "to full"
Use settings "format" on mp3 player. This will delete any hidden files. If you download in one format (say like Ubuntu) and delete them under another (say Windows), files can remain in *.trash which is hidden. To avoid this in the future, try deleting with shift+del as it will bypass the trash folder.
Why i have to wiggle the headphone jack to get sound
Two possibilities:
1) either the earbud plug has a loose connection, or
2) a soldier joint in the player itself is cracked.
Have you tried different earbuds? If that fixes the problem, then yea!
If new earbuds don't fix the problem, the it's likely a cracked soldier joint. Cracked joints are easy to repair, IF you have the right soldiering iron and are a careful working who enjoys learning new skills.
Good luck.
My MP3 got wet and won't come on. help
You probably are not going to get this working again... But, there is a small chance that if you put it aside for a week or two it may, just maybe dry internally and work.
Have my earphones on but can not hear music
You could try using your earphones with another device to see if they are working properly. For example, I think my earphones have a broken wire in them because when the earphone plug revolves up or down in the jack the sound cuts out. When I turn the plug around a little, the sound comes back. (I am sure you had the volume turned up :)
