Can I get my Sansa e250 to support micro sdhc?

I have a MicroSD card 2Gb and the database does cover the MicroSD card.  

However, as it currently stands, Rockbox does not support USB transfers via Rockbox, so you have to use original firmware to initate file transfer into the device.  

Original firmare can only read 2 Gb cards max.

So currently you have two choices.

Use a 2 Gig max card in the Micros SD and transfer to the player

Greater than 2 Gig card and use an external card reader currently to transfer data to the MicroSD card.

Either way, I think you'll be fine.  And 35 bucks for an E250.  I may have to pick it up as a backup.

I'm watching woot.com for the next time they have an e200 series
player.  Now that the sansa view is out (and I see some activity
for this one in rockbox development) we should see more e200
players out there cheap.

I purchased a Sansa e250 for my wife this holiday season. I also picked up a 4gb MicroSDhc card.... I talked to sandisk support and they said that v1 of the e250 on supports a max of 2gb microSD cards.

If I install rockbox on my v1 e250 will its be able to read the 4gb mircoSDhc card?

Thanks!

P.Opus:
If you install rockbox, your sansa e250 v1 will support higher than the 2GB max on the current v1 firmware.

Sansa has stated that MicroSD support is a hardware limitation on the V1's but many Rockbox users do use 4GB cards and higher.

Please note that currently, USB transfers are not available via Rockbox, so if you buy a greater than 2GB card all transfers will have to be via a card reader.

Also, cards that are greater than 2GB are not readable by the original firmware, so you will only be able to play back or display the contents of the card via Rockbox.

Hi there, I have a question wich I desperatly need a answer too, I got a 6gb microSDHC card as a christmas gift, my mp3 player (sansa e250) doesnt show ANY of the music files i've put to the card, i've read something bout a program called rockbox (?) that would probably enable me to use my card to it's fullest.. where can i get that program?
