Sansa E200 downloads, playlists and bookmarks

(1/2) > >>

Bob_Taylor:
I cannot seem to get the hang of getting files in the right place where I can listen and bookmark. I have been successful a couple of times, but it is hit and miss.

Here is what I am trying to do. I download book files and unzip them to a directory on the Sansa (Vol. 007 for instance). I see them on the computer and they exist in an Album in the Sandisk operating system, but I cannot find them under "Files" in the Rockbox OS. I want to find them, make a playlist of them, and be able to bookmark as I listen to the files.

Can anyone give me a step by step to show me where I am going wrong?

Thanks

Make sure your USB mode is set to MSC and not MTP.

I don't have a problem unzipping or downloading, just finding the files. I finally got the last one that I downloaded and it seems to have something to do with initializing the database and then restarting, but I'm still not clear on the procedure.

saratoga:
You mean that you cannot see music files from the file browser when you browse to the proper folder?  Are you in MSC mode when you copy them over?

evilnick:
If you can download and unzip the files, then simply use the Files option to navigate to where you placed them on the Sansa.

E.g. if your Sansa appears as drive E:, and the directory is "Vol 7", then choose Files then open "Vol 7" and your files should be there.
Make sure that you are showing Supported/Music/All files and not Playlists too. In fact, it's a very good idea to have a thorough read of the fine manual.
