A portion of your media is almost certainly corrupt (or non-standard).

Go to:

System -> Debug (Keep Out!) -> Metadata log

And enable it, then re-initiate the Database. When it fails, you will have a log of all the successful database entries left on the device storage, the very last item on that list is the file immediately before (in alphabetical order) the file causing the issue here. Remove/replace/repair problematic entries as they are detected.

I created an account just to answer to this.
I had this problem and fixed it by:
1) Adding a folder with music to /Sansa Clip/ Music
2) Adding another folder with music (may be the same) to /Sansa clip/##MUSIC#/
3) Adding another folder to the micro SD card, then add the rest of your music.

I don't know which one of them did the job, but it fixed it.

Hope this helps!!
