Does anybody know in what format the Fuze+ records? Does it use WAV? MP3? WMA? I prefer the latter two. Less space. Also, can you customize the settings, so you decide which quality to record in? Does it support line-in?
Well, it worked when I originally posted it, but it appears not to work now. If you read the 1st post from slotmonsta in the Sansa Fuze+ thread you’ll see it does say:
“For enhanced versatility, the device also includes a recordable FM radio, gapless playback and a microphone for audio capture.”
I’ve edited my previous post to point to this. Thanks for the heads up.

I got my Fuze+ yesterday and have a question. I’m trying to figure out how to move forward and backward through the tracks of an album. The only way I can figure it would work is to use the tap points on the ends of the horizontal bar. But when I tap on them, it jumps 3 tracks or more. I realize that you can back up to the track listing, but with every other player I’ve used, you can navigate from track to track from the “Now playing” screen. Am I missing something?
**** Followup****
I figured it out. Somehow, while playing around with all of the settings, I accidentally switched it on to “shuffle”. When I turned shuffle off, it started stepping through the tracks one by one. And you can swipe left or right on the horizontal bar as well as using the tap points to do so.
No, there’s no recommended Class card for the Fuze+ or any of the Sansa players. Anything larger than a Class 2 though, in my opinion is a waste of money. The Class (or speed) rating of the card only pertains to the “writing to” the card, not the “reading from” it.
The faster cards are designed for use in cameras. While you may save a couple minutes in transfer time if you intend to load the card up completely in one fell swoop, you’d have to use a high-speed card reader see this time savings. If the card is in the player while you’re transferring the files, your transfer speed is limited by the reader circuitry inside the player.
My advice? Don’t waste your money on the faster cards if all you’re going to use them for is an mp3 player.
my battery is dead but can still play on my pc can i save my music on my pc and transfer it to a new mp3 or i pod???
can anybody help me
It’s unlikely your battery is ‘dead’ and won’t hold a charge after so short a time. I don’t know when you got it, but the model itself (Fuze+) has only been out a couple years. The batteries are designed to last much longer than that. Not to say it cannot happen, just that this possibility is extremely rare.
If it is not holding a charge (or is not charging) there are several things that could be at fault; your cord, the USB port, the charging circuitry within the player, etc. If something in the player itself has failed, and the unit is out of warranty, there’s not much you can do but of course if it is still within the warranty period, SanDisk will replace it at no charge.
But first, try solutions or remedies that are within your control, like trying a different USB port, a different computer, a different cable/cord.
If all fails then yes, you can transfer your music on the player back to your computer for re-transfer to a different device. But . . . they should already be backed up somewhere (like your computer or external hard drive) in the first place for just such a contingency. You can simply reverse the process you used to transfer the files to the player, or drag & drop (copy & paste) from the player to your computer.
