SMC is really only recommended not required. The reason it says that in the marketing material is a legal thing because the Fuze+ does not support most video in it’s native resolution. Conversion is required but SMC is not actually required. You can use any converter you choose as long as you convert the file to the specs required.
Are you sure it isn’t just the Quick User’s Guide? That’s a barebones guide and gives just enough info to get you started. A full manual will be available online. It’ll be listed here
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.
