Sansa Fuze Firmware Update 01.02.31 & 02.03.33

The latest (build 31) is definitely the one to run.  If your Fuze is stuffed like a lunch sack, as mine often is, since I carry transient files (music from Rhapsody Channels and podcasts), there’s a simple trick.

Temporarily transfer 100MB of music from your Fuze to the desktop, then install the firmware.  You can then reload your music if desired.

Follow the manual installation instructions.  If you don’t have the latest version, you can alternately use the Sansa Updater, as it’s designed only to update with a version higher than that on the device.  It isn’t designed to do a reinstallation, or repair of an aborted attempt.

One caveat: if there wasn’t enough memory available for the swap, and the bin file is still there in the root directory, it may install successfully once there’s enough memory available upon disconnect.  Otherwise, delete the file and try again.
