I just got my Sandisk Sansa Fuze this evening. I removed all of the factory installed music, video, etc. I syncronized quite a few things onto the device and when I went to listen to the music this is what happened.
I clicked on Music, Albums and onto the first song and it kept skipping and moving to the second song and third and so on with out playing the song … I have no idea how get it to work …Anybody help me??
It sounds like the files you put on the Fuze aren’t supported file types. Were they from iTunes by any chance?
Thx for replying. 
Some of them have been from itunes. They were from itunes on another computer, burned to a disc and then ripped (WMP) to my computer. I have the tracks on my Sandisk Sansa e250 and they are fine but for the Fuze…It is working that good.
I found something on my Quick Start Guide about " Before you can make a playlist and transfer (or synchronize) them to your Sansa player, you need to show Windows Media Player where you songs are located."
How do I show that?? Maybe bc it doesn’t know where my songs are, it is just moving the file names and not the the entire file…Could that be a reason?
if you import your music into WMP’s library, it will archive and detail the paths of your music. all of WMP’s playlists are saved somewhere in My Documents, but the problem with that is the paths point outside of mydocuments on your computer. but if you sync the playlist using WMP it will recreate a playlist on your device so the paths to the music on the device are correct. playlist gets a little confusing with WMP. =/
Is this a particular Album that is failing, or is it every song you try to play?
Are these WMA files, or MP3?
Did you do a “Sync” from inside WMP11, or did you just copy the files over?
So I don’t have to have a playlist to sync my music on the device…correct?
All of the music I have tried to put on it have done the same thing.
I believe them all to be WMA files.
I have tried going through Windows Explorer and I have tried sync with Windows Media Player 11

Should I update the firmware? I know I have the .07 verson. Would it do me any good to get .11?
Possibly? There is no known reason not to at this point, and they did implement a couple of bug fixes.
Also, in Windows Media Player, right click on one of the songs that you transferred over but will not play and choose Properties. When the new window opens, click on the Media Usage Rights tab at the top of it. Let us know what is written in the white box.
Ok I will look, I just wanted to say; I have a Vista-based laptop and An XP-based desktop. I went to the desktop and added song over to my sansa. They work just fine So besides that, I just need to figure out how the laptop WMP differs for the deskop…
All it says in the box is “The File is not protected.”

Right click on the track again and this time hit “Open File Location”. It’ll open a window in Explorer. This time, right click on the same track and hit “Properties”. Under the General tab, please let us know what it states.
Getting all this figured out is all well and good but honestly you’re making this a lot more complicated than it needs to be. If you set the Fuze to MSC mode (Settings>System Settings>USB Mode>MSC) then your Fuze will be just another hard drive when it’s connected to your computer and you can drag and drop songs onto it directly without any ‘mediating’ software which may or may not do what you want it to do.

FYI you can drag and drop in MTP mode as well. just drop it in the music folder.

Yes, but it’s still mediated, Microsoft designed it to look like the drag and drop functionality of MSC but it’s not the same. It’s significantly more limiting and disallows a lot of functionality that MSC mode has.

If the songs are copy protected they will not play, regardless of how you put them on the player. And the way the Fuze is treating them, it sounds like they are. This is why I rip all my songs in MP3 format, that way there is no chance that WMP will turn copy protection on.
Hmmm…, I went through the steps you sugguested, There was nothing in regards to protection either.
In the box it has information such as… (They are not blank in properties but anything that i need to know is there.)

what is all this functionality you speak of?

How about working on any modern operating system instead of Windows only? How about execute-in-place so you can plug your player into any other computer (not Windows only machines) and use its audio system to play your media? How about the ability to format? How about the ability to upload to the player and download from the player any content you wish?
MTP takes all of that away. That may be OK with you, it’s not with me.
