Express Problems - Not always seeing songs?

SanDisk MP3 players All other MP3 players
1

I just got my Express today from Amazon, and while I love it, there small problems are really killing me.

First, when I’m browsing through songs, I’ve found that if I select “Play All”, it automatically says “No Songs”, and when I proceed to go into each Album folder, it says “No Songs”. If I go back to that same artist a minute later, and go directly into the Album folders, the songs appear.

What is going on here?

Also, I’m using Mac OS X (Powerbook), would this affect it? I had no problem moving songs on, but the player did sometimes randomly shut off when I came upon a “No Song” barrier.

Any thoughts? I will be calling SanDisk in the next week, as I don’t see why my player sometimes recognizes songs, and then at times doesn’t.

Thanks

Did you put the songs in the music folder?  What files type are they?

They are all MP3 files, a few might be MPEG-4, but those seem to work. I did place them in the Music folder.

The Express will only play MP3, not MPEG-4.

I have exactly the same problem. Selecting another artist and a defined song works. Choosing “play all” fails. Haven’t found a solution yet for this ennoying problem.

Have you tried formatting it?  Sounds like a database issue to me.
