I highly dought that a usb hub would help the issue. It has to be something with the mp3 player itself, since my dads still works *same usb cable, same computers, same ports*. I just tried coping everything from my dads m250 under the msc to my mothers under msc just to see if by pure dumb luck it would work. Nope, but I did notice that my dads music was under “music” with msc usb enable on the m250. Find it kinda odd that my mothers m250 doesnt show that. Maybe you can grab your music under there, not sure. I will format my moms m250 under msc usb setting.
----- 20 min later —
Well after the format… it did erase everything including the files I copied over from my dads m250, but they came back, so they where not the os files. It even erased the music that I could not access. It didnt fix the MTP error, but I did creat a folder called music under msc usb setting and uploaded a song, the device sees it and plays it. It works but not the same way it use too.
Steps I took.
on the m250 press menu and go to Settings then to USB after that set it to MSC
after setting it to MSC plug it into the pc, should pop up under my computer, right click on it “please make sure u right click on the correct device” mine says sansa m250 under my computer. Click on format, and click on ok. ALL data will be lost. At least all hidden music is gone too, which is a good thing for me. Now double click on the sansa m250 and right click, creat folder, name it music, then dump your music into that folder.
Not exactly a perfect fix, but at least I didnt have to throw this mp3 player into the dumpster.
