I apologize if this is the wrong forum - I purchased a Fuze+, and with it a Sandisk 32 GB MicroSDHC card.  I then bought a Sandisk Adapter to get from the Micro Card to my USB card reader.  I then purchased a SanDisk MicroMate reader (SDDR - 117).  But the Adapter won’t physically fit into the USB reader.  What am I missing? Thanks! ---

That is a memory stick reader (some stupid Sony format that bombed), not an SD card reader according to Google. ---

The SDDR-117 reader is only for Memory Stick (that’s a specific format, not a generic term) cards, not SD cards. A question: you bought a micro to full-sized SD adapter for “your” USB reader, THEN you bought a reader? Did you already have another reader, then you bought the SDDR-117 (and if so, did that one not work either?), or did you just mean to say you bought the adapter before the USB reader? ---

Thanks to both of you for the response - so the Micromate is the wrong item, got that.  But I did have another reader - but given the response, it’s probably for the wrong thing as well - it’s a reader that fits SM/xD memory cards?  It’s an old one that worked for my camera memory card (I think the brand it ‘Digital Concepts’).  Ok, so what should I be buying, as obviously I’m clueless. (That was probably obvious from the get go, huh?) ---

Do you even need a SD card reader another? The Fuze+ is itself an SD card reader. If you do want another, pretty much any SDHC card reader from amazon/newegg. The key point being that it supports SD cards 🙂 ---

ok - so I can load onto the sdhc card through the Fuze+?  I thought you couldn’t do that (was that the old Fuze?) - but if you can, you’re right, another reader is unnecessary.   Thanks! ---

You can load files directly to the card through the player on all Sansa mp3 models (that have a card slot), and have been able to for as long as I know, at least 5 years.
