File names changed on computer are different once download to player

I downloaded several songs from different sources (as per usual) (as I use my Fuze for music and nothing else)  and changed their original download names into something I woud recognize. When placed on the device, the file names will appear in cryllic, half recognized japanese, or a series of numbers. 

 

As mentioned, the Fuze reads the ID3 tags, not the file names (unless you use Folder mode in the Music menu). My guess is that your tags are not the format that Sansa players recognize ( ID3v2.3 ISO08859-1 ).That’s why you’re seing the odd characters.

MP3TAG can make short work of correcting the tags; you can do it ‘en masse’, a folder at a time. Just change the Write settings (in Tools) to the format above.
