The c250 uses the same USB cable as the e200 series. Luckily, they are even available from the Sansa Store on this website, as well as via sites like Amazon. For the money, I’d recomend the original.
The player should have no problems with standard mp3 or wma files, but they will not display on the device without proper ID3 tags on them. The player navigates through your music based upon these tags, which are part of the mp3 or wma standard.
Depending upon your computer’soperating system, the tag data can be entered by looking at the file properties. With Windows 7, when the file is selected, this info can be viewed and entered directly at the bottom of the screen. Windows Media Player alsohas a tag editor,once you get the hang of it.
Hands down,if you have missing ID3 tag info or album art, MP3Tag is the tool of choice, available for download here.
