Fuze won't play next song in list

MP3 players Sansa Fuze

And you previously stated the source of your mp3s…where? Ah, yes, you mentioned emusic along with your own transcoding. 

And you are absolutely sure the tags are ID3v2.3 ISO-8859-1? Without the entire Lord of the Rings trilogy embedded in Comments? 

There’s always the possibility you did get a defective unit, which is what warranties are for. But you’ll never know. Be a nice troll and send Sansafix some test files, chum.

Still doesn’t work after the firmware update. The Fuze is now in the trash and will certainly be the last Sansa product I buy.

Maybe if you’d returned it two months ago when Conversion Box first suggested it you wouldn’t be so crabby today!

Sure it ■■■■■ that you got a bum one, but this could have been all resolved long ago…

[Here is some more detail to my original post - It will advance to the next song in my playlist but it will freeze at the very beginning of that song, with the green play arrow still being displayed.  The elapsed time is 00:00 and the remaining time is the correct full length of the song. Pushing the Pause/Play ‘button’ will toggle the icon between the green play arrow and the 2 vertical pause bars but it will not play the song; the song remains frozen.  I can use the skip forward ‘button’ to go to the next song in the list (and that one will play) and then use the skip back ‘button’ to come back to the frozen song. Then the frozen song will play.  All of this is occurring randomly.  One playlist may play flawlessly from beginning to end and then later the same playlist will freeze between some or all songs…]

I have been having a similar problem with my new sansa fuze 8GB. There are some differences though. When I first plugged it into my computer it downloaded every file it could and it played great. I got onto the forums to look into converting videos and followed all the suggestions and finally had success there. I wanted to build playlists and couldn’t understand why the WMP lists I had would not transition over to my fuze. I read somewhere in the forums about how easy it wa with Rhapsody. So I signed up and ever since, when I play any of my music (my original mp3s, newly purchased wmas or the subscription downloads) I can maybe play a song or 2, or immediately it will crash. The track info says 00:00 in progression, 00:00 in length, the green play arrow is there. I try to skip ahead or backward but it just freezes. When I try to mess around, I sometimes get a white screen. I shut it off and turn it back on a few seconds later and it’s back to being stuck on the same track, or if I’m lucky, it’s skipped to something else, will play a bit, and then crash again. Also sometimes I do get the same scenario that paulec described above.

I want to try the solutions suggested previously but just wanted to know if there were something else I should do first. I love my fuze. Only had it for 2 weeks and can’t live without! Please help. Thank you.
