Your credit card # is needed to set up your account, free trial or not. If you decide you don’t like the service you can cancel within the 30-day trial period and your credit card won’t be charged. But they make it easy (for them) by already having your acct. info so they can charge you on Day 31, hoping you have forgotten to cancel and that you decide to stay subscribed.
um wat about the software with it I click troubleshoot and it says that something is blocking it virus scan, fire wall, and or parental settings, ETC…We have tried exitin out of all these things wats wrong?
I signed up for the 30 day free trial (which does require a credit card number) and downloaded some music into my library. If I try and drop the music into my Clip, I am told that I have to purchase the music. Shouldn’t I be able to get this music on my player as part of the subscription?
If you are prompted to purchase the music, after signing in, it may be that the Clip is in MSC mode. The Sansa needs to be in MTP mode to handle the WMDRM transfers with their license data.
Look at the Clip in Rhapsody. If it appears in capital letters as E: SANSA CLIP for example, the device is in the wrong mode.
On the device (once unplugged), go to Settings > USB Mode > MTP and plug in again.
The Clip will appear now as Sansa Clip 4GB for example. Right click on the Clip, and select Authorize.
Once authorized, you can drag and drop your favorite music to the device.
OK I’m 14yrs old and I don’t have a credit card,neither does my mom what am I supposed to do about the 30day trail.Should I just let it go to waste??? I don’t have the MP3 yet. Is ThisGoingToBeaprobleminthe future??? PleaseHELP!!!

In the long run, you’re far better off loading the CDs from your favorite bands rather than trying to find them on a P2P site. Try a reputable source like Amazon, Napster, Rhapsody, and others, even check your favorite band’s website for downloads.
With peer networks, you have no guarantees of just what you’re getting.
Well, they generally frown on people taking CDs out of the store without buying them first, so, yes, you probably have to buy them.
There are places to download music for free, legally. Check the Off Topic boards, I believe there are some threads there about free, legal download sites.
My free 30 day subscription to Rhapsody through Best Buy.com ended a few weeks ago and since then have tried to log on to the site with my user and pw to renew and synchronize it and I can’t. I had told a friend that I wanted to sign up for their (Rhapsodys)service and they told me right off not to as they had it and got ripped off by them. Anyway, now the problem I have – I have 200 songs that I loaded off of their site onto my sansa clip during the free trial and now can’t listen to any of the music I have on there and want to know if I can still keep these songs if I transfer to Napster or any other service, or do I lose them all and have to reload them on through the new site that I choose? I don’t have alot of money to spend each month, so I am at a loss as to the best site to use and what to do with my songs. I need help please - Thanks.
I am having the same problem. I had 30 free with rhapsody and downloaded all this music and now can not use it because it said that the 30 days are up. But, was told the same thing not to use rhapsody because they are a rip off…now what to do? Do I have to go and up load all these songs again somewhere else. What would they let you up load the music and then take the music away from you? That really pissed me off. Now I have this SanDisk Clip and can not listen to the music. I need help… I too do not have alot of money to go to sites and pay a montly fee…HELP.
