i got the same problem with my sansa fuze i downloaded from a coped cd and it tell me i meed a subscription? what do i do?
I had the same problem with my e260. So I added some more songs to it and synchronized it, nothing. Still got the same message. So then I formatted it and then added some songs and it would not add the songs to the player, it gave an error when writing to the player. I use Windows Media Player to add music to the player. So then i updated the firmware and I am still getting the error on adding songs, it will not add anything to the player. I didn’t check the firmware before I updated it so I’m not sure what version was on there first. The new version is the 01.02.24A is the version on it now. Can anybody help me?
same thing i also have the m240 and im using that one now cuz my fuze is giving me hella problems.
i might have to send it back. it really doen’t make sense i bought a cd (kanye west) and i copied it to my wmp 10 and when i add it to my fuze it tells me “subscribe to continue to use your music subscription”
When you transferred your Kanye West CD, be sure that copy protection is turned off, and transfer it again. The file should be synchronized between the sansa and the WiMP 10/11 interface on your PC, but things can happen.
I have an entire group of DRM encoded files on my player as a testbed, and they are playing fine. The DRM license is set up between your PC and the player when “copy protect” is selected. Unchecking “copy protect” avoids this issue. The safest transfer method- the most “portable” (borrowing a term from the days of CP/M)- is MP3.
Right-click on the files while Windows Media player is open, and look at the properties for the Kanye tracks.
If a re-transfer still causes the subscription fault, use the Nuclear Option: format, and load over again. I guarantee that one works every time.

thank you that worked,and i din’t have to erase my whole hard drive lol
I hate to sound so dumb but I am very new to the MP3 world. I don’t understand where to go to do the things you are suggesting. I am not too familiar with Media Player either.
here are the facts:
the book I was ‘reading’ should have ‘expired’ today. but I thought it would only expire on the PC not on the MP3 player. yet, today, I got the ‘synchronize to continue your music subscription’ message and, alas, can’t finish my book.
this book was from NetLibrary.
I downloaded my second book yesterday and, because it was from NCDL using overdrive, I had to download the security program.
-
are my books going to expire on the MP3 player when the license is up?
-
did the security download have something to do with this problem?
-
did the 2nd book cause a problem with the 1st book?
-
or is there some setting that is wrong?
thanks to anyone who can help me to understand what I am doing.
I know that this may be a bit late, as you asked in 2007 and now it’s 2010, but anyways, I had the same Problem on my refurbished Sansa e250 and I fixed the problem by turning it off taking my memory card out, then reloading it, then turning it on, letting the database refresh, and then it worked. Hope this helps you and anyone else who may run into this problem.
P.S. I had all my music on the memory card. And even my own recordings came up with the same message before I did this.
