This chapter helps you get started playing music
on your SanDisk Sansa e100 Series MP3 Player.
Playing Music
Your player can play music files stored in MP3, WMA, secure WMA and Audible audio file
formats. This chapter shows you how to upload and play your music files.
Connecting and Disconnecting
Your player includes a USB connection cable so that you can transfer music files from your
computer to your player or SD card. The small end fits into the USB port at the top of your
player. The larger flat end connects to the USB port on your computer.
To play music, first upload files from your computer to your player. Follow these steps:
1. Use the USB connector cable provided with your player to connect the USB port on
the top of your player to an open USB port on your computer. The player will
appear as a new Removable Disk on your computer. (Can’t find the USB port on
your player? See The Basic Controls section on Page 3.)
2. Drag your music files to the player or transfer music files to your player with
software tools like Rhapsody.
NOTE: Because your Sansa Player automatically organizes your music by artist, album,
song title, genre, and year, you only need to copy your music to the player. Don’t worry
about organizing your music. Your Sansa Player menus make it easy to find your music.
Using the Music Controls
Your player has two modes of operation: Music and FM Radio. To play your music files, you
need to be in Music mode. Follow these steps:
