3. Press down once on the Play/Pause/Up Button to play the music files. Once your
selected music has played, your player will play each music file, one after another.
To pause the music, briefly press the Play/Pause/Up Button.
4. To change the volume of your music as it plays, scroll the Rotary Wheel in the top
right corner of your player. Scrolling the rotary wheel clockwise increases the
volume and scrolling the rotary wheel counter-clockwise decreases the volume.
5. To stop playing music, you have three choices:
Press and hold down the Power/Menu Button until all the dark squares
disappear under the “Powering Down” message.
Navigate to another song with the Previous/Fast Reverse or Next/Fast Forward
Buttons. When you stop, the song displayed onscreen will play.
Press the Power/Menu Button briefly to navigate the software Menu to switch to
FM Radio mode. To learn about how onscreen menus work, see the
Navigating the Software Menus chapter that begins on Page 21.
Once your music starts to play, you can use the player buttons to:
Skip backwards or forwards to the next song by pressing once on the Previous/Fast
Reverse Button (backwards) or Next/Fast Forward Button (forwards).
Want to switch to another song while your music plays? Press the Power/Menu Button
to display the software menu onscreen. Press the Repeat/AB/Down Button to scroll and
highlight your menu choices. Press the Select Button to select options. First, scroll to
the Play Music item and select it. Scroll to select from a list of ways to access music, for
example, by artist, and then select your choice. Repeat this scroll and select process to
find a song. When your song is highlighted, press the Select Button to play it.
Transferring Music
To transfer music from your computer to your player:
1. Open the file browser on your computer and navigate through the folders to the drive
assigned to your Sansa MP3 Player.
2. Drag and drop music files from your computer to your player. You also can use
Rhapsody and other software to save files directly to your player.
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.
