How to: Put your Sansa View in MSC mode
![[blog image]](/imagelib/contentitem/10696/10696-w150h150.jpg)
Older SanDisk players had two modes: MSC (mass storage class) and MTP (media transfer protocol).
These modes could be selected from the menu.
These modes could be selected from the menu.
The View apparently assumes you only ever want to use MTP mode. This is fine, unless you have Windows home edition. But there is a way to use MSC mode on the Sansa View.
Here's how.
- With your View powered off, plug in the "SanDisk" end of the cable, but not the USB end.
- Turn on your View.
- Slide the switch to "hold" - you should see the "lock" icon.
- While watching the screen, press the left side of the scroll wheel and hold it down until you see the icon go off and back on. You should be in MSC mode now.
- Plug the USB cable into your computer and Windows should do its finding new drives thing.
In MSC mode you can Drag-n-drop files into the MUSIC folder directly using Windows Explorer.
When you are done, be sure to "Safely Remove Hardware", just like any other USB drive.
This is a quick and easy way to put your View into MSC mode, if you are having problems. Just remember, if you turn off the unit, it will be back to the normal MTP mode the next time you turn it on.
