Hi,

I have a 4GB Sansa  e260R.  I love... loved it.  Due to some problems on Rhapsody's end they refuse to take my money any longer.  Word of advice to anyone using the service, don't let your credit card expire while listed as your source of payment.  You'll have no end of troubles.  While I sit back and gather my strength for another go at their tech department, and to ask myself if I truly hate myself that much, I'd still like to be able to USE my Sansa.  I don't have access to the vast numbers of tracks that I had available during the subscription but I still have my CD's and a number of other .mp3 tracks.  Using Rhapsody itself to import these files was working till I realized that about half of my collection was missing.  For some reason Rhapsody REFUSES to acknowledge the existance of these files.  The majority of them seem to be the files that I ripped myself.  I try copying them directly to the Sansa and they aren't recognized at all.  I've been thrashing about on the internet for a couple of days now trying to find a solution for this.  There's nothing on Sansa's site that helps and most people on the net seem to not use Rhapsody with their Sansa's.  I've thought about using windows to format the player and wondering if that might break whatever magic voodoo Rhapsody has cast on the player but I'm also a little leary about just turning it into an ungainly 4gb thumb drive.  

Does anyone here have any idea what i can do?  Will the windows format work?  Is there a different program I can use?  Where the magical fairy who enables foreign tech departments to  actually solve problems lives?

Any help you guys can provide is greatly, greatly appreciated.
