My PC no longer automatically recognizes SanDisk Sansa MP3 Player.
If you are using different MP3 players, each tries to set itself up as the default player and so due to the conflict your PC may not be able to recognize your player. Read this article and resolve the issue.
It's not that the programs won't recognize it. ‘My computer’ does not provide the Sansa M200 with a drive letter, thus the programs don't include it in their device lists.
If you have used any other player, say iPod, the iPod interface has set itself to be the default mp3 player. To change this, according to tech.yahoo.com,
“...If the wrong MP3 player leaps into action when you double-click a song - and you can't fix the file associations from within the correct program - follow these steps to change the MP3 player that is assigned to MP3 files under Windows XP:
1. Right-click any MP3 file in Windows Explorer and choose Open With.
Windows displays the Open With dialog box.
2. When the list of programs pops up, select Choose Program.
3. In the Recommended Programs list, choose the program that you want to play your songs by clicking the program's name.
If a specific player you've installed doesn't appear in the list, click the Browse button, navigate to the program on your system, click to select it, and then click the Open button.
4. Select the Always Use the Selected Program to Open This Kind of File check box.
5. Click OK to save your changes.
Now, whenever you click an MP3 file, your newly selected MP3 player should pop into action to play it.
If you experiment with several different MP3 players, each player tries to set itself up as the default player. Following this procedure lets you choose the player that should automatically jump up and begin playing MP3 files."
