All right. I'm working through this with trial and errorS. lots of weird errors.
I'll try to make this as simple as possible.
1. I want to download all FLAC files of smokin' joe's STS 9 recording:
http://www.archive.org/details/sts92008-07-26.earthworks.flac16fI download all of them AND the ffp, md5, and info sheet.
2. open up foobar2000. drag songs and ffp, md5, and info sheet into the playlist as well.
3. select songs, right-click > tagging > live show tagger. the info sheet is pulled up correctly and track names update without any problem.
4. I save playlist on my desktop in a folder called playlists
5. plug sansa in. copy sts9 music folder and then the playlist into the same folder.
6. disconnect sansa and I find the sts9 recording to be in the unknown folder.
I know my method is mostly right because it worked with a little feat recording I did the same way and a phish recording that I DLed via torrent. I'm also saving the playlist with the same exact name as it appears on archive or torrent. ex: sts92008-07-26.earthworks.flac16f I would rather shorten it to sts92008-07-26
one more thing.
there is a playlist folder on the internal memory but when I drag playlists into that, no music played on the sansa.
this is a really kick ass music player but it certainly doesn't behave like the iriver
