I have a Sansa m230 mp3 player. I synced it to WMP and have 3 songs I just cannot get rid of. (Save the MS stuff for another thread.) I changed the sync settings to not sync everything. In WMP it lists the songs I want on there only. When I go through the player, though, there’s 3 that I want to get rid of. Opening the files in My Computer shows the ones I want, but not the ones I want to delete. Any ideas? Going through the mp3 player’s menu I can’t figure how to delete them that way. Thanks for any help. ---

I’m not familiar with your specific player, but isn’t there some way to completely reset the player? I would imagine that with a blank device, WMP would be able to properly synch only the songs you had checked off. (Can’t I please just bitch a little about WMP? My wife just bought me an iPod because she got tired of me whining about how poorly my Phillips MP3 player and WMP “worked” together.)
