I'm hoping someone can help with my quandery. I spent about an hour with the SanDisk help line and none it solved my problem. This included downloading some firmware with the tech guy holding my hand the whole time. When none of his fixes changed anything and after we hung up, I downloaded Windows real player 10.0 so that's the latest and greatest. Went through all the steps again, but no cigar.
SanDisk e140 is the player type and it holds 1 gb.
I have an 11 hour (159 mb) audio book. I check it out from my local library and successfully downloaded it to my PC and moved it to my mp3 player, in Window real player it shows all the mb are on my mp3 player, but when I look at the player display it shows only 1:54 hours of playtime and I listened to that point and it just ends abruptly.
Thank you to anyone who can either commiserate or solve my "issue."
Have you renamed all of the audio files in the audio book? I also use my SanDisk 1 gig for audio books. At first they were either not showing up or out of order no matter how I put them on. After much fooling around, I renamed all of my files. First I load them into my computer, then I erase each files name and put in 1, 2, 3, etc... I cannot have any other file name listed or it doesn't work. Even if the # is first. Then I make a folder in the SanDisk named 'Book 5' or whatever and I copy and paste all of the files into the new folder. I'm not sure if this will help you, but I hope it does. Good luck.
Hi,
Thank you for this new idea. From what I can tell the audiobooks one can check out from my library system (for free yippee), load as one single file no matter how large the file. I will try renaming the file as I haven't tried that. Because they show up as one large file and not separate files for each or several chapters, I don't know if this will work. I don't know of a way to break up the single file, but will try the renaming idea and then continue grinding on the problem as time permits. I'll try your rename idea right now as I have a few minutes before my thundering herd of a family returns home.
I greatly appreciate your responding with how you handled your files.

I am having the exact same problem. I can download audio books from CDs, although they play randomly and I have to work on the renaming part, but I would really like to download net libary books--the single huge files. It looks like they have loaded and are playing, but there is no sound coming through. Anyone have any ideas?
