Syncing Automatically

• One of the nice features of the Sansa View is that you can connect it to your computer via the USB connection cord and Windows Media Player should automatically recognize it. Once your Sansa View's drivers have been installed on your computer, which occurs the first time you connect the device to your computer, open Windows Media Player. Upon opening the player, the automatic sync should start. It will ask if you'd like to sync the Sansa View to your media library. If you click Finish, the syncing will begin. The automatic sync places your entire media library onto your Sansa View, space permitting.
  
  In the instance that you want to choose which folders to sync automatically, there is a way to do this. On the side of the Sync tab in your media player, there is an arrow. When you find it, click on it to open a menu and select "Set Up Sync" from it. This will let you select the playlists you want to put on your Sansa View. Alternately, you can select to have the media player shuffle which files are uploaded onto your MP3 player.
  
  

Syncing Manually

• For more control over your sync, opt for manual synchronization. With manual syncing, you will need to drag and drop files to your Sansa View and click on the "Start Sync" button. Open Windows Media Player, then connect your Sansa View to your computer. If a notification comes up to automatically sync, click Cancel. This will put you in the Sync tab. On the right-hand side of your player, there will be a column. Drag any playlists and individual songs that you want to be included on your MP3 player over to this column. Once you have the songs you'd like to include in your Sansa View music library, click the "Sync Now" button. This will add the songs and playlists you have chosen to your View. Once the syncing is done, disconnect your player.
