Sansa e250 headache

I've been fiddling with this thing all night long and I think I've finally fixed it... hopefully.

A couple of weeks ago I went through and ran a complete reformat on it so I could update the firmware because it had ceased to accept my Napster subscription... which had been working fine before ::shrug:: Anyways, after that there were tons of songs that popped up as "Bad Tracks."

I loaded the Sansa in MSC, went into the SYSTEM folder, found the DATA folder, and deleated the PD-whatever .dat file, which caused the Sansa to reload and supposedly reintegrate all of my music. It worked for some songs, but there were a whole load of others that still refused to show.

Using Winamp, I tried to manually pick and choose songs to remove and replace, but the stupid thing kept insisting that it was full when I knew damn well it wasn't. Finally, filled with frustration, I loaded it up in MSC mode, clicked on the entire Sansa main file, and under Properties ordered it to take off the Hidden on all files. Suddenly, all of my Goldfinger songs are back, there's my t.ATu, and my Puffy Ami Yumi's are back again. Unfortunately, though, Tricky's "Dear God" still refuses to be anything but a "Bad Track" no matter how many times I've reloaded it, but... Whatever.

I'm going to bed. Screw all the rest.
