Chapter 5: Playing Your Media

5.1. Playing Music

Sansa Fuze+ player comes with the versatile capability to play an array of different audio/music file formats, including MP3, WMA, secure WMA, FLAC, AAC/M4A (DRM-free iTunes® songs), WAV, OGG-Vorbis, and Audiobooks formats.

Your player is equipped to read the associated digital information which comes with most audio files (called “ID3 tag” metadata) to automatically associate album art, artist, album, and genre. This enables your Sansa Fuze+ player to sort your music automatically so you can enjoy it with ease. Under the “Music” category on your device, this includes featuring your music sorted by:

•Artist – presented in alphabetical order (note: ignores any “the” in front of an artist’s name)

•Album

•Song

•Genre

•Playlist – either downloaded from your computer or generated on the device

It is also possible to listen to your music via “recently played” (Top-10 most recently played songs); “Shuffle” mode, which plays all of the songs in your device in random order; individually by song; or via playlists that you can either create on your computer, or which you can dynamically create on the fly in a “Music Go List”.
