How to Rip Music from My Sansa to the Computer

The Sansa MP3 player is developed by SanDisk. The player operates similar to a USB flash drive. Files can be stored on the device by copying and pasting them or by dragging and dropping them with the mouse. No software is necessary to manage files on the Sansa player, as is required with other devices like the iPod and Zune player. To copy songs from the device, you apply almost the same method as transferring them to the device.
