The Sansa differentiates between songs transferred via MTP mode and those transferred via MSC mode.
|
|
|
|
|
The demo songs are all in the *MTP area* and thus you won't see them when looking at the device in MSC mode.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
But it is possible, to mount the device in MTP mode also. You just have to install the packages [libmtp8](apt://libmtp8), [mtpfs](apt://mtpfs)
|
|
|
|
|
and maybe [mtp-tools](apt://mtp-tools). Now connect your player in MTP mode and do a
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
mtpfs /mnt/sansa
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
(make sure, the directory `/mnt/sansa` exists before trying the mount command.)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Now you should have access to the MTP area of your Sansa where you can delete the demo songs or put new files in.
