The Sansa is a brand of portable media player manufactured by SanDisk. As with similar MP3 players, you can add any songs that you have on your computer to the Sansa. This includes music that you have downloaded onto your computer. Although you can't download any content directly onto the Sansa, you can use one of numerous websites or programs to download music to your computer. From there, you can use Windows Media Player to add those songs to the Sansa.
Step 1
Go to the Windows Media Player website (see Resources below) to download and install the program if it's not already on your computer.

Then, search for the Limewire folder mentioned in Step 4. Select the Limewire folder and then click "OK" to add those songs to your Windows Media Player library.
Step 7
Plug your Sansa into your computer using the USB cord that came with the player. Wait about 10 seconds and click the "Sync" tab.
Step 8
Search for the Limewire songs that you added to your Windows Media Player library. To do this, click the "Songs" option on the far left portion of the program.
Step 9
Right-click on the songs and choose "Add to Sync List." Do this for all of the downloaded songs.
