Download Firmware Sandisk Sansa Fuze 01.02.26 / 02.02.26

Sandisk has released new firmwares for its Sansa Fuze portable media players. These devices are equipped with 2, 4 or 8GB of internal memory and are also not averse to microSD/SDHC memory cards. Depending on the hardware revision, a separate firmware is available, but the changes are the same. New in this release is, among other things, that the music database can contain twice as many songs, for which a format of the player is required. Below is the full changelog for this release:

New features:

• Supports slotRadio card playback through microSD slot
  Note: slotRadio cards are available for purchase on slotradio.org starting April 28th
• Replay Gain feature added to provide volume normalization for music playback
  Note: 3 settings of Replay Gain available: Off / Song (provide normalization throughout current playing song only) / Album (normalization for whole playing album). Song volume can also be pre-gained at 1.5 dB intervals
• Folder Navigation feature added to conveniently locate songs stored and sorted by folders
  Note: For MTP content navigation, go to Music > Folders and select MTP folder first
