I have the Sandisk Sansa and when there's data transferring, there's a little rotating circle. I don't know if yours has that. When the circle stops rotating, I just pull the plug. I've tried "ejecting" the external drive icon, but it doesn't do anything.
Can someone tell me how to remove this player from the usb connector after download? Because I really dont want to ruin it.
