Before I buy my sister a sansa clip

• Before you buy a Clip

  for women, I have a small question. It will make my Sansa SanDisk "lost his head", if I load the Clip and its software on the same PC/profile? I do not automatically synchronize when I attach my SanDisk, just to load and to manually transfer MP3 files. Thank you for taking the time to read this and for any comment.

  I am only guessing, but I think the answer is: they will work as well under the same profile of pc.    I have a Sansa Fuze and Sansa Clip, using the same software of Sansas update without any problem.

  The update of the firmware can be found here with a few Commons answers questions http://www.sandisk.com/Retail/Default.aspx?CatID=1376

• Sansa Clip + short circuit

  My sansa clip + stops or crashes whenever the slightest Pressure is applied to the front. I'm relatively sure that there is a short circuit somewhere in the unit. This makes using it almost impossible and incredibly infuriating that it accepts several tries to get to what I want to hear without freezing. Whenever it freezes and if off, it resets to where it was when I turned it on, which is also irritating. I tried to restart it and I'm relatively sure that it is not a software problem. I had the player for about two years, although I him have not used exclusively as I had a phone that played music (I lost this phone last week). This problem has been present for several months and I'm not very eager to buy a new player, as the clip has been very useful and well done before this problem.

  Looks like it's a Goner. Fortunately, they are relatively expensive. It's not as if you replace a Cowon for $250 - $ 300.

• Questions on Sansa Clip + units purchased in different stores: there are slight differences?

  Hello all-

  My spouse and I bought a SanDisk Sansa Clip + 4 GB in different stores the same day.  We intend to keep only one and the packaging is slightly different, so after a brief purchase background, I have some questions as to the differences between the two in order to solicit advice as to who to keep and which you want.

  CONTEXT OF PURCHASE:

  Two units have been sold at the same price, both have the same UPC and the return of the policies/guarantees for two stores seem to be identical.  The color of each is the same (black) and the exercise of copyright for packing at the rear is 2010 for both, that is: (c) 2010 SanDisk Corpation.  We have not broken the seal on each box and do not want to facilitate the return of one.

  What is different?

  I bought my unit to H.H.Gregg here in the United States, and the number above the same UPC's:

  SDMX18R-004GK-C57

  And here's the UPC number:

  80-56-09564 - 004 G

  My spouse bought at best buy and the number above the UPC:

  SDMX18R-004GK-A57B

  And here is the UPC:

  80 56-09570 - 004 G

  In addition, those bought at H.H.Gregg indicates 'Software Rhapsody', and the Rhapsody logo under 'quick start guide' in the column of "Content" on the left side of the box while one bought at best buy Rhapsody No mention outside of the box.  And with the exception of a white banner with "Sansa Clip + 4 GB" on the face at the bottom of the box purchased at best buy, the type of packaging, graphics and colors look identical.  Both made in China.

  MY QUESTIONS:

  1 - does anyone know of any slight difference between the two?

  2. that contains software Rhapsody and the other and if so is the inclusion of this software an additional benefit?  (Never used Rhapsody, but my understanding is that it is similar to iTunes?)  All opinions on this topic is welcome, although I've never used iTunes and maybe not a similar service.  The software takes more space and it is difficult to remove if I don't want to?)

  3. I suspect the above number ending by "-A57B" (i.e. with a ' B' versus without him) indicates Sansa units shipped to the and sold through Best Buy, where the 'B '.  Is this correct?

  4. However, the numbers which could describe the difference between two low, the middle parts which are "- 09570 -" and "- 09564-"? "»  Is the '- 09570 -"a model a little later?  (Again, the "-09570-" is that of HHGregg, without any indication of Rhapsody.)

  5. who would keep you, or is it just a case of flip a coin?

  Sorry for nit-picky issues, but I recall reading some interest in the version material different numbers with the other units of Sansa and the benefits of one over the other and I was wondering if there might be a hardware update version at play here as well.

  Thanks for your time! :-)

  =================================================

  Changed to correct typo:

  The first issue of the unit to buy at best buy should have a 'B' added at the end, as I was writing it under 'MY QUESTIONS'.  It is:

  SDMX18R-004GK-A57B

  =================================================

  Edit #2 to fix typo:

  "column" vs "colum".

  • There are two slightly different OLED controllers, a new is no longer requires an offset of 2 pixels and WRT different brightness/contrast adjustment. It is versions in Rockbox.

  MM-

  Interesting, thank you for researching it! I tried before that my post came but dry.

  Until then the objective eye differences?  I would be particularly interested in distinctions of subjective performance between the tuner chips, if any, that the radio will receive a daily use.  Also welcome all favor referring to other physical differences such as brightness/contrast screen.

  Still, I guess there is no way to distinguish between the two by the package box numbers and that a practical diagnosis is necessary?

  Thanks to all the other replies, in particular the ideas of Rhapsody.

  (Incidentally, I'm curious to know if there are differences in sound quality - dynamic, range, volume, all - between the Clip + and Sansa alays such as the "rocket" or same-track playback on each indistinguishable?)

  Thank you!

  JVR

  JVR, I don't think that there should be no difference in performance between them. Most likely the changes have occurred due to a different provider offering a better price on a part of SanDisk. My two readers Clip + the two appear identical in every way. And insofar as comparing them to the "rocket", I have two rockets as well, and they seem to everyone to play and hear the same way, at least using the Sansa firmware.

• Power outage Sansa Clip

  Hello

  I have a 2 GB Sansa Clip I bought about 4-5 years ago and have been very happy with it.

  He runs the version of the 01.01.30A software.

  However, recently and for no apparent reason suffering from power cuts.

  It would just turn off, no matter how much battery there left, how long it has been running or what he does. And when we turn on (which is sometimes hard to do) he can't remember the last thing he was playing.

  After further tests it seems to turn off when put under different angles, almost as if there is a piece on the inside that is open/close the connection. When shaking a slight ratteling inside there, but I can't be certain that's not making noise power switch.

  Of course, this looks like a hardware problem.

  So, how can I open it and fix it? Is there a diagram somewhere I can look at?

  Thank you

  Max

  Well, I opened it and looked around in there.

  True, the battery had detached from its adhesive strips and pulled the loose battery negative cable.

  Gently, I took out the battery and was able to resolder the wire and test that it works before you all shut up.

  My double-sided adhesive foam Strip seemed to be too thick, so I used a drop of silicone glue to prevent the battery from moving around.

  All together again once, case snapped back and forth between them well.

  A little notation around the seam is a small price to pay for a media player that fully operational once again.

  Thanks for all your suggestions!

• Sansa Clip + question

  Hello, I am really considering buying the Sansa Clip + for the race, and I just want to know one thing.

  When in Shuffle mode and you accidentally skip a song, are you able to return to the song you just jump by pressing the back button?

  I only ask this because my Archos can not, she keeps just still dragging on the back button.

  Thanks in advance!

  Best regards, Daniel.

  Yes.

• Help! My Sansa Clip + is no longer recognized by my PC when connected by USB port!

  Reading, the latter time, ' said, 'written' only when connected. Normally, he alternates between the 'Reading' and 'Writing' when it is connected to the PC and, therefore, it USED TO BE recognized by the PC in these conditions. The device is not recognized in Windows Explorer as a device or disk as usual. I use Windows 7. The device is not recognized by Windows Media Player synchronization purposes: I can't synchronize playlists of music more.

  You try to reset by pressing the power button / stop 20 seconds does not help.

  Using different USB ports does NOT help.

  The cable using different USB does not help.

  Another computer has NOT appeared.

• Need HELP! My Sansa Clip + is no longer recognized by my PC!

  In fact, when I connect my Sansa Clip + to my PC via USB, it will recognize in 'My Computer' for a fraction of a second & then it will disappear! The disc for my Sansa will be apear for 2-5 seconds & then bam, gone.

  Sometimes the Sansa Clip + will reappear again at my drive after leaving connected, but even once, it will appear only for a fraction of a second & disapear as he was immediately disconnected.

  After that my Sansa Clip + is going to just play the music as it was not yet connected to my PC with the USB cable. I don't think it's the same in charge when connected.

  I have an another spare Sansa Clip + & when I connect it to my PC with the USB cable even & the same USB port, it is perfectly recognised! No problem with that!

  My Sansa Clip dies or the USB connector on the end let go & not able to login properly?
  What I have to buy a new, or is it repairable?

  Have you tried to exchange the cables? Sounds like the cable you use (which connects intermittently or fresh) may have a loose wire or PIN.

• Sansa Clip Zip battery does not charge, goes directly to the screen of the song

  It's my third Sansa MP3 players.  The first was a Sansa Fuze with the round button.  Like that one but my husband needed more that I did it I gave it to him.  He is old, but the player is still so today.

  The second was a Sansa Fuze + with the touchpad.  The touchpad has been way too sensitive but I need to play only two songs for sleep therapy while I was fine with it until the battery suddenly stopped charging a few months ago, I posted my problems in the Sansa Fuze + forum.  After trying a few suggestions, I finally accepted that he was a Goner.

  I bought this Sansa Clip Zip 4 G, thinking that should last at least for a while because I use every day.  In fact, I needed only when I had disorders of sleep during the night;  I probably used it once every two weeks or more.  I used my cell phone to the device, had no problems until now.

  The last time that I loaded it was 2 weeks, to 98% full - the thing never indicated 100% while it was a little weird.  In any case, I had problems sleeping two nights ago so I took out the Clip Zip and noticed that the battery still had plenty of juice left.  This morning I checked the battery, he had 68%, but I thought I needed could again tonight so better it load up, just in case where.

  I connected it to my computer, but it did not show "connected" screen  Instead, he went straight to the last song I listened to.  I thought it was weird so I turned off the player then tried again.  Of course, he went directly to the screen of the song.  I noticed that the battery icon was showing 'filler '.  I thought that if I left it connected to the pc long enough IT would eventually deducted.  Two hours later, I checked the computer and it says that the drive battery was dangerously low.  I disconnected and then reconnected and this time he said 98% charged.  I loaded a bit more just in case so I used the player for about 15 minutes and the player turns off.  Plugged into the pc and now it says battery is extremely low, while the last hours do not charge the battery, but it drains pretty!

  My last attempt was to plug into a wall charger and guess what?  He went directly to the screen of the song once again.  Contrary to connect to the computer, I could actually turn off the player but this way does not charge the battery, or.   It's exactly the same problem as my second player, the Sansa Fuze +.

  I bought the last two players from Sansa, simply because I really liked the first which of course had been abandoned a long time ago.  I don't know if I have bad luck or it is just an issue joint Sansa players but one way or the other I don't buy any Sansa more in the future.  He is a big name that comes with the big disappointment!

  You can also try a reset by pressing and hold the power button for 20-30 seconds. Release it and then turn it on normally and see how it behaves.

  By your description of the message "dangerously low" you get then plug it into your computer, which tells me that you use MTP mode on the player (or default automatic default, MTP). MTP mode can be pretty weird; better to use MSC mode unless you have need to PSG for "protected" content or DRM files such as Rhapsody or audio in your library or Audible books. The small "crirically" message is a bug in Windows 7 (using MTP mode) that Microsoft did not consider important enough to fix.

• Sansa Clip + problems, correct the records but unknown marking and scrambled the tracks. Help!

  Hi guys,.

  There can someone please offer some advice for me and my husband before we became completely crazy?

  We bought for our daughter the Sansa Clip +, but we are having the same problem occur over and over again.

  During his music and audio books have first been loaded above all was fine. Added items displayed in the files and the right places but, now, for some reason when we add anything, the record of the album can be seen, but it also creates an additional folder that displayed as "Unknown". When you go and try to play inside this folder it does not work... "We always ensure that there is proper use of marking we MP" tag, so I know that the questions are not because of it.

  We have tried everything we can think of. Tried to update but I think we already have the latest version installed in any case - V01.02.18P, performed a factory reset, put in shape and I have tried using different modes, but it makes no sense. Why everything fine was a couple of days and not now...

  We use a 16 GB Kingston SDHC Card inside the Clip +.

  Please any ideas would be welcome because it becomes a nightmare.

  Thanks Claire x

  I should add that I am starting to think that I can have bought a card SD of FAKE writing is rubbing on the front of the card... IS this likely and if so could cause of the issues I am currently experiencing? XX

• Sansa Clip + Player ignores the titles with sound of frying after the last firmware update

  Hello

  My Sansa Clip + tracks audio playback stopped (same mp3 files it used to always play) after I updated to firmware 1.02.18A.

  The player jumps just all tracks with sound of frying one after the other.  No longer play.

  What's wrong??

  Is it possible to fix it?

  Is it possible to revert to the original firmware version 1.02.15 that worked well?

  Well,.

  I don't know what the problem actually was, but certainly it's associated BONE.
  I'm at home in my Windows 7 and everything works perfectly now.

  The problem I experienced was at work, where I have Windows XP SP3 OS.

  On Windows 7 home, I copy the MP3 files in MSC mode and don't play them no problem at all.

  Driver to work on Windows XP may be defective or unsuitable for copy files correctly on the drive using the MSC mode.

  I do not know. At least, everything works fine now.

  P.S. The funniest is that tech support lady told me that my drive is ruined and it is absolutely impossible to fix.

  She also said that it is impossible to install the previous version of firmware absolutelly and that it not there no previous version of the firmware available more she also said that the only way to "solve" the problem is for me to buy a new player

  Everything just great!

  Every1 thanks for your help.

• Sansa Clip + with Sandisk Micro SDHC

  Hi, I want to buy the Sansa Clip + and Micro SDHC 32 GB class 10 cards (specifically Sandisk MicroSDHC Card Ultra 32 GB class 10).

  Someone can confirm the compatibility of these things or give me advice on the card should I buy 32 GB class10 because I read here Sansa Clip + have problems with class 10 cards.

  just bought the hat card this week and it works very well for the me... until now.

  The player is the Zip Clip. I have not yet tried in my Clip +.

• Purchase of Sansa Clip and memory card

  I'm about to buy a Sansa Clip. I was planning on getting a 2 GB mp3 and the purchase of a 16 GB memory card.
  My question is, will they work together? A 16 GB card will work in a 2 GB drive? And the memory card should be SanDisk or can it be any business?

  Your help and your answers would be greatly appreciated!

  The Clip doesn't have a slot for card, only the Clip + and Clip Zip. Any size to maximum 32 GB will work. Any brand should work, but there has been reports of some brands does not not with the Zip model. That was supposed to be addressed in an update of the firmware, but to play in the trunk, I'd buy a SanDisk brand.

  And you can consider getting a larger capacity of 2 GB player. The extra cost is not much, and this extra room will be useful. Music libraries tend to develop, especially now that you have a cool gadget little listening to load them on.

• New Sansa Clip + turns off after a few minutes of play audiobook...

  Hello

  I was wondering if someone could help me.  Have been enjoying my new Sansa Clip + for the past two weeks.  Just been using the function of radio - finally understood how to load an audio cd on the drive.  The drive is recognized on my computer, and audio tracks are in the player very well.  When I start the audio book, the player will stop after about three minutes of play.  I need to do a soft reset before it turns on again.  This happens whenever I try to read the audio book.  I have not loaded all of the songs on the player at the moment and I was wondering if this problem was something I got wrong, or if I was just a faulty drive.  This is my first mp3 player, so I'm new to this. :-)  The radio and the pre-loaded songs work fine.  I contacted the customer service, but have had no response.  Thought I would try the forum before you give them a call.

  I hope someone can help,

  El

  You must use a ripping software and extract the mp3 or wma files. The Clip + probably does not even support .wav files.

• Sansa Clip + connect to Volkswagen Golf Mk7

  Hi guys,.

  I recently had a VW Golf 7 and I tried to connect my Sansa Clip + with it via USB.

  It work well.

  The device is in MSC mode and Yes to THE works perfectly, but not what I want, I want to know if there is a way to make it work by USB.

  In MTP mode, the device connects and 2 readers (internal + microsd) are visible, but I can't load anything on them, and finally, the display shows just "dysfunction." In MSC mode, it looks like he wants to connect to the Clip +, there is a message on the screen saying "connecting to device" or some thing like that and my Clip + says that it is connected and reading. Charge the battery via the USB port works perfectly. However, after a few minutes of this "connecting to device" message, nothing seems to happen and the Clip + is not recognized by the stereo.

  Any ideas?

  Thank you!

  EHR says:

  I could do this, but then the Clip + is completely useless to me because he got only 8 GB of memory, almost all of my music is on the SD card.

  So I guess I have to just get a micro SD to SD card and use it in my car instead. It's kindof a shame, but good

  What's a shame? That's what I do. Why place wear & tear on your drive when if you load all your songs to an SD card and use a card reader to plug into the USB port on your car stereo, it will do the same. And you're not submit your player to extreme and/or cold, heat inevitable finished autonomy or eyes curious thieves potential when you park the car.

  USB and SD (micro or full size) cards are very cheap. You could even buy a card, that copy you music to it and leave (as well as the card reader) in the car. In this way, you do not remove the card from your player all the time and having to wait for the updating of the database when you put it back in it.
