• Looking for guidance, Clip Zip or Clip +.

  My beloved clip zip just died.  I thought to replace it with the new sport clip, but a check of the forums told me it would be disappointing to at least.  I use my zip primarily audio books and have an extensive library of books on several chips for my Zip.  As I wanted to replace the Zip file, I discovered that it seems to be abandoned.  I can find a little but they are twice what I paid initially for mine and if Sansa is not making more...  Anyway, it also seems the Clip + is still in production.  Can someone tell me, the Clip will be + play chips I put in place for the Zip.  That what I lose in the way?  You recommend staying with the Zip for as long as I can get a new one to last?  I started with a simple clip and improved because of the chip.  Albumn art and color are not important to me, but with success to listening to audio books without editing each track is.  I'm looking for advice from my fellow lovers of Zip.  Thank you

  That's the beautiful thing about the microSD - can exchange cards in and out, including between the actors (including the Clip + and Clip Zip).

• Freezing on the transfer of your media: Clip Zip +.

  Hi all

  Recently bought a Clip Zip + after hearing good reputation and my previous disappearance of mp3 player with high expectations.  Unfortunately, I have a very frustrating problem that a Frost comes to transfer your media stage (it happens about 10% and stops) must perform a reset to turn off (I tried reset several times but nothing helped).

  Later, I contacted support directly who suggested that the necessary firmware update - got the file stored in the drive... its possible that its in the wrong place I don't really understand the term root file.

  Aplogies if I have not included adequate information or clarity. I would be really grateful if someone could shed some light on my problem

  The "directory" is where you open your player in Windows Explorer (preferably in MSC mode) and see the folders music, Playlists, sports, audio books, records, etc. and a few files. This is your root directory (or top). Manually, do drag & drop (or copy & paste) the decompressed .bin (firmware) file here, but not in files; Target just a blank space, and release your mouse button.

  That said however, I don't think it's your problem. I guess it is somewhere with one (or more) of your files. Try to send a little more at the time, up card and see if they transfer OK. When he hung up again, you know that your child problem lies in this band.

  Let us know if you have other problems.

• card not detected in Clip Zip uSD

  Hi all, I have a new Clip Zip and I have a uSD 8 and 16 GB card.  When you insert the card in the reader, I am able to get in shape, but the storage does not seem to be available.  The main software Sansa only deteects 4 GB on the drive.  When I right click the external card in file Explorer, its listed as 0GO.  Is there something that I need to enable so that cards can be used in the drive?  Trying to drag and drop files on the external card, it is said that there is not enough room.

  Not sure that microUSB cards operate differently, no?  Sometimes we hear counterfeit cards, acting like that.

  You could try reformatting the cards with the help of trainer of the SD Association - which is sometimes useful tool.

  Other things to try, if you have not yet:

  -Before anything else, a reset of the reader (hold the switch down for 15-20 seconds approximately).

  -A new application of the firmware of the player (easy to do) - it might have become corrupted.  See the sticky thread upgrade the firmware at the top of the forum.

  If all goes well, one or the other will work, and is not a defective card reader.  But if it is, contact the vendor for a replacement, or contact SanDisk similarly.   1-866-SanDisk (726-3475) 08:00 - 19: 00 PST, m..

• SlotMusic cards work with Clip Zip?

  I know the Clip Zip has a microSD slot, but I don't see Compatibility SlotMusic mentioned in the specifications.

  SlotRadio and SlotMusic cards work fine in the Zip.

• Play OGG tracks, freezes my Sansa Clip Zip

  Hello

  I tried that twice add files ogg to my card 32 Gb microSDHC SanDisk Ultra that I use with my Sansa Clip Zip, and the two times my player froze when he tried to play.

  I simply copy/paste ogg files, so I did not use any software to manage the upload. When I download mp3, I usually use the Winamp player.

  Ogg files are soundtrack of games shipped with my purchase on www.gog.com.

  I do something wrong when I download ogg files? Music plays without problem in VLC media player.

  Thank you.

  The Ogg decoder in the sandisk firmware is pretty buggy and really inefficient power. I talked to them years sending a few corrections (they use the standard decoder open source, just a version older and without much optimization), but who worked all the time, they stopped really about adding new things never happened. If you use multiple Ogg files, you should probably watch using Rockbox. I think the battery life is 2 or 3 times longer due to optimizations, and compatibility is much better.

• Am I duplicating music clip-zip when I download the entire file of MUSIC from Windows Media?

  On my Zip Clip with a micro 32 card: using Windows Media, I downloaded my whole 'MUSIC' of the file to the device.   Now that I've added more music in my Windows Media MUSIC file, download the entire file again for "updating" of new music, than i've got, or will I be duplicating what was there before?

  It seems terribly painful to have to selectively add new music, checking back & comes to see what is already uploaded on the Clip-Zip.

  If you use the 'sync' feature in WMP, it will add only what is new or changed in your music on your computer folder. Note that this method is a double-edged sword; It will also remove all the files that you may have removed the record music from your computer. This is not a good thing.

• Wall charger for Clip Zip

  Does anyone have a recommendation for a wall charger for a Clip Zip?

  Do not buy cheap generic Chargers if, especially since real Motorola, Blackberry or Nokia chargers can be purchased on Amazon for less $5. A generic charger may damage your player. Many people already have a charger with a usb microphone supplied with their cell phone tip. That would be fine also to load the Zip Clip. Just to be sure, check that it is said on the 5 volt charger. Almost all mobile phone chargers are 450ma or higher.

• 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.

• Work of the trouble on Sansa Clip Zip

  Hi - I have problems with the work on my Sansa Clip Zip.  Work does not show for each song.  For songs ripped in the Zune software will show the work.  However, for the ripped songs in iTunes does not show the work.  I tried to put .jpg files in the folders with the songs, make sure they are of size less than 100 KB and even tried to resize one at 200 x 200 pixels (though the size was too large of pizels overall size was fine).  Any ideas?  Thank you.

  Use 'album art.jpg' (without the quotes and with space, not a line of underscore) or "folder.jpg" (again, without the quotes).

  I'm not 100% sure, but I think .m4a files Apple 'protected '. The Zip will not play them. They would need to be converted to a type of file supported as .aac (Apple DRM-free format) or .mp3 (universal format).

  You can use MP3Tag above (free to download) software to incorporate images of cover art in the "extended" part tag. Note that you need to do this for each (long) file rather than the image one (album art.jpg) for all files in the folder even the opposite effect.

• Charger for Sansa Clip Zip?

  I want to use my Sansa Zip clips as a component of my stereo.  Is there a product that keep the Zip Clip, load it and at the same time allow it to play music in stereo system?

  That Clip Zip only uses a 8.Lorsque micro-USB plug, there is no possible/available docking station. However, you can use it via a cable connector that specializes in port AUX in to your stereo to play through your stereo speakers. It will not charge.

• Clip Zip will not display the names of files in the menu books/audiobooks

  Firmware has been updated, but the folder names are not displayed. Only 'unknown' under the category of audio books.

  When giong in the audiobooks menu, it goes directly to the list of titles during the passage. Leaving out, it shows the unknown as if he was now showing a folder name. Out once more then it goes into the menu books audio books and Podcasts as an option.

  Also, it's showing only a folder name 'Unknown' when there is more.

  Exactly the same thing is happening under the Podcasts menu also.

  What I'm missing here? Thank you.

  Currently, navigation in folders only operates in the submenu of the music and allows you to navigate to the music folder.

  Books / Audible books / Podcasts can only be traversed by using the method of navigation standard ID3 tag.  Without these data, all we can do is to navigate between the 'unknown' and 'unknown '.

  As you described, note that it is not an option of records under the heading books.  Clip Zip has the basic navigation under the music only for the moment.  I understand your frustration (The Fuze + to navigate anywhere with ease in the comparison, but it is runnning a platform different processor despite research similar to the UI Clip Zip)

  The best thing to do is to fix your ID3 tag on your music data using a tags editor suitable as MP3Tag.  Once this is done the first time with the music library on your computer, all can navigate easily.

• Clip Zip ignores certain songs and blocks computer when disconnected

  OK, I tried to find a solution to my problem but I've not seen everything that has been resolved or the same problem, I have.  I use a Windows 7 desktop computer and have a 4 GB Clip Zip purple.  My main problem is that the music I downloaded from eMusic and transferred through Windows Media Player. The songs will sometimes play on the Zip Clip.  I say sometimes because random entire albums or a song or two in an album will not play.  These are your Mbit/s MP3 files average 4-5 MB, 192, with no DRM.  Has anyone identified a solution?  I reformatted, reinstalled the firmware and done everything short of reformat the songs into something else.

  In addition, from time to time if I disconnect the zip clip this computer freezes and I have to do a hard reboot.  Has anyone else encountered this problem?  I have to tell Windows to eject?

  No worries, glad you got it running.  Sometimes, Windows Media Player may have problems with transfers.  Fortunately, it is not too often.  Use the MSC mode, you have the somplete of transfer control, and the device is seen by the computer as a mass storage device.  As long as your files have incorporated album covers, the Zip will use these images and everything will be fine.

  MTP mode is a 'virtual' layer on MSC, where the player is addressed as a media device.  As a result, a lot of things is automated in the background.  Album art is sent to a special 'albums' folder and other information, such as sure clock and device Clip Zip ID are available for DRM purposes (multimedia protected) if necessary.  Oh, playlisting with .pla format lists is also possible - these lists are not specific to the path as MSC, which means that even if the file is located on the microSD card and records is not serious.

  Windows Media Player is happy with two modes, by the way.

  With the Zip Clip, the USB controller manages only one mode at a time to access.  It is probably the fancy that causes more confusion.  If you transfer a file in a mode, then go to the other, the files that you have transferred to the other mode will be not visible from the computer, even if the Zip Clip itself can see both.  For this reason, we recommend that people choose a mode and stick with it, so that you can access all of the computer.

  Oh, one final thought-Yes, you can simply drag and drop your music files in the music folder, and the player will locate based on the ID3 tags (album / artist / genre / song).  For podcasts or audio books, you can drag the files in these folders, giving you additional functions for these files (elapsed time, the playback speed).

• No sound from the Clip when it is connected to the car charger and car s in the

  I just got a car charger for my 8 GB Clip. I have the Clip connected to the connector of the car aux in, and it plays beautifully this way.

  However, when I connect the car charger, which is a fact by Motorola for a mobile phone, the sound of the Clip completely stops.  There is no sound at all.

  Even if I barely touch the metal of the car charger USB plug to the USB port of the clamp, the sound cuts.

  A ground loop isolator would correct this problem? The comments that I have read of these say all that they helped with motor and alternator noise, but I don't have that.  I have no sound at all, even if the Clip is loaded and he continues to play according to the display of the item.

  I checked the car charger works well because I have a box of jump with a record of 12 VDC (just like in the car).  The cool Clip and plays with a helmet with the Motorola car charger in this configuration very well.

  Any ideas what is wrong and how to fix it?

  Thanks in advance.

  Just for this follow-up, the ground loop isolator completely fixed the problem I had with the sound cutting on my video in the car.

  The one I chose was the PAC SNI-1/3.5 RCA noise filter.  He goes online with 3.5 mm cable to the and has a socket on one end and a plug on the other.  It would have been cool if he had just had two male connectors, because then I could have plugged one side in the Clip and the other in the input of the car Jack.

  There is no significant deterioration in the sound, and now I can load the Clip while listening.
