• 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.

• Sansa Clip + does turn on at all!

  My Sansa Clip + (4 GB) will not turn on. I tried:

  • By pressing the power button while up to one minute
  • By pressing the power button and the Middle up to one minute button for
  • Plug USB wall adapter
  • Connect to computer

  No sign of life at all.

  I loaded full yesterday and I used it this morning, but an hour later it just stopped working.

  Help, please!

  I found the problem:

  Sansa clips don't work not in sous-zero temperatures, and when they fail, they are not off, so it's a combination of battery flat and temperature.

  FIX: In a setting slightly warm place (sometimes several days) just leave it plugged and turn it on.

• 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 + does not start or is not recognized by my computer.

  I listened for the Sansa Clip + to work for about two hours after charging the battery. It stops all of a sudden. It will not turn on, nor is it recognized by my computer. I tried a soft reset by holding the power button and I still get nothing. I tried to connect to different computers and different USB ports on each computer. I can also load with another cord which is not read.

  Any help would be appreciated, thanks

  Have you tried holding down the power button (some say 30 seconds, but I don't think he'd be as long) and then releasing and clicking it normally? This is what worked for me both times as my Clip + died spontaneously.

• Completely insensitive Sansa Clip

  I just bought a Sansa Clip 8 gb yesterday, and today I finally had the time and access to put the music on it. I installed Windows Media Player 11, sync my music, made sure it was fully charged and decided to go out for a run. I listened to a song repeatedly (he played throughout many times so far) when it suddenly stopped playing mid-song after about forty minutes. The menu screen do not appear, key does not turn on and I can not reset regardless of how long I hold it in the "high" position. If I connect it to my computer, it is not read (nothing appears on my computer)... in one of the USB ports. It is not read on another Windows XP computer in the House, either. I tried to install the update for Sansa, but it will not install as the Clip isn't well of my computer. I tried to hold the power button for 20 seconds, locking and pressing the main select button while inserting the USB cable and nothing helped. Curiously, it is still running as far as I can tell because when you plug / unplug the headphones you can hear the "flying" static, you would do an audio device in use. I can't return or Exchange it at Wal-Mart because I left the front desk in another State, and I'd really prefer not to send to the manufacturer at my own expense given their promise to offer a «free of defects of design» product If someone could help me troubleshoot my way in a working mp3 player, I would really appreciate it. Thanks in advance.

  I waited for Wal-Mart finish digging through their recipes to find the mine, and you know... after 60 hours of idleness, the Clip has decided to finally die. I could load after this and update the firmware. Should work fine now. I'll probably still pick up the receipt just in case.

• Sansa Clip is insensitive (malfunction)

  To start things, I've owned a Sansa Clip 2 GB for about a month now, and I never had any problems with it until today... even if I'm to blame for causing its functioning. Is how he dropped it when I was trying to get some songs from my Mac sisters I wanted (my laptop is Vista, so suddenly I was not familiar with the change in systems), I don't a not eject the Sansa Clip correctly the USB. He ended up screwing up, and now I can't make it work because it tends to freeze when I turn it on (after holding the power button for 15 seconds or less). Does anyone have advice on how I can fix this, or to all least able to reset it so that it can work? By the way, thanks in advance.

  Basically, you can run a check on it as if it were a generic drive (say a hard drive or a USB "key")

  the exact command depends on you and the operating system, fsck, chkdsk or (for example xp) right-click on the sansa msc mode (should appear as a removable USB - say-), properties, tools, check now.

  as an alternative, if you know that you can just re - put songs on the clip without having to purchase them again, simply reformat the drive, there is a specific menu settings entryunder.

• TWO LAPTOPS WILL NOT DETECT SANSA CLIP 8 GB IN MY COMPUTER

  I have to be very thick, but if I can install an Ipod via itunes, so it must be easy p1ss!

  I'm on my second sansa clip 8 GB, and still my laptop does not detect the device? Why is this?  Ive been hooked up for three hours as the book says, but it does not even recognize it is recharged, the battery power is in the same position, I started the so-called charge upward, and he did not move!

  the strange thing is, if I plug it into my usb HP printer port, accusations of bloody thing?

  Im confused, Ive formatted, like three times, Ive changed to automatic detection, MSC and MTP but still nothing...

  IM using Windows XP

  The usb cord little has the same end for my N95 8 GB, so I plugged my phone on my laptop using the same USB cable and it works, but for some reason this sansa will not be detected, Ive tried all ways and always make me not anywhere with her

  I don't not even a small icon in the system tray, it's in my head

  IS IT BROKEN?

  Yours, lost

  A few things to try:

  -Another USB cable.

  -Another USB port, especially one in the back of your laptop.

  -Try to set the video mode USB MSC under settings of the element.

  -Try a system reset (with the music turned off, hold the on switch upward for 15-20 seconds).

  I hope that one or the other will do.

• My Sansa Clip + is not responding!

  Hi, I've been on the street listening mp3 with my Sansa Clip + and the music stops, I check in case it was the low battery signal, but no, nothing, I come home and put the USB on it to try to reload, nothing! What is c?

  It didn't fall or have any shock, worked perfect until about an hour ago...

  PS: I live in France, both here customer service?...

  Thank you to

  Have you tried to hold the botton to power about a minute?

• Sansa clip froze screen message says "disconnected".

  My machine went on mode standby mode when it is connected with the Sansa clip. I grew up my machine and unplugged the USB Sansa, since then clip shows a message "disconnected." Even if I'm trying out or other options it still shows offline message. I tried the firmware update, but it says that no product can be updated sansa is recognized.

  I hate it when this happens.  The Sansa off, slide the switch to the position IT and hold it there for 10-15 seconds.  This will be a soft reset of the device.

  It should now light up normally and will be recognized by the computer again.

  You can prevent this catastrophe wee by configuring the USB to stay in standby mode. With the trendy Sansa, in Device Manager, go to Bus USB controllers, and expand that.  You will see a list of ads from hub USB root at the bottom of the tree.

  Starting at the bottom, click twice on each one and select Properties.  The Sansa is hidden in this point of view, but it is be clicking on the current tab.  When you have found the position of hub with the Sansa listed, click the power management tab, and uncheck "allow the computer to turn off this device to save power".

  Please note that the Sansa Updater will modernize only the firmware currently installed the latest version, but it is not designed to reinstall the same version, as in the case of a repair.  To reinstall the same version, you must follow the instructions to install the firmware manually.

  In this particular case, I don't think it will damage your firmware.  The soft reset should do the trick.

• The Sansa Clip - button / stop

  I think I have a similar problem to most of the people on this site, I have a sansa clip (2 GB) blue and the other day, that the girlfriend was listening, however, it turned off as usual but nevertheless I wanted to use it the next day, when I came to try to turn it on, but it would not accept.

  I tried all the options about resetting it, and also I have updated the firmware version I could access using the WEDGE + middle button Option while only connected via a USB cable. However, now that ive done it, im able to see the sansa clip as an element connected on the list 'my computer '. Everything I've had there been deleted. Then back to the factory settings.

  However when I have the camera connected to the computer and I'm going to turn off while its still connected, I can, and when I go to turn it back on again, it turns on.

  Its when I have the device disconnected from the computer and try the power button, it will not only she won't turn on and I thought it might be something to with me a fall, which, if I did, I don't remember because I the care normally in a safe place as I consider that my MP3 as my baby... lol.

  Anyway, hope you guys have a few suggestions that I'm totally distraught...

  Please get back to me as soon as POSSIBLE

  Thank you

  Concerning

  David

  Have you read the other threads on the same topic? If you are unable to turn on, you may need to get another, exchanging where you bought it, or have it replaced by SanDisk warranty.

  Insofar as all your music being gone, I doubt it. More likely is that in your update of the firmware, your device default to opposite USB mode you used to put the music on with. If you put the music in MSC mode, it does not display in MTP mode and vice versa. It is still there, but your computer only 'see' in the mode he was transferred in.
