• Computer does not display the Sansa Clip

  For about a week, my computer no longer displays my Sansa Clip when I plug upward with the USB cable. I can still hear the computer, the connection of detection, but it does not show in Windows Explorer, as before. I checked the setting on the clip and it sees - USB - Auto detection. If I change this meteorological service of the Canada, Windows Explorer displays the clip and folders, but the folders are empty. However, the files are still on the clip and play. Need to know what is happening, so I can add other files to my clip.

  Thanks for the inside. I just do what you say and everything works fine now. Thank you and Merry Christmas.

• 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 plus and itunes - how to transfer files

  I'm really ignorant, but I would be very grateful for the help.   I did research on this topic here but do not understand the answers...

  Basically, I use itunes on Windows XP.  I just boughts liked a Sansa clip.

  I don't know even what kind of files I have in itunes - they are mostly ripped a CD. I guess they were mp3s but looking at recent postings here it looks like they may be something else (ACC file extensions?).   Anyway, I was fiddling around in itunes but have not been able to verify what are the types of files ('cos I'm ignoring it!)

  Earlier today I just copied some of the songs in itunes, go to Windows Explorer and paste in the section music to the Sansa Clip file.   They played very well...

  Then I went and deleted these files on the Sansa Clip Plus, because they were just an experiment.

  Then I went back to itunes and copied the files over.   This time, when I went to paste the files in Sansa Clip Plus in Windows Explorer, I found the option to paste is grayed out.

  I'm stuck and would be incredibly grateful for the help.   As you can from it of the mess that the above, any guidance I get has to be pretty basic.

  the easiest way is just to look at the files in windows Explorer. go to documents, then music. the music folder to itunes folder. That's where itunes stores all the files. you need to configure the computer to display file extensions for known file types. Find your MP3 files and copy them from windows Explorer, then glue them to the clamp.

• New Sansa Clip + not showing the track titles

  I recently got a new Sansa Clip + as a Christmas gift to replace my old (his helmet came out). I've updated to the latest firmware (even my old 01.02.18A,), and I copied my entire library of music from the old to the new player. Everything plays and works in the same way, except for one thing: on the new drive, the song titles never see the place, and the name of the file is always displayed during playback of a song. My old player would show the title of the song of the metadata instead of the file name during playback if it was available. I checked that the titles are actually there and were not lost through some freak mishap copy, so I'm puzzled as to why it won't work as my old drive.

  Anyone know of the issue and how to fix it?

  Well, Yes, that is my point of view. All tags are there, and all the rest (album, artist, etc.) is displayed in the main screen of the reading and the news section of track except for the title (who, oddly, has never had a track in any case information entry, but that is not the issue).

  ... well that, as strange as it may seem, the titles of the tracks seem to have returned - after, I moved music off the device to analyze the data volume to activate the Clip + Replay Gain. Really weird, but hey, it works now! (Maybe switch to the computer did it, since I initially copied it directly between devices?)

• 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.

• Sansa Clip: Loading screen saver: can manually enable us to extend the life of the screen?

  What charge the Sansa Clip: after an hour, the screen turns white (a screen saver, I guess).

  I would like to activate the screen saver immediately, to extend the duration of the display.  Is it possible to do?

  Or maybe in a version of firmware future, so a sequence button turn it on.

  Unless the life of the screen is much longer than the lifetime of the unit in general...

  Thanks for your time.

  As far as I know, you can't do it manually now.

  This is the reason why some people with an adapter for recharging: when charging via AC, the display shuts off after setting the time of the backlight of your display.

  Indeed, even if it bugs some of us, it is likely that display time of 1 hour during USB charging will not significantly affect the ultimate lifecycle of the screen, in the end; If I remember correctly, the screen has a life expectancy of 5000 hours or something like that (sorry, it's been a while) - it is 208 days of fulltime show all day/night long.  By the time you reach this point, probably, if ever, the battery life may have been reached, or you probably may have gone to another player, as technology improves over time.  But it's all unique to each user (if you are more rare than the user who guard 8 hours per day, life of the screen display will be reached about 1.7 years; if you use your player lot every day and are charging every day, charging via AC could save you 365 hours of projection of the time per year (, the equivalent of almost a month of 1.7 years screen time), and so you can recharge via AC just to cover as much as possible.  (More realistic, if your screen is on for 2 hours a day, which is still a lot, unless you really keep your screen on a lot, the screen should last for about 7 years or more - think where you will be and what technology you are using maybe at this time.)

• I upgraded the firmware Sansa Clip & now I don't see the files I had previously in

  Hi guys, this is my problem: I have a sansa clip v2, it worked fine until yesterday, when I updated the firmware with sansa updater; the upgrade went smoothly, but now my windows xp sp3 detects the drive because it was a normal penstick/external hd and I cannot see the files I already had in it: I can still listen to their - players works as usual - but, as I don't see them, I can't delete them! I tried the "hidden and system files" in folder options, but it did not help. I think that after the upgrade of the internal structure of the file has changed a bit, now it is: sound, music, audio books, podcasts, record, WMPinfo.xml, MTABLE. SYS, RES_INFO. SYS, SYS_CONF. SYS, version.sdk. I try to put a few new files in the folder "music" and it works perfectly, they appear in the player, so the problem is only with the 'old'; in fact, I would not delete them mind these files if it is not necessary, because I have them on my hard drive).

  I hope someone can help me, thank you very much! (and please excuse my bad spelling & grammar, I'm Italian!  :-))

  1. pick up your player Sansa Clip - the physical drive you bought.

  2. activate.

  3. press the small 'home' button, the small button on the front of the item located at the top right of the Ferris wheel - it's the small button with the little house printed on it.

  4. press on the lower part of the wheel (at 06:00 position) until the screen shows the settings.

  5. press once on the right side of the wheel (at 03:00 position) to access settings options.

  6. press on the lower part of the wheel (at 06:00 position) until the display shows USB mode.

  7. press the right side of the wheel (at 03:00 position) once to enter USB mode options.

  8. tap up or down the Ferris wheel (at 12 and 06:00 positions) and select the USB setting menu is currently not checked (I think that this will be the PSG; ignore the setting "Auto", for the reasons I stated above), then select it by pressing the right side of the wheel (at 03:00 position).

  9. you have now set your video mode MTP USB drive.  Press the small home button twice to return to the regular game mode.

  And that's all.  Now when you connect your player to Clip on your computer, your files should appear on your computer.  If they don't, repeat the above, but set the USB to the MSC mode.

  I hope this helps.

  PS As I said earlier, the USB modes, the MSC mode (compared to the MTP mode) is more universal and will work on multiple computers.  If you use a video player on other computers, you can set your video player in MSC mode, to ensure that it will connect to other computers.  If this is the case and if your video player has been set to MTP mode so far, before changing the setting of mode USB mode MSC, to be able to see all files in the reader of your video on your computer, first copy the files from the drive of your music back to your computer delete them out of your video player, set the Clip Player USB Service mode weather of the Canada (see above) and then copy the files to your video player.  This ensures that you can see all the files of your video player when it is connected to your computer.

• 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.

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.

• Sansa Clip 4 GB Silver - Volume? Disappear!

  Hi all

  I would like to share with you my problem with my Sansa Clip (purchased 1.5 years ago) wonderful...

  Given that I have installed the latest firmware (two weeks ago more or less) I noticed that the Volume menu is missing it is disappear!

  I'm in Europe, and right now my Sansa manual becomes almost unnecessary due to the change of firmware...

  Anyone know how to adjust the volume higher and hence? get up to the maximum level is so low... I have regular headphones (with no sound limit)...

  is possible that sansa must follow the European rules on the decibel limit? If it is, I do not agree because I think is the TSA who should choose how to listen to music.

  Hope that this message could be useful also for other European customers

  1. on your Clip, press the button (the small button on the face of the clamp) home.

  2. go to the bottom and select settings.

  3. under settings, go down and select Reset all.

  4. When prompted, choose North America or the rest of the world for your region.

  This, then, gives you an option of high volume under the option of adjusting the Volume under settings.  Go to and select it.

• I'm having a problem strange sync my 4 GB Sansa Clip + with Winamp

  Sansa Clip + 4 GB

  MTP mode

  MicroSDHC 32GB

  Windows 7 64 - bit Winamp (no additional plugins)

  I recently bought a new 4 GB Sansa Clip + with a 32 GB MicroSD card. Using Winamp, I synced my library on the SD card. Everything went as not expected, no problems to report, I could play all the songs perfectly.

  But now, whenever I try to sync the SD card in the player, Winamp does not appear to recognize the files he had previously synced. A window tells me that there are X number of songs on the Sansa Clip + who are not in the library and encourage me to remove them, let them, or cancel. (photo of the box below)

  

  Basically, Winamp tells me again and again to remove and re - sync a load of songs that are already on the player, which is extremely long and tedious, when all I want is to synchronize an album or two. This happens even if I plug the appliance, let it cool off, and then plug it back to synchronize again.

  If anyone has had this same problem and would be willing to share the solution, me a huge favor. Thank you.

  Nevermind, I figured it. It turns out that the solution was to set the USB MSC instead of MTP mode. Who would have thought?

  Thanks for any help.

• 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 + 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.
