• 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.

The largest size is now 32 GB and it works perfectly in the Clip +. -It loads slowly out of the map is the largest? The extent of the game? N ° but the updating of the database which occurs after you disconnect the computer grows accordingly as the map fills with more files. -Once I have pluged use Windows Explorer to copy MP3 Clip +. The microSD card will still work as copy to internal memory? Well Yes. Don't forget, if using MSC mode it will be 2 separate and marked disks separately, as F: and G:. The Clip will be 1 +; the 2nd will be card. This occurs if a card is inserted or not. See you soon

• Transfer from Windows Media Player to Zip Sansa Clip

  In the end, I am creating playlists on my Sansa Clip Zip. So I think THAT I have to create a playlist in Windows Media Player and then sync my Sansa Clip Zip. For some reason any I am only able to see 5 playlists, but I know that I have created several of them. In fact, if I try to create a new play list using a name I know, I created, it is said that there are already. How can I see ALL my playlists?

  Also, if I click on playlists for the Sansa Clip Zip it shows I have 9 playlists, but I can't see what they contain!

  Hi Nymickey,

  I suggest you to contact the Sansa Clip Zip support for better support associated with Sansa Clip Zip and check if it helps.

• 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.

• 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.

• Sansa Clip and Slacker Radio?

  Does anyone know if the Sansa Clip will work with Slacker Radio?

  As Slacker internet radio, and the Clip (or indeed any Sansa player) is not, I don't see how.

• 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

• 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.

• Why my sansa clip itself turning on and off

  When I turn my Sansa clip with side switch, it waits 2 seconds then turns back on itself. After 15 seconds, it is empty, but then after about 50 seconds it starts again. The only way I found to save batteries from the apartment is to run to the last song in an album and let run until the end.

  Have you tried a reset of the system?  Hold the switch market upward for 15-30 seconds.

• Problems of sound quality with my Sansa Clip and Rhapsody subscription titles

  I'm at my wits end here. This last Christmas, I bought a black 4 GB Sansa Clip for me. About two weeks after I bought it, I got a low-memory error to create a database. I've reformatted the drive, transferred songs and everything worked fine... for a week. Then I got the same error message that he died completely. As in it would not turn on at all, even connected to my PC.

  I brought instead buy one leave and received a replacement. Now it will not play long pieces of subscription Rhapsody without a slight distortion starting about 13-14 minutes in and continuing to the end of the track.

  I did not have this problem with the first Clip.

  I don't have this problem with securities that I torn and transferred.

  I don't have this problem with my c250.

  I have this problem with my 4 GB Clip son cash. However in addition to the simple to burst I get with my Clip, the music also sounds distorted, with large legs on her.

  I already have the routine of songs and dances for Rhapsody. I have also updated the firmware of these two Clips Sansa to v02.01.32a, tried to transfer using two different USB cables and several USB ports on my computer. The only thing I have not done is reformat the thing. After having to transfer 600 + tracks 3 times in two months, I am rather hesitant in doing so.

  Anyone, please, help me solve this problem?

  Ah, we'll add some gloss of your clusters.

  The your Clip file allocation table a wee 4 KB clusters.  Since you have a 4 GB device, this FAT is big enough.

  Decoding of the Rhapsody tracks requires some supercomputers, being secure to 160 Kbps wma files.  The Clip is responsible for finding the next block of data, but it must focus on this huge FAT.

  The solution is simple!

  Turn on your trusty Clip.  Go to settings > Format > Yes.  This reformatted the device with 32 KB clusters, optimized for the Sansa.

  Please note that this will delete all existing music to your Sansa, and you will need to reload.

  On the other side of the coin, you will hear now own sounding music!

  If you format from Windows, it has the bad habit of formatting with teeny 4 KB clusters - and stuttering that results will make you crazy.  If you format Windows, ALWAYS follow-up with a format on the device via the parameters.

• Sansa Clip + crashes

  Hello!

  for some time, I have a 8 GB Sansa Clip + - and I've always been very happy and very pleased with it.

  Yesterday I received news MP3-songs of a friend of mine (music of his group - so nothing illegal). Listened on my laptop - all right.

  So I copied them on my clip, disconnected from the laptop, expected that the database has been updated to a new folder (void) and I wanted to hear new music. The time was the first time I tried, the Sansa logo came, and after a while the setting menu appeared. Then I tried another time, the screen starts to move in the list of music to the play screen (the one with the title of the music and the break...) but the clip got stuck. I can see now on the left half in part list in this folder and on the right half partially the game screen. And that's it: the clip is dead. I can rely on what I want, but nothing happens. I can connect to the laptop, but he doesn't realize the clip. The only thing I can do to wait ist until the battery is empty, and then the player is running again. But only with all the old music (and a few other new music I copied yesterday). As soon as I go to the new folder with music from my friend, I have the same chrash again.

  So I deleted the folder. Make one folder somewhere else and copied the songs to there - same effect

  So I used the Sansa updater - new firmware - same effect...

  .. but as I said - the music on my laptop works perferctly. The only difference I've found (but I don't compared with some old songs) on the new bit of archive is not defined - but I can't test that now I have to wait until the battery is empty for access to my video again...

  Updated - reset funtion works, makes it easier... on the clip, the bit of archive have been set for a reason - but still I put on the laptop and copied their new. No effect.

  After the first error (where the logo appears and after awhile the settings menu) then I can see very short "update database" - I thought that the problem could be here - mtable.sys deleted, disconnected, database has been updated again - always the same s *.

  Someone has an idea of what's going on here?

  see you soon,

  Luis

  The ID3 tags on these new songs are either missing or f'd up.
