Which Micro SD types are compatibile with the Clip Zip ?

Amazon’s product page for the Sansa Clip Zip states:

“If you need additional space, you can use the player’s microSD/microSDHC card slot to expand your player’s capacity”

I would like the best bang for my buck,

I think these are all the Micro SD types on amazon:

sd hc

sd xc

sd xc mobile ultra

sd xc ultra

Are all these types compatible with the Clip Zip ?

I read somewhere that Rockbox can be installed, and the Micro SD card can be formatted to FAT32,

as I’d like to get a 64GB Micro SD card.

Thanks in advanced

Officially, only SD & SDHC format memory cards are supported. You can re-format the SDXC cards (64GB) to FAT32 and use them, even with the original firmware. Rockbox is not necessary, but you may run into the database limitation if using the OF, depending on how many files you put on it.

I wouldn’t waste my money on the Ultra series. It’s a “faster” card, but you don’t need that with an mp3 player, only a digital camera taking HD video and such.

alright thanks tapeworm

amazon seems to only have 64gb sandisk micro sd cards in ultra or mobile ultra

does sandisk make 64gb micro sd cards that aren’t ultra or mobile ultra ?

“ultra” and “mobile” are just product names, not real things. If they only sell “mobile ultra super turbo black label edition” in that size, then just buy it.

Wrong link?  That’s not a micro card.

For the OP, note, also, that you don’t have to buy a SanDisk card–other cards should work as well, from other manufacturers.  (Having said that, the Zip, in the past, has had some issues with some cards from other manufacturers, although this bug seems to have been fixed (although I’m not sure if this has been fully handled)–I’d always make sure that you can return, if needed.)

Nor is it a 64GB SDXC card as the OP was asking about. It’s a 32GB card. :wink:

Yes false Link. :slight_smile:
