Ok, what I said in previous reply, while true, is NOT what the problem was.
The problem was that the unit did NOT have the latest firmware in it!
We probably all assume that a unit bought just before Christmas (i.e. about a month ago)
would have the latest firmware in it. But, that need not be the case.
The latest/newest firmware RIGHT NOW (in Jan 2015) is version 1.22.
So, I’d advise anyone who buys the Clip Sport to first CHECK and see what
revision is currently in the unit, and if it’s a lower number than that, your FIRST step
is to bring it up-to-date!
To check it, just navigate to “Settings” >“System Settings”> “Info”, and examine
the “Version” number. (Think I have that right.!?)
Once up to date, now when you load your music files, you have the best chance that everything
will work as it is supposed to. [I say ‘best chance’ because there may still be other bugs.]
===========
My evidence for this:
(1) First, I attached the MP3-player to my computer, and DELETED all the
songs that I had loaded into its “Music” folder.
(2) Then, I followed the firmware update procedure, as shown on this webste.
(3) Lastly, I re-loaded my MP3 files, still in their ‘sub-directory-tree’ format, into
the “Music” folder on the player, exactly as I had done earlier.
Yes, everything NOW works as planned…I can now listen to every album, of
every artist.
Hope this helps someone else that has had problems!
